(2 Years Onside Warranty)

The Latitude 12 E7250 also exceeds its two siblings in terms of black value and
contrast, but is average compared to the other rivals. A black value of 0.53 cd/m2
is not bad, but you can clearly see the background illumination with dark contents
and the maximum luminance in particular. Thanks to the contrast of 697:1, colors
appear quite rich but still look a little like pastel.

We determine more exact measurements for the display with the software CalMAN and
the colorimeter. We cannot see a blue cast, which is a good result. However, blue
tones are not very accurate and they have the largest deviations from the reference
value. The deviation of the grayscale is generally very low. Calibration can improve
the results significantly, we can hardly see any grayscale deviations from the
reference color space sRGB. However, the accuracy of the display is not sufficient
for professional users.

The glossy panel is a problem outdoors, but thanks to the high luminance you can
at least see the screen content even in bright environments. We did not have any
problems with the display in the shade or indoors.

The IPS display ensures a picture without distortions even from very flat viewing
angles.

Performance

As well as the Intel Core i5-5600U processor of our review unit, you can also
select a higher-clocked Core i7-5600U. All processors are based on Intel's new
generation Broadwell with a 14 nm manufacturing process and there is also the
new integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500. Our review unit is equipped with the maximum
memory of 8 GB of RAM and an SSD with a capacity of 256 GB.

Processor

The Intel Core i5-5600U from the new Broadwell generation clocks at 2.6 GHz. The
two cores support Hyperthreading, so the CPU can execute up to four threads simultaneously.
The Turbo Boost enables a maximum clock of 2.9 GHz for one core and 2.7 GHz for both cores.
The processor is an ultra-low voltage with a TDP of 15 Watts, and experience shows that it
should be sufficient for common tasks and still have a lot of headroom.

In practice, the processor does leave a very good impression and we could not notice any
performance restrictions in Windows 8.1 or any applications that we tested. However, there
are significant restrictions on battery power with the activated "Energy-Saving" profile:
The processor throttles heavily and only manages a quarter of the previous (AC) result in
Cinebench R10. This behavior can be changed with the profile "Balanced" or "High-Performance"
where the clocks and therefore the Cinebench results are much higher.

The processor can reach its maximum Turbo clock, but it quickly starts to throttle when you
start to stress the GPU at the same time: The cooling solution does not seem to be powerful
enough for simultaneous high load of both components. We will have a closer look at the
situation in theTemperature section.

The slightly increased per-MHz performance of the new processor generation is noticeable in
the Cinebench results: The Latitude can outperform all the other notebooks in the comparison
by a few percent, but the advantage is not large enough to notice in practice.
