Pros
- Big screen for a convertible PC
- Awesome battery life
Cons
- Pricey
- Weighs a lot
Bottom Line
Dell's Latitude XT3 isn't for the average consumer--it's pricey, heavy, and a poor choice for games. But with otherwise solid performance, a large touchscreen, and great battery life, it gets the job done.
