Dell takes on the Surface Pro 4 with its Latitude 5285 2-in-1

Microsoft Surface Pro line just got some new competition courtesy of Dell's latest 2-in-1, the Latitude 5285. Introduced at CES 2017, the Latitude 5285 looks very similar to Microsoft's own 2-in-1 offering. The internals back that up, with the only major difference being the Latitude's slightly lower resolution — but still good — 1080p display.

As for ports, you're looking at a single USB 3.0 port, 2 USB-C ports, a microSD card reader and a single micro SIM card slot. For the business crowd, there are also optional security features like a FIPS 201 Smartcard reader, fingerprint reader and contactless SC Reader/NFC.

If the 2-in-1 has piqued your interest, the Latitude 5285 is set to go on sale on February 28 for $899.
