Reviews for the Dell Latitude 14 7414 Rugged Extreme

84% Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme Notebook Review | Notebookcheck
Nerves of steel. Dell's Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme is a particularly robustly designed work device that can be easily used in technology-unfriendly environments. In addition to the solid casing, it sports high-performance components and modern interfaces. We extensively tested what can be expected from the Rugged Latitude.

The Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme is an intense notebook that's for intense environments. While heavy for a 14-incher, this machine can take a serious beating and survive all sorts of conditions. I also appreciate the outdoor-friendly display, long battery life and data encryption features.

80% Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme, review: Tough, but short on battery life

It's difficult to fault the Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme on toughness grounds. However, you're unlikely to get day-long battery life from the entry-level configuration with the standard 6-cell battery.

Our Editors' Choice for rugged laptops was the semi-rugged Dell Latitude E6430 ATG, but it is clear that the Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme surpasses it. Panasonic still makes a fully rugged Toughbook 31, but it uses older processors that are less efficient than the fourth generation Intel Core i5 in the Latitude 14. We'd like to see multitouch screen functionality in a rugged laptop sometime soon, but for now, the Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme shows that it is robust enough and modern enough to become our top pick if you need a tough-as-nails notebook.

Dell set out to build the ultimate rugged machine with its latest Latitude, and it’s succeeded. It’s got every feature we can imagine for staying safe in the field, and its top-notch build quality is matched by good security features. The screen serves its purpose. The resolution, stunning brightness, matte coating and Gorilla Glass material all ensure it’s good to go no matter what the conditions, even if its colour accuracy disappoints.

Comment

Model:

The Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme is made from a rigid magnesium-alloy chassis and ultra-polymer materials, which make this laptop shock absorbent and extremely durable. There is a 14.0 inch HD Direct-View outdoor-readable display and Dell has added resistive touchscreen on top of that.

Several configurations are available. It can be equipped with an Intel Core i7-4650U dual-core processor clocked at 1.70 GHz and maximum of 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3L RAM. Users can optionally upgrade the integrated Intel HD Graphics to the Nvidia GeForce GT 720M graphics chip. Besides this, there is a 512 GB SSD, which is not only blazing fast but also allows for a non-mechanical storage to further increase durability.

Other features consist of 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, an optional docking system and even the ability to add GPS with a dedicated GPS antenna setup. The audio on the Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme is good with its high-quality speakers but the FHD webcam is an option that must be selected by the user. Battery life is amazing with a 6-cell Lithium-ion that powers that laptop for 10 hours.

Intel HD Graphics 4400:

ULV integrated GPU (GT2) with 20 EUs found on certain Haswell CPU models.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


4300U:

Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.9 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 2.9 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


14.00":

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.

3.69 kg:

Only a few laptops are in this weight class because the mobility is rather limited due to the high weight.

84%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
