The Core i5 processor runs at a maximum of 3.1GHz, so most office applications will open in a couple of seconds, and you can easily flip through and run several programs at once without a problem. It can be argued that the combination of the second-generation Intel Core i5-2520M dual-core processor and 4GB-1333MHz memory still makes the notebook very fast and capable of multi-tasking. The $1500 price may go down a lot over time, though – so it might be best to wait it out a little. The materials that went into its build fool-proof it for most mishaps that could happen while traveling or at the office. However, the reason the Dell Latitude e6320 is more expensive than most “standard” business notebooks in the market is because it has such a durable construction.
At the $1500+ price point, we would have liked to see a faster hard drive and a better screen resolution.
