Latitude is superior to the XPS line for business.

And man did they have a bad run of XPS’s there for a while with their batteries swelling up.

I worked in IT and those latitudes were no exception in my experience. Earlier models were good but we had to replace so many e7000 series batteries bulging out the bottom.

They should replace the XPS name with the Longitude. And then the Altitude.

Latitude 7490 had a string of bad batteries too. Our XPS units kept having things disconnect internally (even after a motherboard swap with warranty). The latitude 7420 onwards have been super solid!
