The Latitude E5530 is a strong choice for those seeking a durable 15-inch notebook without being tethered to an outlet. This business notebook offers plenty of performance and has a long three-year warranty. While the Lenovo T530 lacks a number pad, we give the edge to that system, as it offers a discrete graphics option and better pointing stick. However, the long battery life and sturdy chassis of the E5530 makes it an attractive option.
