Great for business users on the go, the 12.5-inch Dell Latitude 12 5000—also known as the E5250—offers just enough performance to get work done in a portable package not much larger than a tablet.

All in all, Dell's Latitude E5250 scores very well. Many options that would make the device to a business machine are only available for a surcharge, though. Buyers with the necessary wherewithal can configure a great 12.5-inch laptop. Everyone with a clear price limit should take a look at the competition.
