CES 2021 | Dell updates Latitude 7420/7320 & expands the business premium-class with 15.6 inch Dell Latitude 7520

In the past, Dell Latitude laptops of the series 7000 were the creme de la creme of Dell's enterprise portfolio. At this point though, the Latitude 9000 series has assumed that function.

The new models Dell Latitude 7320 and Dell Latitude 7420 and their respective convertible variants are still premium laptops. And their importance in the Dell universe is not decreasing. On the contrary, as Dell is expanding the series with the new Latitude 7520. For the first time, business customers get the option to order the Latitude 7000 series with a 15.6 inch screen. 

Dell Latitude 7520: Latitude 7000 now with a big screen

Til now, there was an open spot in Dell's lineup. Between the mid-range Latitude 5510 and the expensive Dell Precision 5550, there was no enterprise model in the 15 inch size. While Lenovo does not make a ThinkPad T15s and there is currently now EliteBook 1050 from HP, the Lenovo ThinkPad T15 and HP EliteBook 855 were still more up-market models than the Latitude 5000. This hole is now filled by the new Dell Latitude 7520.

Latitude 7000 2021: low power screens with higher brightness, but smaller batteries

The new models of the Latitude 7000 series look a lot like their 2020 predecessors, but they are still redesigns. The updates are not as big as the new Dell Latitude 5x20, but there are some parallel developments. The maximum battery capacity decreases here as well, going down from 68 to 63 Wh. For that trade-off, the new models are slightly thinner, lighter and more compact than their predecessors.
