Core Ultra 7 165U performance debut: Dell Latitude 9450 2-in-1 review
The 2024 Latitude 9450 2-in-1 directly succeeds last year's Latitude 9440 2-in-1. The newer model introduces Intel Meteor Lake-U processor options to replace the older Raptor Lake-U series. Otherwise, the two Latitude models are visually identical as there are no major changes to the family this year.
Our test unit is the highest-end configuration with the Core Ultra 7 165U CPU, 32 GB of LPDDR5x-7467 RAM, and 512 GB M.2 2230 SSD for approximately $3000 USD. Lesser SKUs come with the Core Ultra 5 125U instead and include half the RAM and storage for several hundred dollars less, but the 2560 x 1600 IPS touchscreen is fixed across all options.
Alternatives to the Latitude 9450 2-in-1 include other business convertibles like the Asus Expertbook B5 Flip, Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4, or the HP EliteBook x360 830 G10.

Case — Year-Old Design Still Feels Fresh
Last year's Latitude 9440 2-in-1 was a radical redesign of the older Latitude 9430 2-in-1. Thus, it's not surprising that this year's Latitude 9450 2-in-1 introduces only minimal changes. Our existing comments on the chassis and physical properties of the Latitude 9440 2-in-1 still apply for the Latitude 9450 2-in-1.
An easy way to distinguish between the Latitude 9450 2-in-1 from the 9440 2-in-1 is to look for the new Microsoft Co-Pilot key which replaces the Ctrl key. Laptops from other manufacturers like Lenovo have begun incorporating the Co-Pilot key as well.
Communication
Wi-Fi 7 comes standard whereas last year's model shipped with "only" Wi-Fi 6E support. However, the vast majority of users still cannot fully exploit the benefits of Wi-Fi 7 and so the upgrade here makes little to no difference at the time of writing.
Webcam
Webcam quality remains at 2 MP whereas models like the HP EliteBook 1040 G10 or Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4 have 5 MP sensors for sharper images.
Maintenance
Display — IPS Only
The touchscreen has not changed and so users are still getting the same AU Optronics B140QAN IPS panel as on the 2023 model. This panel is notorious for its slow black-white and gray-gray response times leading to very noticeable ghosting. For most office tasks, however, the ghosting shouldn't be a huge issue.
There are unfortunately still no other display options to choose from meaning OLED and higher refresh rates are out of the question.

Performance — Meteor Lake-U vs. Meteor Lake-H
Testing Conditions
We set Dell Optimizer to Ultra Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below.
Processor
The Core Ultra 7 165U is the vPro version of the Core Ultra 7 155U. Both cache sizes and target clock rates are essentially the same between them except that the Core Ultra 7 165U targets a +100 MHz higher maximum. In practice, however, the Core Ultra 7 165H is not inherently any faster than the Core Ultra 7 155U.
Unfortunately, the Core Ultra 165U in our Dell is somewhat underwhelming with results that are neck-to-neck with the older Ryzen 7 7730U. It's still faster than the Core i7-1365U in last year's Latitude 9440 2-in-1 by about 10 to 15 percent, but the general performance uptick is relatively minor all things considered.

Stress Test
CPU Turbo Boost sustainability is limited which aligns with the underwhelming CineBench results mentioned above. When running Prime95, for example, clock rate and board power draw would be as high as 3.4 GHz and 44 W, respectively, before slowly but steadily falling to just 2.2 GHz and 21 W after several minutes to keep temperatures in check. Our screenshot below shows core temperature reaching 102 C when Turbo Boost is unrestrained.
| CPU Clock (GHz) | GPU Clock (MHz) | Average CPU Temperature (°C) | |
| System Idle | -- | -- | 44 |
| Prime95 Stress | 2.3 | -- | 76 |
| Prime95 + FurMark Stress | 1.8 | 1150 | 77 |
| Witcher 3 Stress | ~2.1 | ~1600 - 2000 | 78 |
System Performance
PCMark results are only slighyl ahead of the older Latitude 9440 2-in-1. Improvements are there, but they are perhaps not as noticeable as many users would like.
