It’s clear where Dell is going with its Latitude 7410 Chromebook Enterprise. From the design to the price tag, this is a Chromebook with its sights on the corporate market, which is increasingly drawn to Chromebooks thanks to their easy management and comparatively low overall costs. It comes in straight clamshell and 2-in-1 variants with a range of specifications, running from a Core i3 model at just under 900 to a Core i7 version at over 1. 500, with three or four years of Dell ProSupport Plus on-site services bundled in. While the low-end models are just about affordable, the Latitude 7410 is very much a big business Chromebook, and if you’re buying for personal use or a smaller business, there are cheaper and better options out there. Nevertheless, Dell’s enterprise Chromebook has a great design, strong specs and an excellent screen, although it’s the management tools and bundled support that really make it worth your while.  READ NEXT:  Dell isn’t alone in the corporate Chromebook market.

The HP C360 is a little overpriced and suffers in comparison to the Latitude 7410 in some areas, while the Yoga’s specifications are now a little dated. Another possible alternative is Google’s superb , though it too is beginning to age. The Latitude 7410’s design is both attractive, practical and business-like, with a 14in display crammed into what’s effectively a 13.3in aluminium chassis that’s just 18.5mm thick and 1.35kg in weight. It feels absolutely rock solid it’s been built to withstand 17 MIL-STD 810G tests and there’s barely a hint of give in the lid or anywhere in the body. And while the hinge on our clamshell model won’t allow any fancy convertible tricks, it does raise the keyboard slightly when the screen is tilted back and will even push back flat against the desktop.
