Verdict and Conclusion
The overall performance of the Dell Latitude E7370 Ultrabook is pretty decent, but lower than that of the E7270. However, having said that, I think the performance is more than OK for me. You have to remember, the E7370 is really designed and aimed at the business user who travels a lot, and thus require a light-weight laptop that needs to have a long battery life. That’s why it uses Intel’s latest generation of Core M5 (Skylake – 14nm) processor running at super energy efficient 1.1GHz. According to Dell, the E7370 can last up to 10 hours of continuous use! In our tests, we actually got around 6-7 hours usage, which is pretty good from a 4-cell 45W li-ion (4,300 mAh) battery. It’s good enough.
Although the CPU and graphics department is a little below par compared to a Core i5 processor, the speed of the onboard 8GB DDR3-1600MHz ram and 256Gb SSD storage (PCI Express) more than make up for it.
When it comes to size and weight … Dell is most certainly right to say it’s the world’s smallest 13-inch business-class laptop. The Latitude E7370 Ultrabook is just as slim as their very own XPS13, measuring only … Height: 14.32 mm (0.56″) x Width: 304.8 mm (12″) x Depth: 210.5 mm (8.3″), and weighing it at only 1.12 kg (2.47 lbs).

The large 13.3″ FHD (1920 x 1080), Non-Touch Infinity Anti Glare (16:9) WLED screen is a pleasure to use. The colors are crisp and the brightness is just right. If this isn’t enough, you can also get the same model with the option of a 13.3″ QHD+ (3200 x 1800) Touch Infinity Anti Glare ETE with Corning® Gorilla® Glass.
With a starting cost of around USD $1,299 upwards for the Core M5 model, the Dell Latitude E7370 Ultrabook is pretty expensive. Yes, it is a very attractive and slim ultrabook, and there is no doubt in my mind that it’s perfect for the business user … but not so for the average consumer (general public).

Final words:
I can truly say … Well done to Dell for offering a wide range and selection of ultrabooks, more than any other manufacturer that I know of. We now have the XPS13 series, the Latitude 12 – 7000 series, and now the New Latitude 13 – 7000 series. Each model is as good as the next.

Powered by a super energy efficient Core M5 process, you get really good battery life of around 6-7 hours usage, which I think is more than enough.

Additionally, you also get features such as a fingerprint reader, cellular SIM card slot, Smart Card reader, as well as a NFC card reader.
