Basics of Dell Latitude Series Laptops
Dell Latitude series is an American brand of laptop computers. It is a business-oriented product, targeted at corporations, healthcare, education, and government markets.

The 15″ premium line was originally the 8 series. But, the E series merged it with the 6 series. (Model numbers are C8x0/D8x0). The 5 series was the entry-level series. However, as of 2015, the primary Latitude laptops lines are the 5 series and 7 Series. As the budget model, the 5 series has been replaced with the 3 series.
