A year and a half ago I bought my mom a relatively cheap off-lease Dell Latitude E5440. Decent little machine: i5, 8GB, 7200RPM drive, came with the docking station. More than enough for her needs.

CES was just the start for Dell's Latitude business laptops. In January, we were surprised by the Latitude 7400 2-in-1, an enterprise-focused convertible that actually managed to look pretty slick.
