Dell Latitude E5530 Pro Reviews

The Dell Latitude is a machine that will get the job done and it will do it well. The specs may not be amazing, but the machine will perform most functions and tasks without balking; and while the design may be a bit bulky, the thick exterior proves to provide a protective shell that will allow this notebook to last. Additionally the exceptional battery life ensures that users will be able to use their machine when they need it. Users who want a light and sleek transportable business notebook will ultimately be disappointed by the Latitude E55330. However, users who don't mind the machine's bulk will find a quality productive business notebook that is sure to last at a price that is very competitive.

Our review of the Latitude E5520 praised its excellent keyboard and touchpad, sufficiently bright matte display, and solid, “high-end” design. Our only complaints were minor, the most significant of which involved the lack of USB 3.0 and the high level of noise under load. Has the Latitude E5530 carried the torch forward and resolved those outstanding issues? All things considered, the Latitude E5530 is a no-nonsense business notebook that excels in most every area that counts. It offers a wide range of connectivity options including two USB 3.0 ports and compatibility with the bevy of existing Dell business docking stations and accessories. It features a phenomenal backlit keyboard and comfortable touchpad to compliment a better-than-average matte LCD panel. And its performance—even with the middle-of-the-pack Core i5-3360M option—is truly impressive, conquering even the highest-end dual-core Sandy Bridge processors. In fact, the integrated graphics are so improved with Intel HD Graphics 4000 that it’s entirely possible to play many midrange games on medium to low settings with fluid frame rates.
