Dell Latitude 7450 2-in-1 Laptop Review: Versatile business convertible that delivers on most fronts

[Redaktion]

The Dell Latitude 7450 2-in-1 delivers good performance with its Intel Core Ultra 7 165U vPro processor while offering a solid set of features tailored for business professionals on the go. Dell even includes a robust array of tools to keep IT admins happy. However, improvements over its predecessor are incremental and its competitors, particularly the new Lenovo ThinkPad lineup, present equally compelling options as well.

I hope the person or people who designed this keyboard know(s) that someone in the world—me—absolutely loathes their awful keyboard. Everything from the shape and layout to the alignment and font are just terrible.

I can't use a laptop without touching the keyboard. Touching this keyboard everyday would annoy me. I would never buy an annoying laptop. Next!

unfortunately, the designer(s) of this keyboard don't give a flying monkey's (...) about what you think, or what I think, or what users think. Mostly, because their primary aim is not to design for comfort and ease of typing, but for low-cost and minimum space, so that laptops can be 'slim', slimmer, slimmer still, because it's no longer used as a mobile workhorse, but as an accessory.
Secondly, the sad (?) thing is that 99% of users don't type A LOT, the most they type is an e-mail response, and how long are those these days? So they don't suffer the pain as much, and they're young enough not to know what a proper laptop keyboard used to be like (e.g. lenovo in the past). And when they park their shiny-shiny, ultra-feather-weight lappie at their managerial desk, they would have it plugged into what used to belong to a laptop, and has become cleverly outsourced by laptop manufacturers - the 'ports' brick, aka 'docking station' (which laptop manufacturers sell for a tidy sum, eh). With a shiny-shiny monitor and a shiny-shiny, normal-sized keyboard, (...) laptop keyboard doesn't matter.
Actually, my better half LIKES dell keyboards, even though she does type more than an average office user these days. I don't get why, because it's just difficult to type on, and this 'difficult' is already universal across the board with all laptop keyboards, even my lenovo laptop keyboard is (...) and I hate it when I have to type on it while travelling, fortunately don't do much these days. But whenever I have to, I try to plug in an external, regular keyboard.
