The Dell Latitude E6220 probably isn't for you, unless you're a business traveler who needs something more rugged than a MacBook Air, has a nearly infinite budget, and requires TPM or vPro.
I don't mean to be dismissive, but this admittedly powerful 12.5-inch Dell laptop, while having impressive performance and battery life, tops the charts at a whopping $1,663 starting price for specs that are really no different than you'd find on a laptop that costs half as much. The Latitude E6220 dates from the end of 2011, but even so, it seems like a device that's out of step with the thin ultrabook trend in laptops, despite having a handful of military-spec rugged features.
If the Latitude E6220 started at a reasonable price--$700, for instance--I'd be more inclined to recommend it. After all, while it's thick and not entirely attractive, it's well-featured and gets the job done in a reasonably compact package. Still, when a laptop makes the MacBook Air look like a bargain, you know you're in for a tough sell...even for a rugged business laptop. If you're not working on a construction site or in the desert, the HP Folio 13 is a far better alternative bet--or, wait for the soon-to-be-released Dell XPS 13, but if you nee dell latitude e6220
