Is the Latitude 3120 any good?

[Pixelfie]

I'm looking for a new laptop for school use. I mainly use it for some Word documents, web browsing, watching video's and maybe twice a year edit a video. My parents only want to buy it through school so options are limited. I can't find any reviews about it. Is this an upgrade and is it any good?

Current laptop:
Latitude 3189

Pentium N4200

4gb DDR3

Intel HD Graphics 505

128gb Sandisk SSD

1366x768 IPS touch screen (has terrible backlight bleeding and black's)

~2-3 hours battery life

 

New laptop:
Latitude 3120

Pentium N6000

8gb LPDDR4

Intel UHD Graphics

128gb SSD

1366x768 IPS touch screen

? hours battery life

€700

That price is a scam. You can pick these laptops up for $80 in the US. Then again, you said your options are limited... Do you have any other options?

 

For the same price, you could get a used 6/7th gen Lenovo X1 Carbon off of eBay.

Yeah that's what I thought. The other option is an Acer Spin with the same specs as my old 3189, making it a useless upgrade. I've seen other options like the Asus Zenbook UM325, but I would need to convince my parents to buy it from somewhere else.The X1 Carbon also seems decent, but once again they only want to buy from school which has crazy prices.

That is REALLY expensive for a DELL Latitude with THOSE specs.

You can get a brand-new Lenovo T-series / X-Series / Yoga (2-in-1) series for that much.

700 Euros ~= $850 USD.

 

Lenovo T490s -- $799.99

• Intel i5-8265U
• 1920x1080 display
• 8GB DDR4 RAM
• 256GB PCI-E SSD (with room for upgrade, additional slot)
• Advertised up to 20 hours battery life

 

Lenovo Yoga 13" -- $837

• Intel i7-10510U
• 1920x1080 IPS touch screen
• 8GB of DDR4 RAM
• 256GB PCI-E SSD
• Advertised up to 12 hours battery life

 

What other laptop options, or store/seller options do you have?

Here are the options, they don't say any price so you will need to google what it would normally cost (that's what they sell most laptops for).

 

Here are other sites you can look, but I would need to somehow convince my parents to not buy it through school which will be a hard task xD
