I purchased a refurbished one from DELL 3 month ago for less than $500. Include tax and recycle fee total is around $530. I mainly use it in my office. It's about 1.5LB lighter than my company's one, which is E6410. I have docking station with external monitor and keyboard in my office. So, its smaller screen size is not issue to me. Now I carry it everyday instead of my compnay's one because it's more portable.
I don't see any quality issue on both. I always prefer going with business grade, DELL Latutide series is much better than its home notebook series.
