Dell Latitude 12 Rugged Extreme (7204) BUYING GUIDE

[@retrog8398]

Another excellent video on this unique laptop/tablet ctuan13. As an owner of the 7214 model, I agree that what you've outlined in your video applies to both the 7204 and 7214 models of the Rugged Extreme convertibles. As you did in your other videos, it's good that you've pointed out some of the flaws as well, such as the port seal durability. But overall this is a terrific product. Your checklist for what to look for is spot on, and if one does their research, a well-equipped unit can be found for an excellent price.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video! I agree with you totally. Honestly, the amount you can save on one of these units online, is insane. Considering the list price of one of these machines, finding one on ebay for more than 60-70% off is just amazing. But yes, although it has its flaws, when it comes to rugged laptops, Dell truly is at the forefront right now and I say this with no brand loyalty, they just have produced a great product. If they would just make a few improvements, it would take this great product, to near perfection as far as rugged machines go.

That huge savings, when buying one from a recycler, is what makes this a worthwhile purchase for us mere mortals! For those who find a nice one used, or new/open box, I recommend comparing what it would cost buying it directly from Dell, that should be quite an eye-opener.

Great advice, thanks.

By chance do you no where I can find the hard drive caddy for the 7214 ?
