Dell Latitude 9510 2-in-1: The ‘Hey Daddy’ laptop

Sturdy, premium, and dependable

Published

“Touching Dell is a sensual experience.”

This is how our Associate Creative Director described Dell when I asked what it’s like using one. That’s not verbatim as the original quote is much more R-18. That said, it got me curious. But the very moment I laid hands on the Dell Latitude 9510 2-in-1, I immediately realized what he was talking about.

We often talk about how well-built and premium certain devices feel, and the Latitude 9510 (which is how I will refer to it starting at this point), is as premium as it gets.

The brush metal finish isn’t all-look. It’s really tough.

It’s consistent look and toughness feel extends to the hinge. 

This is, after all, a 2-in-1 so you can spread it like so.

Here’s another look at the hinge when it’s positioned like that. 

While we’re at it, a quick look at the ports. On the right side are: Wedge-shaped lock slot, audio combo jack, and USB 3.2 Gen 1 (with power share).

Over to the left you’ll find: HDMI 2.0, two Thunderbolt3 with Power Delivery and Display Port, and uSD 4.0 Memory card reader. 

This unit in particular is powered by a 10th Gen Core i7 processor (4 Core, 8M Cache, base 1.8GHz up to 4.9GHz, vPro Capable).

While we’re on the subject, here’s the rest of the internals:

  • 8GB memory, Intel UHD Graphics
  • 8GB, 2133 MHz, LPDDR3, Integrated
  • M.2 256GB PCIe NVMe Class 35 Solid State Drive
  • Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 2×2 802.11ax 160MHz + Bluetooth 5.1 Wireless Card
  • 52 WHr Polymer, ExpressCharge capable

All of these combined for what I would say is one of the most hiccup free Windows laptop experiences I have ever had.

I wouldn’t exactly call my daily grind a true testament to stress-testing a laptop. However, there’s enough variety that would have me running multiple browsers as well as photo and video editing apps on any given day.

You can characterize my usage as perhaps one that closely resembles an active office worker. I’m always hopping from writing on GoDoc or Microsoft Word, editing an image on Photoscape X, or arranging GoSheets for our contributors’ payroll.

Yes, that’s Mina of TWICE. Not what I was actually working on 👀

These aren’t super strenuous tasks to a computer by any stretch of the imagination, but each and every task certainly felt more smooth than previous laptops I’ve tried of late. And it’s certainly faster than my nearly 6-year-old beaten and battered MacBook Pro.

The four top firing premium speakers with Waves MaxxAudio was a joy to use.

Normally when I take breaks, I fire up the TV and line-up a few YouTube videos to watch while I have lunch or grab a snack. I never felt the urge to do that on the Latitude 9510.

The reason being the speakers are so loud without distorting the audio.I felt little to no urge to open my TV and there was little compromise despite watching on a 15-inch, 16:9 FHD display.

That bezel looks clean AF

Speaking of the display…

Dell Latitude 9510 2-in-1

I had been using a notebook with a 3:2 ratio prior to this and it took longer than expected for me to adjust to the display size. What I figured would take only a day stretched to about 2-3 days.

One of my favorite things on Windows 10 is the split screen feature. Simply snap on a tab or an app to the upper left or upper right edge of the screen and it’ll snap into place. If you’re wondering why I’m gushing about this, it’s because I’m a longtime Mac user and I just didn’t have this. Or at the very least, not as convenient as it is on Windows.

It’s perfect for referencing a press release when I’m writing an article or for when I’m on social media duty scheduling posts on our Facebook Page and Twitter account which you should totally follow.

More on the topic of “getting used to”, the keys on the keyboard are so much smaller than I would have liked. While they have a decent amount of travel, my stubby fingers took even longer to adjust to its size and would end up with more typos than I usually commit.

Took me about five days to really get the hang of the keyboard. That’s saying something because I literally type everyday. That said, it didn’t, in any way, affect my perception of the laptop’s overall premium experience.

Power management king

What impressed me the most with the Latitude 9510 is its power management. Oftentimes towards the end of most workdays, I’d tell myself that I’ll just take a quick break. The quick break turns into a full-on sleep due to exhausting with the laptop I’m using left open and unplugged.

Most laptops would run the battery dry, but the Latitude 9510 is smart enough to turn the laptop off. But that’s not even the most impressive thing. When I switch it back on, it’s like I never left. All the stuff I was working on, all the tabs, all the apps are right there ready to be picked up where I left off.

This simply isn’t the case with most other laptops I’ve used other than MacBook Pros.

Should it have been a 2-in-1?

Specifically for my use-case, I never found the need to use its capabilities as a 2-in-1 device. With its size and weight (1.4kg/3.03lbs), I thought it was too heavy for most people to wield it  like a tablet.

Too big and too heavy for tablet mode

I imagine it would be great if, say you’re going to showcase slides in a meeting. Propping it up in ‘tent mode’ would make it easy to show and discuss the slides. But for this specific form factor, it’s just too big. Perhaps 2-in-1s are best kept to at most 13-inch notebooks.

Other benefits

This being an enterprise business laptop comes with some extra perks. The Dell Client Command Suite + VMware Workspace ONE lets your IT personnel manage firmware, OS, and apps from one console.

There’s also ProSupport that resolves hardware issues up to 11x faster than most other brands. ProSupport for PCs offers 24×7 access to in-region ProSupport engineers who contact IT when critical issues arise, so you can focus on what’s next, not what just happened.

Is the Dell Latitude 9510 2-in-1 your GadgetMatch?

Truth be told, this Dell Latitude 9510 2-in-1 is an overkill of a laptop, at least for what I do. It’s too strong, too premium, too powerful for the tasks that I threw at it.

But the “Hey Daddy” laptop tag is no mischaracterization. With all its excellence in performance comes a premium build that, as my colleague described, feels dangerously close to a “sensual experience.”

Highly dependable is the best way to describe this notebook. It literally has everything you can ask for in a work-oriented notebook. I also cannot stress enough the level of premium-ness (I doubt that’s an actual word) it exudes.

You’re paying a premium (PhP 113,500) to have this laptop be constantly at your side, but that premium comes with benefits that will last you for years, perhaps even close to a decade, which is exactly what you want out of any laptop.

TECNO MEGABOOK T15 360 unveiled at IFA 2026

Four laptops, three phones, one event

TECNO is making its MEGABOOK lineup a little more flexible.

At IFA ShowStoppers 2026, the uprising tech brand unveils the MEGABOOK T15 360 with two more laptops and three phones tagging along.

One laptop, four modes

The MEGABOOK T15 360 series is the brand’s first laptop lineup with a 360-degree hinge and touchscreen display.

By that, it’s more than just a conventional laptop. It can also be a tablet or a portable display via Tent mode or Stand mode. This added feat makes everything more versatile as TECNO’s existing laptops are only limited to the clamshell form factor.

Both models feature a 15.6-inch screen with the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. As alluded earlier, it’s a touchscreen laptop consisting of 10-point multitouch points. There’s also optional MPP 2.0 active pen support if you want to write or draw directly on the display.

So what’s the difference?

Well, the regular T15 360 gets a Full HD 60Hz panel with 320 nits brightness.

Meanwhile, the Pro version takes it up a notch with a faster 120Hz refresh rate, sharper 2.5K display resolution, full 100% sRGB coverage, and higher 350 nits brightness.

Both laptops come in an all-metal chassis made using CNC machining. The convertible design doesn’t come at the expense of a more conventional laptop build.

Performance uncompromised

TECNO isn’t treating the T15 360 as a lightweight convertible that has to compromise on performance.

You can get up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, paired with an LPDDR5X RAM. The storage is based from PCIe M.2 2280 SSD — with select models having a secondary M.2 slot for utmost expansion.

There’s also a 70Wh battery plus support for a speedy 65W PD GaN charger. Connectivity includes up to Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4, alongside seven built-in ports.

Practical stuff were neither forgotten. There’s a backlit keyboard with a dedicated number pad, a fingerprint reader underneath its power button, dual speakers with DTS Ultra, a webcam, and dual digital microphones.

TECNO’s OneLeap feature also rounds things out by letting the MEGABOOK work with other TECNO’s smartphones, tablets, and other PCs for cross-device collaboration.

Two more MEGABOOKs

TECNO also brought two other MEGABOOKs to IFA.

The MEGABOOK K15S WCL is the more straightforward option. It uses Intel’s newer Wildcat Lake platform with a 16:10 display, a 70Wh battery, and 65W GaN charging — all in a premium, all-metal body.

Then there’s the MEGABOOK T17 Ultra. Ultra by its name, it goes big with a massive 17.3-inch 16:9 display. It can be configured with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and LPDDR5X memory. It also features a massive 99.99Wh battery and speedy 100W GaN PD fast charging.

Wait! There’s even more…

Beyond laptops, TECNO reveals the true form of its Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone at IFA 2026.

As announced more than a month ago, this concept uses a redesigned display architecture, internal stacking, structural engineering, and screen packaging to eliminate the physical black border around the display, resulting in what TECNO calls a true 0mm display border.

Beside a phone prototype, there are two consumer-ready products as well.

The POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition combines the POVA series’ performance-focused approach with Tonino Lamborghini’s design language.

It uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate 5G chipset alongside TECNO’s custom-made P1 Graphic Chip and a 5K IceShield vapor chamber cooling system. Specific details will be announced on September 4, 2026.

Meanwhile, the CAMON Slim 5G focuses on a thinner form factor, measuring just 6.39mm thick.

TECNO says it combines the CAMON line’s imaging features with AI capabilities and artistic colorways. More specifications will be revealed on September 7.

Pricing and Availability

The MEGABOOK T15 360 Series is expected to arrive in Europe by Q4 2026.

Depending on the configuration choice, the MEGABOOK T15 360 will start between EUR 899 ~ EUR 999. The MEGABOOK T15 360 Pro will cost as much as EUR 1099.

No pricing info were announced for the other MEGABOOKs and two phones as of writing.
