I'm looking at buying one of these right now (2021) for quickbooks, and basic office software, do you think it still holds up? With an i5-4310U 2.0GHz and 16gb I'm mostly concerned about the GHz of the cpu

Sad to hear they route the 3G antenna through the carry handle and it’s a crappy fixation to the laptop chassis. It’s supposed to be rugged.

That's a good review thank You, Currently i'm a "tough book" man for field operations in radio communication but i need something with hdmi that i can easy hook up to large tv screen for briefing (right now im using for that a regular notebook). That's stopping me from going to Toughbook because i can't find anything tough (the newer looks more like tablet), hdmi and in acceptable price range . From Your reviews looks like that Dell is good fit into my scenario including docking station. The only thing stopping me from ordering is that i'm working on Linux, and there is lack of any information about support. Could You tell us how does it work on for example Ubuntu? Maybe You could record video booting up Ubuntu from USB drive and telling us does touch screen work, wifi networking? Thank You regards

ctuan13 okay awesome! My Caterpillar S60 remains my favorite phone, even after paying outright, (leasing a phone is so dumb imho) but man the lowest brightness is like Samsung/apple on half brightness....that being said it gets a smidge brighter than iPhone/Samsung/LG g4 (one of my old droids, which was by far one of my favorites next to the g flex 2..

Hmmm interesting yeah that's odd. You definitely shouldn't need to downgrade to windows 8.1, it should work just fine on Windows 10. I'm assuming you've checked all the drivers are installed on device manager and settings for tablet are enabled?

I got a better idea I'm cleaning this particular laptop, instead of using tap water as tap water has minerals in it, could cause some corrosion. But if you take regular rubbing alcohol like 97 proof and pour that on it and use that, rubbing alcohol is actually non-conductive. It even evaporates after being applied. You can take a toothbrush and rub it over all the keys and everything while you had the alcohol on it. It would actually be safer for the device and it does wonders on the screen as well. I've been working on computers for 20 plus years, and have hundreds myself. Rubbing alcohol is the same thing that technicians like I use to clean, motherboards etc. Plus there's a benefit to using rubbing alcohol. It's sanitizes it as well.

One question. Can't it use some screen protection on it or will it not work
@ctuan13
@ctuan13 5 жыл бұрын
There are some screen protectors out there, but I’ve never personally tried one. The touch screen is based on resistive touch technology though, so there could be a slight increase in the pressure required to register a touch, but if it’s a thin protector, probably won’t be an issue. The disadvantage probably will be increased glare, unless you can find a matte protector.

Great suggestion man, but I'm not as interested as a tablet 2-in-1. I prefer a laptop that can also be a tablet, not a tablet that can kinda be a laptop.

I really appreciate your review ctuan13, I am on the fence between the this and the panasonic cf-33. I looked at the dell rugged tablet, but I hate that keyboard is like a MS surface as I want a keyboard. With all that said, how easy it is to convert your laptop to a tablet? How is the stylus on your laptop?

The dell rugged tablet keyboard cover is actually far different than the Microsoft Surface keyboard. It is essentially the same keyboard as is found on the model 7204 convertible laptop that I own. It's got great travel, and tactile feel and is way better than a Surface keyboard. The stylus is just a passive stylus and the screen is 5-point resistive multi-touch. As far as converting from laptop to tablet, it is a simple flip of the hinge. Check out my full review of it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZO5la1sm9h7qbM

Dealing with Dell's consumer support especially with one of there business class products is terrible. I found that online chat for business products only gets results. Its just a bit janky because that support is supposed to only be for gov't or industry use but it wayyy better than there consumer support.
