Dell Latitude 7290
Score: 72/100
HP Rose Gold Ultrabook
Score: 66/100Rankings
The Latitude 7290 is a compact 12.5-inch business ultrabook built with a lightweight magnesium-alloy chassis, offering solid performance, extensive connectivity, and strong security features. It excels in portability and battery life but is hampered by a low-resolution TN panel.
The HP Rose Gold Ultrabook offers a stylish, lightweight chassis, long battery life and bundled Office 365, but its low-resolution screen, modest Celeron CPU and limited internal storage keep it in the budget-productivity segment.
