Dell Latitude E5550 review – Dell’s secret weapon to take down the ThinkPad series
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Dell Latitude E5550 has mostly pros on its side, while the cons are really neglectable. The design is just great, but it’s like we’ve expected a bit more. Maybe at this price range aluminum would have been the way to go. However, the soft touch plastic suits the needs of most users and it still feels premium. The keyboard is absolutely stunning along with the trackpad, which we find even more comfortable than the famous trackpoint used in the ThinkPad notebook series. This might come more of a personal opinion, but Dell has surpassed the ThinkPad series in terms of interior design, keyboard design and trackpoint usability.
