Dell Latitude was a line of laptop computers manufactured and sold by American company Dell. It was a business-oriented line, aimed at corporate enterprises, healthcare, government, and education markets, sitting alongside Inspiron and XPS for consumers, and Vostro for smaller businesses.
The Latitude line directly competed with Acer's TravelMate, Asus's ExpertBook, HP's EliteBook, Lenovo's ThinkPad and Toshiba's Portégé. The "Rugged (Extreme)", "XFR" and "ATG" models compete primarily with Panasonic's Toughbook line of "rugged" laptops.
In January 2025 Dell announced a major restructuring that saw the demise of the Latitude brand, along with others. Latitude was succeeded by Dell Pro.
Overview and product type
Dell in 1993 discontinued its unsuccessful existing laptop computers. After hiring John Medica, who had led development of the very successful Apple PowerBooks, the company introduced the first Latitude portables in 1994.
The Dell Latitude series have dropped the initial alphabet in newer model types (as in Latitude 7480 whose predecessor was E7470), and became the successor to the popular Latitude E, D, C, and X series. The Latitudes from the early 1990s up until the C*00 lines weren't in a set "series", instead of going under the models CP and XP with modifiers at the end, e.g.: XPi, CP M233.
In the past, the high-end line was the 6 series, being the C6x0, D6x0, and E64x0 lines, but as of 2015 this line has been discontinued and replaced by both the 5 series and the 7 series. The 15" "Premium" line was the 8 series, until the E-series merged this line with the 6 series (Model numbers being along the lines of C8x0 or D8x0). The entry-level line was the 5 series, but as of 2015 the 5 series and 7 series Latitude laptops are the primary lines of Latitude laptops. The 3 series has replaced the 5 series as the budget line. Dell has also since dropped the E from the Latitude line (due to switching to a USB C/Thunderbolt dock system, rather than the e-Port analog pin-system docks), and the models are delineated by number now, e.g.: Latitude 5480, 5570. The second number in the model (as in, 5470 or 7280) indicates the size of the screen on the laptop.
The latest Dell Latitude lineup is as follows:
Latitude 3xxx series. Budget models intended for education and small businesses, available in 13.3"/14"/15.6" trims. Latitude 5xxx series. Mainstream line. Replaces the 6000 series and shares same chassis with Mobile workstation models. available in 11.1"/12.5"/13.3"/14"/15.6" trims. Latitude 7xxx series. "Premium" Ultrabooks, available in /13.3"/14"/16" trims. Latitude 9xxx series. "Ultra-premium" laptops and 2-in-1s. Available with 14- and 15-inch displays and are the first laptops featuring 5G WWAN
Latitude computers are also differentiated in their feature sets, due to their business focus. For example, they often include security features such as smartcard and contactless smartcard, and TPM security, vPro and AMD DASH management, DisplayPort (as opposed to HDMI), Docking stations and support for legacy standards are all results of the requirements of the business market.
Some models also have the capability of Latitude ON which can be selected during the configuration of the laptop. Latitude ON is essentially a system within a system. It requires a separate add on module which contains its own microprocessor and operating system. This allows the laptop to function in the realm of a netbook.

Dell used the "E-series" name up through the 2016 models, and new 2017 models drop the "E." and Dell E-Port Replicator with it. Latitude computers are available in four series: the 3000, 5000, 7000, and 9000. The 3000 series is designed to be entry-level aimed at the education market and small businesses, This series did not exist prior to Haswell (xx40) as the Vostro Series was consolidated into the Latitude lineup to form the 3000 series. The 5000 series is mid-range. It includes a high-performance subseries whose model designations end in 1. These devices are available with higher-TDP (45w) processors, discrete graphics and NVMe SSDs. The 6000 series sat above the 5000 series. The 7000 series consists of high-end Ultrabook computers, introduced in 2014 with the Latitude E7440 and E7240 and replaced the existing high end 6000 series. The 9000 series was introduced in 2020 as an even more higher-end than the 7000 series. Mobile workstation versions of Latitude used 5000 series instead of 6000 series.
Aside from the 3000, 5000, 7000, and 9000 series, Dell also provides an Education and Rugged Series of Latitude computers. The Education series laptops are designed for use in educational institutions and are geared towards office and internet based applications. The Rugged series laptops are similar to the previous Latitude XFR computers. They are designed with extra durability in mind.
