This machine was introduced to me as of November 2020, but didn’t replace my Dell Latitude E6440 as my primary machine until after it received a storage and memory upgrade. The key winning features of this machine is the size, battery life, nice screen and a built in smart card reader. Where this machine loses, is a lack of built-in SD or Micro SD card reader. Having to carry around a kind of “dongle” for that is less than stellar but there isn’t much I can do about that.
