Dell's latest addition to its Latitude portfolio is a 2-in-1 tablet that doubles as a laptop with the addition of the optional detachable collaboration keyboard.
Available in River Blue, the Latitude 7350 Detachable features a 13.3-inch IPS LCD display (2880 x 1920) and is powered by the Intel Core Ultra U7-164U vPro processor (also available with the Ultra U5-134U).
The 7350 Detachable includes an 8MP front and rear camera, a 46.5Wh battery, support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, and comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports and an audio jack.
Name confusion
Interestingly, the device is designed to be repairable, and technicians can remove and replace the screens and batteries, although these parts are not user-replaceable. The tablet also has removable PCIe NVMe storage via an M.2 2230 slot, which will limit options for using third-party SSDs.
It's the Intel Core Ultra U7-164U vPro processor that's probably one of the most interesting things about the 2-in-1. This new CPU from Intel's Meteor Lake line caught attention due to its naming scheme. The Core Ultra designation, previously thought to represent high-performance models, is now apparently also used for low-power 9W and 15W U-series chips.
The confusion deepens with the numbering of these models. For example, the Core Ultra 7 164U is a 9W part, while the Core Ultra 7 155U is a 15W CPU.
This 9W CPU is a 12-core, 14-thread model that features a maximum turbo frequency of 4.8 GHz. It features 2 performance cores, 8 efficient cores, and 2 low-power efficient cores, each with its own maximum turbo frequency and base frequency.
The processor also comes with 12 MB of Smart Cache and supports a maximum turbo power of 30W. It is equipped with an Intel AI Boost NPU with a maximum frequency of 1.4 GHz, which supports various types of AI data and software frameworks.
The Dell Latitude 7350 Detachable will go on sale sometime in the second quarter, but pricing has not yet been revealed.
