Reason: Stub (Discuss in Talk:Dell Latitude 7370)

These laptops are a part of the Latitude 13 7000 Series featuring Intel Skylake [1]. This series does have some relation to the Dell XPS 13 (2016) for general reference.

## Dock

The TB15 Thunderbolt dock is no longer supported by DELL, and is no longer being sold [2]. The TB15 thunderbolt dock is still a work-in-progress for support, but the use of it is anecdotal [3]. It seems to currently work best when plugged in before booting and avoiding any form of hot-plugging [4].

The TB15 has been replaced by the TB16 [5].

Alternative, the WD15 seems to work as an alternative docking station [6].

## Updating BIOS

Download the BIOS update from the DELL website and place it either at the root of a FAT-formatted USB disk, or within `/boot` on the hard drive (if using EFI). Reboot and hit `F12` during startup, selecting "BIOS Flash Update". The simple file browser should see the executable, select it and allow the update to occur.

## Card reader

The Broadcom reader "should work" via ccid and pcsclite, but requires an firmware/BIOS update that must be run in Windows [7][dead link 2023-04-23 ⓘ].

Supporting documentation regarding the card reader: [8] [9].

## Touchpad

There is a known issue where the touchpad is detected as "ImPS/2 BYD TouchPad", a patch is in the works [10].

## Display

Due to being HiDPI it is also common to notice latency when using desktop environments like GNOME. Installing vulkan-intel appears to alleviate some of these issues.

## DisplayLink

In order to connect to external projectors using an external dongle, you will need to configure DisplayLink.

Reason: No updated since 2017, is this still relevant? (Discuss in Talk:Dell Latitude 7370)

### Suspend

It appears the system can get into a state in which suspend will stop working (system will suspend but upon attempt to resume will cold boot)[11]. Current resolution appears to be to perform a shutdown within the system and suspend should start working again. Newer BIOS versions also have improved this issue, though it can still occur.

### No keyboard

It appears that on linux-mainlineAUR the system will boot without a keyboard. This can be resolved by adding `i8042` to the `MODULES` array in mkinitcpio.conf.
