Overview

Dell Latitude E6500

Editors rating
Rating: 7.7
Verdict

The Latitude E6500 is an attractive 15.4in. notebook, not least because you can configure it to closely match your needs. The backlit keyboard is well executed, and we also like the auto-adjusting screen brightness.

Typical price

£ 1093
