It's been proven here that laptops with Core M/Y have worse battery life than those with same generation i3/i5/i7 ULV CPUs.

The Core-M cpu was absolutely fine. This model now has little to distinguish itself from the 12 or 14" models.

Most users are definitely not using the Core i5 or i7 to their full potential. But when they do even these processors throttle back their performances considerably. So to me the relative gains of excess energy consumption for marginal performance gain makes little sense. If you are doing anything serious then desktops are still better suited.

It seems to be a double priced zenbook with a smaller screen and poorer color reproduction.
Which Zenbook would that be exactly (with 12-inch body and a 13-inch screen)?

Can the USB-C port be used for charging? In other words, can you work with the Dell dock using just one cable, or do you need two (the other one being the power cable)?

@culot:

It is definitely a different feel from the 7480 keyboard, which has quite a bit more travel alone.  If anything, it may be the exact same part as the 7280, but the 7480 sure seems different!

"This is a different version from the (14-inch model) 7480 keyboard, which features longer key travel and a slightly higher actuation force. "

Do you measure that? From what I can tell from they are identical in every way except for the length of cabling.

@Armand:

x4 but at this point it is recommended to wait for 7490 which will be a major upgrade in years with the new quad-core ULV CPUs.

Is the Thunderbolt a true Thunderbolt or a half lane one like with the XPS 15. In other words can we use an external GPU with this laptop?

While I was writing this review, I was talking with a client about how I bet that's the next logical step for the Latitude 7000 lineup.

They need to make the successor to the 7480 the same as this laptop with the 14" screen. Even better if they manage a 15" screen without the numpad.

Thanks for the comments guys; appreciate your taking the time to read!

To answer Vanav's question regarding the use of CABC, I can't personally detect it on this machine.  It's unplugged, I've switched between black and white screens, and I see no luminosity difference, at least not at all subjectively.  It's very noticeable on the XPS 13 I have here, but not at all from what I can tell on the 7380.

OMG. This is the best looking laptop in my book

I imagine the zenbook wasn't included in the review because of how poor the dell would compare to it.

Does this Latitude 7380 FHD panel has always-on CABS (content adaptive brightness control) / DBS (dynamic backlight control) like Latitude 7370 FHD and XPS 13 FHD?

The sweet spot? Dell's revision of their 13.3-inch Latitude 7000 series introduces active cooling and brings the machine up to speed with its 12.5 and 14-inch counterparts. With a Core i7 CPU, 16 GB RAM, and a Samsung NVMe SSD, is this the business-grade XPS 13 we've been waiting for?
