yes, of course. Latitude uses better parts

For example, wireless chip signal is stronger. Wired network should be 1Gb instead of 100Mb, and LCD screen should be brighter and shaper. Keyboard is more comfortable. Speaker and Micphone should have better quality. There are many things here and there.

If you want good quality, go with Latitude. If you still fell Latitude, go with Dell Adamo line. They are even better quality than Latitude.
