Dell Latitude 15 3520 review – life in plastic, it’s budgetastic
Dell might be suffering the consequence of lack of innovation across its Inspiron lineup, but the Latitude sits ever so strong in the business market. This is mainly to the necessity of stability and security in the branch, and people see the Latitude brand as such.
And what are the best-sellers in pretty much every segment of the market? Exactly – affordable devices. The Latitude 15 3520 is one of them, and its simplistic design, combined with Dell’s security enhancements might attract a lot of customers. Especially since you can now find the laptop equipped with Tiger Lake-U processors.
In terms of display options, it is a bit disappointing that Dell still offers a 768p TN panel as a default. It is strongly advisable that you stay away from it, and go for the IPS variant. We got the non-touch option, and it is a pretty budget-friendly offering, as you will see later on.
