Review: Dell Latitude 13 7370

Conclusion

Dell's Latitude 13 7370 is, in many ways, an excellent laptop. It presents a good-quality 13in display in a light 12in form factor, it's robust and well built throughout, the keyboard and trackpad are excellent, there's zero noise to contend with, port selection includes dual Thunderbolt, performance in everyday scenarios feels suitably swift, and it's backed by a comprehensive three-year warranty.

Having spent the best part of a week with the system, I see it as a potential upgrade from my ageing 2012 ThinkPad X1 Carbon, though, there are a couple of caveats that prevent it from being a clear-cut choice. The underlying Core m5 processor is the first element to raise an eyebrow, as while the chip's low-power credentials enable a lot of what's good about the Latitude design, it does struggle when the going gets tough.

The performance trade-off could be considered acceptable at the right price, but herein lies the problem: Latitude 13 is more expensive than Dell's quicker XPS alternative. An extended warranty and corporate appeal help balance the scales somewhat, yet as it stands the Latitude 13 7370 only really makes sense if your company is paying.
