DELL LATITUDE 5280

Dell Latitude 5280 (7200U, HD) Laptop Review

Small and strong. Dell has created a significantly lighter chassis now that the aging E-Port is becoming a thing of the past. The lack of Thunderbolt 3, however, severely limits the docking capabilities of this latest Latitude redesign.

Like Lenovo, Dell has been slowly moving away from proprietary docking ports to universal USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 3 solutions on the latest Latitude series of business notebooks. This will inevitably alienate some existing users who have grown accustomed to specialized docks that connect to the bottom of the notebook, but the gains in portability and design from the move are hard to overlook.
The latest 12.5-inch Latitude 5280 notebook is an overhaul of the existing E5270 with notable improvements in both size and weight while sacrificing as few features as possible. The lowest-end SKU currently retails for $850 and ships with the i3-7100U, 500 GB HDD, 4 GB of RAM, and 768p display while the highest-end SKU ships with the i7-7600U CPU, M.2 NVMe SSD, 16 GB of RAM, Smart Card and fingerprint readers, and 1080p touchscreen display for well north of $1600 USD. Though we'll likely revisit the Latitude 5280 with a higher-end SKU in the future, our test unit today is on the lower-end of the spectrum with an i5-7200U CPU and 768p display retailing for about $950 USD.

GREATEST LAPTOP EVER ?? MSI GT75VR 7RF Titan Pro (i7-7820HK, GTX 1080)

RGB trip.  Although ultra-slim casings are the current trend, MSI presents the GT75VR, a bulky gaming laptop that combines all the advantages and disadvantages of a desktop replacement and relies on a mechanical keyboard with colorful lighting. Our test clarifies whether the total concept is still up-to-date. For the original German review, see  here . Buyers looking for a high-performance premium laptop will end up with MSI products sooner or later. While the GS line-up’s slim chassis is designed for mobile users and the GE lineup is aimed at price-conscious players, the GT laptops are made for the Core gaming community with a stationary playground that is out for pure performance. MSI's  GT73VR  that has been the 17-inch leader so far (Notebookcheck rating: 87%), is now replaced by the GT75VR that is tuned in many aspects. The online shop Notebooksbilliger.de that kindly provided us with a review sample currently has the 17-inch scion in...

Corsair Vengeance K95 Gaming Keyboard

BY azrou achraf Corsair is back with a Vengeance, and I couldn't be happier. The Corsair Vengeance K95 ($149.99) replaces the  Corsair Vengeance K90  as the company's premier gaming  keyboard , and the mechanical keyboard keeps nearly everything I loved about the original and steps it up a notch with several welcome improvements, like programmable per-key backlighting, and a black-on-black color scheme that adds a killer look to an already excellent design. Design and Features The Vengeance K95 $161.42 at Amazon  features what may be the best keyboard design I've seen, with a machined aluminum base covered in keys that appear to hover over the black anodized aluminum deck. It's visually striking, but it also makes for completely unencumbered access to all of the keys and easier cleaning of dust and crumbs that would be lost inside a keyboard with the more common recessed keys. Attached to the front of the keyboard is a separate wrist rest, which is covered in ...
