Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th Gen vs Dell Latitude 7410

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th Gen 20QD-001TUS makes for a good, if unremarkable, Traditional Laptop for people with a $910 budget.

The Dell Latitude 7410 i5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, however, is merely mediocre at its $1812 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.
