Thank you for the well written and detailed review. :-) The SSD pictured however, is in fact 2230 size and not 2245 as stated in the article.

Schade,
ohne den Nippel gibt's nur noch Lenovo.
Wird Zeit die guten alten 7450 bei uns langsam mal zu ersten.

They've been removing uncomfortable comments here for a long time, but I'll say it again - the 74xx line has always started at about $900 and never higher. The scale of prices is changing due to the printing of base fiat currencies, but the price of this product is overpriced by at least 500$-600$ and there is nothing to justify this price now in 2023. Maybe in 2025 if there is a full hyperinflation in the dollar and etc., but not now ..

Oh, endlich wieder ein "ZEN 4 Phoenix" Spamkommentar! Hatten wir ja hier schon lange nicht mehr. /s

Yeah, we should be so lucky. But less than a decade ago, you've paid less than half for a high-end graphics card (or a graphics card in general), so I don't expect a Latitude 7000 for less than 1500$ anyway. I mean, look at reviews on here an on other pages, where decent (higher-end) smartphones for 700-800$ and usable laptops for 1000-1500$ are somehow considered "budget". And looking at laptop prices, 1000-1500$ is really nothing if you want a laptop with a modern non-Celeron CPU, a not garbage screen and a good build quality.

I guess you were too lazy to look up the prices, but the lowest config for the Latitude 7440 clamshell (Core i5-1335U, 16GB LPDDR5 4800, 256GB SSD, no vPro, cheapest screen) is starting at 1,783.81€ in Germany on the Dell website itself. The entire Latitude lineup starts at a grand if you want to fall down to the 3000 series, but the 7000 and 9000 have always been very expensive. So your "starts at 1000$" has never meant the 7000 lineup in question, but rather the entire Latitude lineup. In which case you may also complain about an Inspiron for above 700$ since there's significantly cheaper Inspirons as well.

A portable system unit would be nice, with 32GB of a well-optimized (very bad for 4800 in subject) LPDDR5 5200.

Where the authors of NB get such wild prices, I don't know, but this line usually starts at $1000 in the minimum config and I doubt that in retail, someone from buyers will agree to pay 1900 for this in 2023. For 1900 I want to see 64GB / 4TB SSD, out of the box, with a 3 year warranty. Otherwise, there is simply nothing to pay for. Wishing on a small 14 "screen DCI-P3 100%, etc., in general, is pointless - it is impossible to work on it a priori, especially with a keyboard without a numpad. Cleanly surf on the road and quickly connect it to a large monitor and a normal keyboard with a mouse...
