enterprise features many companies rely on.


The Latitude 7200 2-in-1 has the same physical layout as the X1 Tablet and the
similar Latitude 5290 2-in-1 that went on sale last year. At the front is a 12.3-
inch display, and above it is a webcam complete with facial-recognition sensors
to allow you to log into your Windows 10 account without touching anything.
Around back, a built-in kickstand lets you prop up the tablet like an easel on
your desk. All of these features mimic the Surface Pro, and as a result all of
these tablets have similar dimensions. The Latitude 7200 2-in-1 tablet weighs
1.9 pounds and measures 0.37 by 11.5 by 8.2 inches (HWD) without a cover.

ho-hum when looking at a tablet. It’s noticeably grainier than either the
2,736-by-1,824-pixel Surface Pro 6 or the 3,000-by-2,000-pixel native
resolution of the X1 Tablet.
