Dell Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme tablet review

Dell’s Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablet brings high-performance computing to just about anywhere, thanks to its durable yet lightweight design. This tablet features a 12-inch touch screen, 12th gen Intel Core processors, and, of course, built-in 4G/ 5G mobile broadband. It has lots of options you won’t find in a non-rugged system, including expansion ports, a secondary   Dell tablet battery , a carry handle, GPS antennas, and a plethora of accessories.The Latitude 7230 tablet uses Intel Core U -class chips with a 10-watt base power, which is normal for this class of device. With up to 32GB of RAM and an NVMe SSD, this tablet could replace a laptop for everyday performance needs.


The full specifications of the Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablet are as follows:

Dell says this tablet can operate in temperatures from -20 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit and drop-tests it from four feet. It has an IP-65 rating, which means it’s impervious to dust and resists low-pressure water sprays. (It can’t be submerged, though.)

With that kind of protection, it’s no surprise the Latitude 7230 feels almost bulletproof. What is a surprise is that it isn’t too heavy, starting at 2.8 pounds. It’s on the chunky side, at 7.99 x 11.65 x 0.94 inches (DWH) , but that’s to be expected. Microsoft’s consumer-grade Surface Pro 9, which isn’t rugged at all, is 8.2 x 11.3 x 0.37 inches and 1.94 pounds.


Dell Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablet pen
All Latitude 7230s include a 12-inch 16:10 touch screen with a 1920×1200 resolution and an amazing 1200-nit brightness, allowing it to be viewed in direct sunlight. The screen surface is also highly durable, constructed of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 material. The touch technology is resistive, not capacitive, so it works with gloves. Dell offers two pen options, one passive and another active. Our unit has the passive pen, which fits inside the side of the tablet with a nice tether so it doesn’t get lost.


The Latitude’s accessory ecosystem is impressive; Dell offers a flexible handle, a magnetic mount, a mobile stand, and a mobile battery charger. The latter highlights that this tablet has a dual removable battery design, which is almost nonexistent in consumer tablets. Our unit has the rigid handle.
Dell Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablet battery
The hot-swap battery setup is unique but also makes sense when you think of the target audience of this system. You can have situations in healthcare and other areas where these can be deployed in use, but you don’t want to power it down for a battery change. Plugging it in doesn’t solve all problems either.


To that end, the batteries can be hot-swapped in the twin bays without any impact to uptime. Our unit included two batteries with a capacity of 35.6Wh each. This gives the tablet a 71.2Wh capacity in total, which is fairly significant. By comparison, the 16″ Dell Latitude 7640 has a top-end battery offering of only 57Wh. With low-power components, this puts the battery life into the realm of all-day or multi-day capabilities.
Dell Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablet ports


Right-side features include a stylus slot, a Wedge lock slot, and ports behind dust covers. The leftmost bay is configurable; ours has a USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, but HDMI 2.0 is available. The other port is another USB- A 3.2 Gen 1. There’s also a headset (headphone/microphone) jack.

There are two Thunderbolt 4 ports behind the dust cover on the left edge.

The top of our tablet has the optional Ethernet port; options include Fischer USB 3.2, mini-Serial RJ-232, a 1D/2D barcode scanner, or nothing (blank).
Dell Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablet SSD Port
The back cover has a removable panel to allow SSD upgrades. Dell also offers a non-removable cover that doesn’t allow SSD access as a security feature. Our model also has the optional fingerprint reader and contact SmartCard reader. A contactless SmartCard reader is optional.


The Latitude 7230 has a standard Intel AX211 wireless card providing Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth. Mobile broadband, as noted, is available in 4G/5G. It also has built-in GPS via a u-blox NEO-M9N card.


Dell Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablet PerformanceWe’re testing the Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablet configured as follows:
Intel Core i5-1240U processor (10 cores)Intel Iris Xe integrated graphicsWindows 11 Pro16GB LPDDR5-5200 RAMFive 12GB NVMe SSD3-year warranty
This mid-tier configuration retailed for $3,393.91 during our review period. It’s a step up from the base model, which has a six-core Core i3-1210U processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. The RAM isn’t upgradeable, so you’ll need to order it as you want from the get-go. (Getting 16GB for comfortable everyday performance is highly recommended.)


We don’t test too many tablets, so we’re using the Dell Latitude 9330 2-in-1 convertible laptop as a comparable. It has a slightly higher-clocked Core i7-1260U processor, Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.


SPEC workstation 3SPECworkstation3 specializes in benchmarks designed for testing all key aspects of workstation performance; it uses over 30 workloads to test CPU, graphics, I/O, and memory bandwidth. The workloads fall into broader categories such as Media and Entertainment, Financial Services, Product Development , Energy, Life Sciences, and General Operations. We are going to list the broad-category results for each, as opposed to the individual workloads. The results are an average of all the individual workloads in each category.


This wouldn’t be a normal workload for a rugged tablet, but the Latitude 7230 completed the test to its credit and easily beat the Latitude 9330; a better cooling system and/or higher power thresholds may be the reason.

Dell announces the Venue 10 7000, the company’s new 10.5-inch Android tablet

Dell has just announced its newest Android-powered tablet, the Venue 10 7000. This 10.5-inch tablet is aimed at business customers and runs Android 5.0 Lollipop with Android for Work.It wasn’t too long ago that our own Taylor Martin reviewed the sleek Dell Venue 8 7000 tablet, and it seems as though the company has already released it’s followup device.

Dubbed the Dell Venue 10 7000, this new Android-powered tablet features similar specifications and build to the Venue 8 7000, but with a few interesting additions.


GivFor starters, the Venue 10 7000 is mostly the same when it comes to specifications. Like it’s younger sibling, the new device is powered by an Intel Atom Z3580 processor, 2GB of RAM and also has an 8MP rear-facing camera complete with Dell’s RealSense 3D technology. It has a big 10.5-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600. Thanks to that bigger screen, there’s more room to fit the giant 7000mAh battery. The tablet measures just 6.2mm thin, just .1mm thicker than the Venue 8 7000.It’s easy to see the main difference between these two siblings is the chassis.

While both tablets are extremely thin, the Venue 10 7000 sports a bulky cylinder on one of the long edges. That’s there so the tablet can connect with an optional keyboard, which Dell is selling for a hefty premium.

The keyboard is backlit and runs off of the tablet’s battery, but Dell quotes the device for lasting up to seven hours on a single charge. The Venue 10 7000 is aimed at enterprise customers, as the tablet runs Android 5.0 Lollipop and Android for Work.The tablet will launch in May in the United States, Canada and China for $499.00. If you’d like to tack on a keyboard to your order, you’ll have to pay $629.00. If you’re interested, be sure to check out our full review of its younger sibling, the Dell Venue 8 7000.

Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable review: An excellent business tablet PC

Dell’s Latitude 7320 Detachable is priced for business budgets, but it’s an excellent tablet PC for either work or play.Dell’s Latitude 7320 Detachable rivals what some may call the definitive Windows tablet, the Microsoft Surface Pro 7+. The Latitude 7320 may be a little more expensive, but it also boasts Thunderbolt connectivity, a one-two punch of biometric security options, and a suite of genuinely useful utilities.
Unfortunately, the Latitude 7320 is not immune to the “lapability” issues we’ve experienced with other 2-in-1 detachable PCs. But that’s the only major flaw we found. Otherwise, the Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable rises to the level of a premier business tablet PC, earning our Editor’s Choice award.

This review is part of our ongoing roundup of the best laptops. Go there for information on competing products and how we tested them.

The latest Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ forces you to buy the essential Signature Type Cover keyboard and Surface Pen separately. Another rival, the Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 1, charges extra for the pen. Through a miscommunication, Dell informed us that while the company provided us with a pen and a tablet for our review, the Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable Travel KeyboardRemove non-product link with an included pen costs an additional $199.99. The Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable Active Pen also sells separately, for $69.99.


Latitude 7320 DesignOut of the box, one fundamental experience with the keyboard concerned me. Though I was able to attach the keyboard easily to the tablet via a magnetized connection, the secondary magnets were a lot weaker than I expected. 
Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable Flawed Hinge 2The Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable has a pen cubby that’s convenient, but its location impacts the strength of the secondary hinge—making the keyboard a bit less stable when connected.


Like rival tablets, Dell’s Latitude 7320 keyboard magnetically attaches itself to the tablet via a thin line of electrical contacts. Two tiny plastic pegs that additional clip the keyboard and tablet together offer stability. The keyboard also folds toward the tablet with a secondary hinge, elevating the keyboard at a slight angle. It’s this second hinge that fails to secure the keyboard. That’s fine for working on a flat surface, but on your lap, any rocking motion or sudden movement will likely plunge the tablet like a fat, flat lemming, over your knees to its doom.
Though lightweight, the Latitude 7320 feels structurally sound. Like rival tablets, it includes a small kickstand that supports the tablet at any angle from vertical to just a few degrees off horizontal.

Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable right sideThe right side of the Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable includes a Thunderbolt 4 port.
Our review unit offered a very bright display (500-nit maximum brightness), which can be used in the shade of a tree or in a sunny room. The matte screen neatly balanced light output without much glare. 


The display is also a key differentiator between the Latitude 7320 and Microsoft’s Surface Pro 7+. Dell’s Latitude 7320 Detachable weights the same as the Surface Pro 7+, but it’s an inch longer on the diagonal. However, the Latitude’s 1920×1280 display is also lower-resolution than the 2736×1824 display the Surface Pro 7+ provides.The Latitude 7320 Detachable connects to printers, displays, and other peripherals via a pair of Thunderbolt 4-enabled USB-C ports, one on either side of the display. You’ll likely want to invest in either an inexpensive USB-C hub or a pricier Thunderbolt dock, however, for greatest versatility.


Because this is a tablet designed for the workplace, a number of security solutions are available. Both the Core i5-1140G7 and the Core i7-1180G7 CPU options are vPro-capable. The tablet also includes NFC capabilities and an optional SmartCard reader. 

Typing and pen experienceThe Latitude 7320 is a business tablet designed for prolonged use. Its excellent keyboard offers large, spacious keys that are quite comfortable to type upon, with two levels of backlighting. The Precision touchpad is a bit on the small side, though slick and clickable all the way to the top. Aside from the weak magnetic connection, the Latitude 7320 Detachable’s keyboard is one of the best tablet keyboards I’ve used. 

The Latitude 7320 Detachable’s Active Pen is also intriguing for a number of reasons. First, the pen itself appears to have just a single long button, but it doesn’t; there’s a top button and a bottom button, but they’re all a single blob of plastic that rocks back and forth. The top button serves an alternate right-click mouse option, but the bottom button is completely inoperable until the user downloads the Active Pen control panel. This also unlocks the ability of the pen to “hover ” over the screen and still interact with it, as well as a radial menu where the pen can be used to control volume settings and audio track controls. Finally, the pen uses a capacitive charging system which fully charges the pen in under 30 seconds, after which its small white LED turns off.

While there’s still a bit of ink lag, my only real complaint with the Active Pen is that it’s flattish and smooth, which meant that it slipped through my fingers more than I would like.

Sound, webcam, and appsThe Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable uses something called Intel Smart Sound Technology for MIPI SoundWire audio, rather than the more common audio-enhancement algorithms. The result, however, sounds more than presentable, with a well-mixed blend of midrange to high-end audio from the speakers mounted behind the tablet’s surface. Unsurprisingly for a tablet, the low-end bass is a half-hearted effort. The overall volume could be a touch louder, too. Really, though, the Latitude’s audio is about as good as you can expect to get from a tablet PC.


The Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable’s webcam has one big thing going for it: the user-facing webcam offers 1080p/30Hz resolution, on a par with the small number of standalone 1080p webcams that offer Windows Hello biometric login capabilities. (720p remains the most common webcam resolution.) Otherwise, the webcam doesn’t offer anything special in terms of its white balance or color accuracy. There’s no physical camera shutter, nor is there a button to disable the webcam on the keyboard. Though some persist in taking photos with Apple iPads and other tablets, the rear camera is probably best used to snap shots of documents and import them into Word or other productivity tools.

Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable pcmark 10As a business notebook, the Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable starts off strong, as the leader in overall application performance.
It’s a strong start for the Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable. It leads the pack in PCMark 10, well ahead of the Surface Pro 7+ and all other comers.

The older PCMark 8 Creative test offers greater compatibility with older notebooks, as well as the HP Elite Folio. Here, the Latitude 7320 splits the difference, falling a little behind the Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable but remaining extremely competitive with the Surface Pro 7+.


Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable pcmark 8 creative fixedIn this test, the Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable falls slightly.
We use the Cinebench R15 benchmark as a measure of general CPU performanceThe tablet is asked to render a 3D scene, which it can do under “turbo” or burst conditions. As you might expect from a high-end 11th-gen Core chip, it performs quite well, though we’d expect performance would be slightly less than a full-fledged notebook PC (see the Surface Laptop 4 way ahead of the others). 
Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable cinebench r15Dell’s Latitude 7320 Detachable largely keeps up with Microsoft’s Surface Pro 7+ in this general CPU test.


We also compared the performance of the Dell Latitude 7320 while running the Cinebench R23 benchmark, which offers you the option to compute a score for a single benchmark run, but also generates an average score over a prolonged, looped test that lasts for ten minutes. If the two scores are comparable, then we can conclude that the tablet doesn’t thermally throttle itself over prolonged loads. That’s not the case here, unfortunately, as performance dropped by 12 percent over the prolonged test.
