Dell Inc. is out to challenge the dominance of Apple Company. With a huge percentage of the present market seeking out agile but sturdy computers, the Texas-based tech organization may just have the answer. Most of the time, users are looking for lightweight but efficient machines which can withstand work demands anytime and anywhere. This is what the 12-inch Dell Latitude 7280 unit is actually made for.

Business and financial circles will probably be the first to tell that Dell's ultraportable notebook matters. With a 7th generation Intel Core i7 processor running the product, it is difficult not to acquire one. The Dell Latitude 7280 has assumed an impressive slim build with the presence of a black magnesium-alloy element. There is a smooth perception to it the moment one touches or holds the item.

Compared to the Lenovo ThinkPad X260 which weighs 3.18 pounds, Dell's item is lighter at 2.8. Lenovo is also thicker with its 0.8-inch measurement in comparison to the Dell Latitude 7280's 0.7-inch girth. However, the handiness of the Latitude is only a bit manageable considering that the 2.6-pound EliteBook 1030 G1 is less hefty. HP's unit is also leaner with its 0.6-inch width.

Dell has installed an HDMI port and a USB 3.0 dock on the left side of the computer. The Thunderbolt USB Type-C hole and a smart-card reader can also be added. The right portion accommodates the headphone jack, the SD memory reader, and the Ethernet dock. In terms of toughness, the Dell Latitude 7280 has acquired a 15 MIL-SPEC-810G clearance. Aside from being able to function with the -20.2 to 140-degree range, the product can survive a 30-inch plunge onto plywood.

Dell has added an infrared webcam which can utilize as a security component. This will be compatible with the Windows Hello facial recognition feature. Other specifications integrated into the Latitude include a 16GB DDR4L memory. It comes with a 1,920 X 1,080 pixels resolution. The battery leads on a 42-Watt to 60-Watt-Hour cycle range.
