Dell Latitude 12 E5250 Notebook Review

Nino Ricchizzi (translated by Liala Stieglitz), 01/11/2015

Little business partner. Following the positive rating of Dell's Latitude E5450 product line, we tested the 12.5-inch Latitude E5250. However, it did not completely fulfill the high expectations.

 

For the original German review, see here.

The Latitude 5000 lineup could be classified as business category laptops. In particular, the perfect balance of quality, performance, mobility, and priceconvinced in our tests of the 14-inch Dell Latitude E5450 and the 15.6-inch Dell Latitude E5550. Dell now introduces a small 12.5-inch device that also wants to meet these expectations. Mobile use is possible via a Qualcomm LTE module. An Intel Core i5-4310U alongside 8 of GB working memory and swift 256 GB SSD storage ensure power as well as a sound work speed. The consistent build and choice of materials are to maintain the quality standards of the bigger models. The Latitude E5250's price starts at 620 Euros (~$733). The version we tested adds up to around 1150 Euros (~$1361).

Seeing that especially small laptops are suitable for mobile business routine, the Latitude faces multiple contenders. We compared the review sample with some laptops from the competition in order to put the new E5250 product line's scores in relation. HP's EliteBook 725 G2 can be called a solid rival. Unlike Dell's laptop, HP's device exclusively features AMD components. The AMD A10 Pro-7350B processor with integrated AMD Radeon R6 is installed. However, only 4 GB of working memory and a slower 500 GB magnetic hard drive are found in the EliteBook. The price of HP's laptop is considerably lower than that of our review sample. Lenovo's ThinkPad lineup has always been considered a mainstay in the business sector and should not be omitted just for this reason. We added the Lenovo ThinkPad X240 to our round. Lenovo offers a speedy Intel i7-4600U, 8 GB of working memory, and 250 GB of storage for a steep 1850 Euros (~$2189). Asus' ASUSPRO Advanced BU201LA takes the first place in the total rating among our comparison devices. The business laptop costs just 800 Euros (~$946) but also sports weaker components than Dell's Latitude. An Intel Core i5-4210U, 4 GB of working memory, and a 500 GB storage device explain the price.

Case

Dell's Latitude lineup could be described as basic, elegant, and noble. Although the choice of materials is limited to plastic, the matte-black surface makes a rigidand high-quality impression. Unfortunately, the display lid is not a magnesium component like in the larger E5450. Like in other Dell product lines, it can be added to the order, though. The hinges are still covered by a metal cap. The feel of the 1.67 kg device is extremely pleasant and slip-proof. Though Dell's device is not a heavyweight, its contenders are lighter. Asus' laptop particularly stands out with 300 grams less weight.

The screw-fastened base tray has to be removed for maintenance or upgrades. Replacing the battery is thus not easy, but that was similar in the larger Latitudes.

Connectivity

The interface-positioning strategy in Dell's Latitude remains well-conceived also in the compact 12.5-inch model. Unvarying ports, such as a VGA socket, HDMI-out and power socket, are found on the rear. A USB port, DisplayPort, and SD-card reader have been placed in the back area of the right edge. This design ensures that impermanent connections do not impair the work space on the desk with interfering cables. A SmartCard reader serves as a security feature. It is quick to access on the front left.

Communication

Dell's Latitude E5250 allows wireless connections via both Wi-Fi and LTE network. Its throughput rate was ascertained in a test setup specified by the writer and determines average downloads. The Technicolor TC 7200 router (802.11 n; 300 Mbps gross) was located one story above the review sample. A cement wall and a wooden ceiling obstructed the direct line of 5 meters. The average is calculated after multiple test downloads. The Latitude achieved 8.9 Mbps. Dell's laptop achieved a rate of 10.5 Mbps when moving to the same story. A Qualcomm LTE 4G module is available for Internet on-the-move. The SIM-card slot is inside the laptop, and thus the device has to be first opened inconveniently.

The installed 720p webcam shoots smooth images in bright surroundings. Colors and brightness blur quite quickly, though. Delayed video recordings are noticed adversely, particularly in low light. The built-in microphones are compelling, owing to their noise suppression.

Security

Security should rank foremost especially in business devices. In addition to a fingerprint reader and Kensington lock, the aforementioned SmartCard readeris a protective feature. The latter can also be used via NFC. Software security solutions are found in the well-known DDP (Dell Data Protection) security tools, which can be added to the order. Furthermore, an FIPS-certified HCA (hard drive encryption), Dell ControlVault (secure bank for storing passwords and biometric print), and Computrace (theft protection) can be found in the configurator. Details about the single security standards can be found in the security column of our FAQ.

Accessories

Besides a few brochures, a recovery USB flash drive is included. Other accessories are made available during the order process; the port replicator will likely be the most interesting. Depending on the interface diversity, it costs around 180 Euros (~$212) or 220 Euros (~$260). Dell also offers a DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter for 25 Euros (~$29).

Maintenance

The entire base tray has to be removed for the occasional repairs. However, that is quite simple to do via the screws. The clips that cause the base tray to warp dangerously are somewhat disagreeable. All kinds of maintenance options are available after removal. The 2.5-inch hard drive and battery can then be taken out. One of the two working memory slots is filled. Cleaning the fan is also possible. We did not find a dedicated dust filter. It would even be possible to easily take out the Wi-Fi and 4G module without problems.

Warranty

Dell only includes a one-year warranty from date of purchase. Comprehensive protection for up to five years is optionally available. Further services can be selected besides this standard warranty. For example, a one-year accidental damage warranty (26 Euros, ~$30) that can be combined with theft protections (41.60 Euros, ~$49).

Input Devices

Keyboard

We highly praised the input devices of the E5450 lineup. Although there is no TrackPad, the most important characteristics of the keyboard and touchpad have been maintained. The keyboard still convinces with a long, soft drop. The black tile keys have enough grip and the ideal size for fast and long typing. The keyboard excels with a quiet stroke noise that will not disturb the office neighbor. All keys are firmly in place and have homogeneous pressure points.

Touchpad

The touchpad in the 12.5-inch model also proves to be a true mouse replacement. Performing multi-touch gestures is smooth. The corners remain to be problem zones. Otherwise, the input device convinces with its accuracy and sleekness. Two dedicated buttons have been incorporated below the touchpad. Like the keyboard, they feature a soft and homogeneously long drop.

Display

A TN screen with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels is to provide a good overview. The matte, 16:9 screen has an average brightness of 160.1 cd/m². We found that distracting particularly when working in bright surroundings. Asus' BU201LA provides a visibly better brightness with almost 400 cd/m². However, the Asus also sports a high-quality IPS screen despite its low price level. According to Dell, there is an optional Full HD screen with a brightness of 360 cd/m² available.

The relatively low contrast of 304:1 leads to a high black level of 0.586 cd/m². Thus, we cannot speak of a deep black. We would once again refer to Asus' laptop as a prime example for a good screen; its contrast of 921:1 is impressive.

The extreme shifts in the colors and grayscale, which are expressed in very high DeltaE rates, can be reduced considerably via an adapted ICC profile. A bluish cast would be visible without calibration.

Dell's laptop has not been made for professional use anyway. The coverage of the AdobeRGB space is 40% and that of the sRGB space is 57.5%.

Although the Latitude E5250 features a matte screen, its low brightness hardlymakes it outdoor suitable. It will only be possible to work with the device effectively in very shadowy places.

The installed TN screen can only provide very limited viewing-angle stability. Colors and brightness are visibly distorted when the screen is tilted and when looking from the sides. A 180-degree hinge is installed to counter this and makes use in almost every thinkable position possible.

Performance

It's all in the combination. Dell's Latitude E5250 is to particularly score with fast response times. An 8 GB working memory and a swift SSD should ensure that. A ULV CPU is installed for economic and, at the same time, efficient workflow. The review sample is generally very suitable especially for office and some multimedia applications. It is perfectly suitable for the business sector owing to a few security features. However, the 12.5-inch Latitude is not a bargain with a price of 1050 Euros (~$1242).

System information: Dell Latitude E5250

Processor

Dell uses a frugal Intel Core i5-4310U CPU. It has a base clock of 2 GHz and can clock up to 3 GHz via Turbo mode. Its general field of application is office and multimedia applications. Intel specifies a TDP of 15 W.

Cinebench R15 makes clear that the Intel Core i5-4310U can even keep up with the Intel Core i7-4600U installed in Lenovo's device. The ThinkPad only outruns all rivals in the single-core test. We did not determine throttling (base clock is undercut) in the Cinebench test.

Battery mode is also possible without performance losses. The same scores are achieved in Cinebench R15. Further details about the installed CPU solution and more benchmarks can be found here.
