Overview

Dell Latitude XT

Editors rating
Rating: 7.6
Verdict

This is a handsome and very usable Tablet PC, thanks to its excellent screen and keyboard. Battery life and performance are both a little disappointing, though, and the price becomes steep as you add in the options.

Typical price

£ 1129
