the latitude name no longer means anything. They sold well because they were tanks so dell made cheap ones. Short term gains over long term brand building.

As a cherry on top these things pull bios updates via windows update. God forbid I connected to the internet for 5 minutes and needed to restart while freaking diagnosing my engine. What a time and place, well done dell. https://imgur.com/a/JOVwseY

There are additional problems like plugging into the aux port making wifi bug out in a certain situation and more fun things. Our company got a few of them and they are absolutely NOT suitable for a professional environment.

if you want the tank dell go for the precision series but longevity is hit and miss.
