日本Dell Latitude 16 7640 review – it’s literally quiet and fast
Design and construction
The device looks sleek and modern with its minimal branding and rounded corners. The laptop is made of aluminum and it feels premium to the touch. However, the lid rigidness is average – you can flex it but not too much. The base sturdiness is okay if we don’t count the zone between the hinges and the area around the touchpad.
You can open the lid with a single hand. The dimensions of the laptop look good for a 16-incher – 1.835 kg and 19.5 mm thickness.
The bezels surrounding the panel are thin and this contributes to the overall modern look.
The Web camera has a privacy shutter. There are two options here with Temporal Noise Reduction – both with 1080p resolution but the higher tier version has IR functionality and an Ambient Light sensor.
The lid acts as a lever and it’ll lift the back of the laptop when the angle of opening gets past the 90-degree mark. This enhances the cooling capabilities of the laptop and it also leads to better ergonomics during typing.
Now, the optional Mini-LED backlit keyboard should be much more battery-friendly compared to a normal backlight, at least on paper. The board is comfortable for usage, the keycaps are big, and there is plenty of free space around them. The feedback is clicky and the key travel is long. The optional fingerprint reader is built into the Power button. Audiophiles should like the two huge speakers around the keyboard but because of that, the NumPad zone isn’t on board. The touchpad is big and accurate. However, the clicking mechanism needs some fine-tuning because pressing the pad feels kind of sluggish and clicks are loud.
Let’s flip the notebook upside down. This reveals the two long rubber feet, a large ventilation grille, and two speaker cutouts. The hot air is pushed through a long vent on the back. Part of the heat is reaching the display during heavy CPU stress.
Ports
On the left, there is an HDMI 2.0 connector followed by two Thunderbolt 4 ports (with power delivery and DisplayPort capabilities) and an optional Smart card reader. On the right, you get a lock slot, two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports (the former supports the PowerShare function), an Audio jack, and a NanoSIM slot (option).
