Toshiba MQ01ACF050

The Toshiba MQ01ACF050 is a 2.5" hard drive with a capacity of 500 GB. The drive relies on the outdated SATA III interface for data transfer (peak throughput: 600 MB/s).

Notebookcheck says:

... The 500 GB Toshiba MQ01ACF050 HDD in our test configuration returns a respectable transfer rate of 104 MB/s according to HD Tune. This is average for a 7200 RPM drive whereas slower 5400 RPM drives are normally under 90 MB/s in the same benchmark test. Of course, this pales in comparison to NVMe SSDs or even SATA III SSDs - Dell Latitude 5280 Laptop Review, 2017

Dell Latitude 15 3590 (i7-8550U, Radeon 530) Laptop Review

Poor display, inefficient GPU. It's the least expensive 15-inch Latitude available and so cut corners are not unexpected. The number of drawbacks, however, may be a bit too much to bear. Find out what you'd be sacrificing when purchasing the Latitude 3590 instead of the pricier Latitude 5590.

Take two, action! This is the second time we have reviewed the Dell Latitude 5580. Last time, its general impression was clouded by a disappointing TN panel. This time, the 15-inch Latitude is presenting itself with a Full HD IPS panel and a pimped CPU.

Dell Latitude 5280 (7200U, HD) Laptop Review

Small and strong. Dell has created a significantly lighter chassis now that the aging E-Port is becoming a thing of the past. The lack of Thunderbolt 3, however, severely limits the docking capabilities of this latest Latitude redesign.

HP ProBook 455 G3 T1B79UT Notebook Review

Budget AMD business. The AMD model starts for about $200 USD less than the Intel ProBook 450 equivalent. Unfortunately, the hit to performance and battery life when compared to your standard ULV Core ix CPU is very tangible.
