starting on the outside the laptop is entirely built from plastic this is where the company made a sacrifice as the material is a bit rough and bendy so durability isn't the best the lid and base have a matte surface while the sides are more glossy using plastic also makes the device thinner and lighter weighing 1.79 kilograms and being just 18.1 millimeters thick the lid can't be open with one hand but we like what comes next the input devices are fantastic as the keyboard offers clicky and tactile feedback while the touchpad is smooth and responsive there is an optional fingerprint reader as well as an IR sensor for face recognition [Music]
next on the sides we see the port selection as you can tell it's heavily populated as the left side houses an HDMI 1.4 B Port one full-sized 5 gigabit USB port and one 10 gigabit USB type-c port on the right we see a lan Port two more full-sized USB ports with one 2.0 and one five gigabit Port an audio jack and a Micro SD card reader
there are two display options one with a TN panel and one with an IPS panel we advise you to skip the TN option as IPS panels are much better for pretty much all types of work we tested the IPS version which has a full HD resolution excellent viewing angles and decent brightness peaking at 311 nits it covers about 53 of the srgb color gamut which is all right considering the laptop isn't marketed toward creators the color accuracy improves slightly with our design and gaming profile but the Delta e value still doesn't go below 2.0 more importantly the panel doesn't use harmful flickering so you're safe even with prolonged use we'll have our profiles linked in the upper right corner and in the description below
the cool stuff doesn't stop there as the upgrade ability is quite good too we see two Sodom slots for ddr4 memory which is readily available so you can easily expand the capacity for storage you get 1m.2 slot for Gen 4 ssds which can get very fast with speeds of up to 5000 megabytes per second we have a tear down video about the latitude 153530 which we'll Link in the upper right corner
the Dell Latitude 15 gets a lot of stuff right it's got well-populated I O with avariety of different ports good upgradability and decent battery life performance is quite good while the chip doesn't struggle with temperatures thanks to the good cooling setup unfortunately Dell made some sacrifices mainly the build quality in the display selection but we think the positive things about it heavily outweigh the negatives for more info about the latitude 15 check out our detailed review on our website
