The Dell Latitude 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 (7350) is
tailor made for business use. This detachable-hybrid tablet makes it
easier to carry just one device if you need a laptop computer most of the time,
and a tablet you can carry around part of the time. It’s almost-10-hour battery life,
corporate-friendly features.
Design and Features
The Latitude 7350 comes with a keyboard dock, which
differentiates it from slate tablets like the Microsoft Surface Pro 3. The system with the keyboard
attached measures 9 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.59 pounds. It's the same weight
as the Dell Latitude 14 7000 series (E7450).
Performance
The Latitude 7350 comes with an Intel Core
M-5Y71 processor with integrated Intel HD Graphics 5300. It beat the Lenovo Yoga 3 and the HP EliteBook Folio 1020 and it was barely lower than Intel-Core-i5
and i7-powered systems like the Dell Latitude E7450 (2,681), the Microsoft
Surface Pro 3 (2,704), and the Toshiba Satellite Click 2 Pro (2,939). Its test
results on Handbrake (3 minutes 50 seconds) and Adobe Photoshop CS6 (5:52) are
a bit slower than its rivals with standard Core i5 and i7 CPUs.
Battery
life is a strength for the Latitude 7350. It lasted 7 hours 29 minutes for the
tablet alone, and almost ten hours with the keyboard dock attached That's still
many hours longer than Intel-Core-M-equipped systems, like the Acer Transformer
Book T300 Chi. Full Core i5- and i7-equipped laptops and tablets, like the
Toshiba Satellite Click 2 Pro (6:48), didn't last as long, but the presence of
a higher-powered processor isn't indicative of a short battery life like it was
in the past.
Tablets
are excellent for portability and touch-screen use. Laptops are better for
productivity, particularly when you need to type more than a few words at a
time. The Dell Latitude 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 (7350) is the best of both
worlds, giving you the flexibility of a tablet or laptop at a moment's notice.
It's a fully capable detachable-hybrid tablet that will help you do your job on
the go, with minimal compromises.
