DELL Latitude 7320 Detachable (2021)

The Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable is a high-quality 2-in-1 tablet. Its strengths include an impressive 13-inch display, snappy performance, a comfortable detachable keyboard with a dedicated stylus slot, a robust suite of useful security features, and class-leading webcam quality. All of these features come packed inside a sleek, highly portable metal chassis.

Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable Design

The Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable is a 13-inch slate of metal with an aluminum back and a built-in kickstand. As a result, it shares a similar look with category peers like the Surface Pro 8 and Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable. Beyond the design strengths borrowed from its competitors, the Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable brings fresh refinements that set it apart.

Those standout refinements include a fingerprint reader neatly positioned on the back of the device, in the upper-right corner. The tablet features fairly slim bezels that deliver an immersive visual experience. A feature I particularly like is the pen cradle located along the detachable keyboard. Using a mechanism similar to the Surface Pro X, the Latitude stylus rests neatly inside a slot behind the keyboard.

The Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable has a larger display than its competitors, yet it maintains a similar footprint. Measuring 11.4 x 8.2 x 0.3 inches and weighing 0.81 kg (1.18 kg with the keyboard attached), the tablet has overall dimensions comparable to the Lenovo X12 Detachable (11.2 x 8 x 0.3 inches, weighing 0.77 kg) and the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 (11.3 x 8.2 x 0.7 inches, weighing 0.891 kg).

Security and Durability

The Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable packs a wide array of security features. In addition to the rear fingerprint reader, it includes an IR webcam that lets you log in via facial recognition.

Another notable security feature is the lock slot at the bottom corner to prevent anyone from walking off with your tablet when unattended. Every configuration of the Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable comes equipped with a vPro chip, enabling remote device management. Hidden under the chassis is a TPM 2.0 chip that ensures all data traveling to and from the Latitude remains securely encrypted.

Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable Ports

The Latitude 7320 offers a port selection similar to the X12 Detachable, but splits them evenly across both sides, allowing you to charge the device from either side.

The right side features a centered Thunderbolt 4 port and a SIM slot. On the left side, you will find a second Thunderbolt 4 port and a security lock slot. Along the top is a 3.5 mm headphone jack flanked by the volume buttons.

Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable Display

The Latitude 7320 Detachable features a 13-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1280 pixels, an IPS panel, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. It offers a larger screen size than the Surface Pro 7 and ThinkPad X12. Covering 92.2% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, the Latitude 7320 display delivers more vibrant visuals than the ThinkPad X12 Detachable (75%) and Surface Pro 8 (76%). Its color reproduction is also more impressive than the premium laptop average (85%).

The screen also provides solid brightness, reaching a measured peak of 500 nits, which is brighter than both the Surface Pro 8 (450 nits) and the ThinkPad X12 Detachable (400 nits).

Detachable Keyboard and Touchpad

Taking cues from the Surface Pro line's Type Cover, the Latitude keyboard delivers satisfying key bounce, letting my fingers fly across the keys while typing this review. The keyboard is illuminated by white backlighting with two different brightness levels.

Unfortunately, the touchpad underneath does not offer quite as good an experience. While smooth and flat, its surface area is somewhat small, so users with larger fingers may find navigating multi-touch gestures a bit cramped.

Audio

The tablet features dual speakers on either side that get plenty loud and deliver reasonably good sound quality across various music genres.

Battery Life

The Latitude 7320 Detachable delivers respectable battery life. It lasted 9 hours and 18 minutes on our battery test, which involves continuous web browsing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of screen brightness.

The Dell laptop outlasted the Surface Pro 8 (9 hours and 6 minutes), but powered down several hours ahead of the ThinkPad X12 Detachable (11 hours and 1 minute).
