Source: Gadget Show
Dell’s Latitude range of laptops has always been unique in its own ways. While the design is sturdy and looks elegant for the most part, the features inside add to the overall package without much corner cutting. With this, Dell seems to have successfully managed to club design with mobility and the required power so it can be used literally anywhere with ease. However, if you are a Dell fan and need a powerful device that looks much premium and is more portable, go for the XPS series.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

8665U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.9 and 4.8 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
