Dell Latitude 16 7640 review – it’s literally quiet and fast
“Latitude’s first ever 16” model” – this is how the manufacturer labels the Dell Latitude 16 7640. It looks like the main focus here is the screen that comes with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The panel is taller so you’ll have more space for work or entertainment. It’s a business device but it has two huge front-firing speakers and that’s why you’ll not see a NumPad here.
The device relies on a 13th Gen Intel Raptor Lake U and P chips. You can choose among seven CPU options so you can bring the price down if you don’t need extra processor power and pick an i5 U-series chip (actually, even the base processor variant is potent enough for daily and office tasks). Or you can get a 28W P-series variant if you want to prioritize performance over battery life.
At least for now, there are two 1200p IPS display models. That’s okay but the absence of higher-resolution panels is a bit strange in this price class. On the bright side, the laptop brings functions that will ease your life at home or in the office such as Wi-Fi 6E, an optional WWAN slot, a battery-saving Mini-LED backlit keyboard, a Web camera with a privacy shutter, and a lot of security features.
