Reviews for the Dell Latitude 14 7000 Series E7470
New benchmark. A laptop rarely manages such a high score. Can the expensive WQHD version meet the highest expectations? To say it right away, the battery runtimes are a bit disappointing, but the rest of the 14-inch device will be the benchmark for the ultimate business to go.

It's hard to go wrong with the Latitude 14 7000. The sleek system is extremely well-rounded, offering zippy performance, strong security, an excellent keyboard and a crisp 14-inch display. Plus, it's compact enough for your daily commute and boasts solid durability credentials. On the other hand, it's easy to imagine commuters getting fed up with the Latitude 14 7000's rear-facing ports, which could leave you, at the end of your workday, groping around for wires that you can't easily see. Lenovo's slim ThinkPad T460s is a strong alternative that doesn't have that issue, but it doesn't last nearly as long on a charge as Dell's system. That's enough to make the Latitude 14 7000 a really easy laptop to recommend.

There's not much to dislike about the Latitude E7470 – and do note that some of the limitations of Dell's ordering system can be mitigated by asking for a customised quote. During our brief time with the laptop, we found it to be fast, silent – even under load (although we didn't try prime95 or any similar benchmarks) – and it boasts some top-notch input peripherals and an equally great reparability experience.

Model: Purpose built with world class security features, the Dell Latitude 14 E7470 is made for business on-the-go. The Windows 10 Pro Ultrabook has an overall sleek profile and a modern design.

The 1.50 kg Ultrabook is equipped with an Intel Core i7-6600U dual-core processor clocked at 2.6 GHz and an intel Integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU as the best possible configuration. Besides this, there are 8 GB DDR4 RAM and a 256 M.2 SSD as blazing fast internal storage. The Dell Latitude 14 E7470 comes with a plethora of included security software and optional security add-ons ranging from a security card reader to a fingerprint sensor.

Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
6600U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
