which Latitude? they've probably made 100 different laptops over the
last couple decades branded 'Latitude'.
I bet my wife's new Latitude 15 5000 would be problematic, it uses USB
C/Thunderport for its docking station which has 2 additional video
adapters in it. She's even having some issues with Windows 7 with the
docking ports, Win 10 is the officially supported OS, but her $job
software is all win7 based..

that too is a "skylake", latest gen intel CPU, you might have some
issues with CentOS and the USB C/Thunderport, and/or USB 3 on those.
If it works on Ubuntu, you likely can get it working with C7 albeit
maybe using a newer kernel.
unless you're going to game or run advanced CAD software, I'd try and
find one that uses Intel's onboard graphics, just to keep things
simpler, and save on bat...

D series are 10 years or more old. ancient in laptop terms. I had a
D600 for a long time (new in 2003).
The E6x00, '10, '20, and '30 are also fairly old (2008, 2010, 2011, and
2012, respectively).
The current models branded like Latitude 15 5000, 14 7000, etc, are in
