When creating laptops of the Latitude family, Dell engineers strive for the perfect embodiment of a business laptop with a reference balance between performance, visual aesthetics, reliability and business features. At the output, they get quite expensive laptops that can satisfy any whim of a constantly traveling businessman.

Their housings are usually made of either aluminium or carbon fibre composite with a much stronger structure than conventional plastic. Security measures include a fingerprint scanner, a TPM encryption module, an anti-theft lock and an optional Face ID. And the keyboards of many models are equipped with a trackpad as an alternative to a mouse or a classic touchpad. Almost all representatives of the series are distinguished by a long battery life, and this is extremely important for a person who spends a lot of time on the road.


The internal division of models is the same as in the Inspiron line, and all laptops are divided into 3 subclasses. Latitude 3000 is modestly equipped and rarely costs more than $1000. In such a variation, a Core i3 processor is often installed, the case is made of plastic, and the TN display is far from a riot of colours. Latitude 5000 belong, rather, to the middle class with a claim to something more. Latitude 7000 is a flagship ultrabook with maximum hardware and rare things for business laptops like a 4K display, a smart card slot or a fourth―generation USB port. The price tag for such an option can reach up to $ 3000.

Occasionally, old–school models of 2015-16 year of release flash on the market, which are completely different from the devices described above. For example, the Dell Latitude 14 7414 Rugged Extreme is a brick―like shockproof laptop that is made of shock-absorbing materials and is designed to work continuously in extreme conditions. In spy thrillers, soldiers launch military drones from such laptops.
