Dell Inspiron 14 5410 2-in-1 laptop in review: The modular convertible offers affordable performance
When it comes to computers, Dell is practically a legacy brand that has been around almost since the dawn of computers as we know them today. The Dell Inspiron laptops are aimed at customers with a rather limited budget and a taste for form and function. The convertibles in the series feature a lot of glass and metal on the case as well as good performance. The 14-inch convertible in review is relatively powerful with an Intel Core i7-1165G7 and 12 GB of RAM. In contrast to many others, the Inspiron 5410 is equipped with multiple upgrade options.
In line with the modular design, there's plenty of choice when it comes to configurations. The laptop can be found at various retailers with 8 to 16 GB of RAM and Intel processors ranging from an i3 to an i7. Some AMD processors are also available, but the convertible suddenly changes its name to Inspiron 7415 in that case. NVMe SSDs with 256 GB and 512 GB are available as storage drives.
There's currently a wide selection of low-priced 14-inch convertibles available, but the Dell devices stand out as being particularly upgradeable. As a result, the Inspiron 5410 faces the ThinkPad X1 Yoga G6, the HP Pavilion x360 14, and others as comparison devices.

Case - Two-toned aluminum
A lot of metal and glass characterize the surfaces of the convertible, which features a two-tone gray design. The two different but well-matched gray tones make the 2-in-1 laptop look sleek and elegant. The lid and the top of the base unit are made of aluminum, while the bottom of the base unit is made of painted plastic. The laptop can't be opened with one hand, but this is partly due to Dell's design, where the display raises the base. This also means that Dell can avoid using thick base feet on the Inspiron 5410. As a result, the single fan still gets a good supply of cold air from below and can expel the warm waste air through the industrial-looking holes on the back.
There are no visual shortcomings when it comes to workmanship. The curves around the edges are even and no major gaps are visible. The convertible looks high quality. While the case feels quite rigid, it can be bent a bit, and the top of the base unit can also be slightly pressed in where the keyboard is located.
In terms of size and weight, the Dell Inspiron 5410 sits in the midfield of all the 14-inch convertibles in our comparison. However, due to the small base feet, it's effectively a bit thinner than most of its competitors, since we don't take them into account when measuring.
Connectivity - The USB-C port with Power Delivery and DisplayPort remains available
The 2-in-1 laptop is a bit better equipped in terms of ports than some rivals of the same size. The laptop offers three free USB ports (one of them USB-C), since the power supply is provided via a female connector. Nevertheless, the laptop can also be powered via the USB-C port using Power Delivery. Thanks to DisplayPort, it can also output an image signal.
The Intel Thunderbolt Control Center reports a Thunderbolt 4 port on the Dell Inspiron 5410. Since the program doesn't launch without the corresponding hardware, we assume that the USB-C port is the one with Thunderbolt functionality. However, this is currently not listed in the convertible's spec sheet, and Dell hasn't responded to our inquiry yet.
SD card reader
When testing the transfer speeds with the fast 128 GB AV PRO V60 microSD, the Dell 2-in-1 laptop was unable to achieve good rates. 20 to 30 MB/s are at the level of USB 2.0.

Communication
The replaceable Intel AX201 module provides fast Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 in the Inspiron convertible. The 2-in-1 laptop is clearly above average in reception transfer rates, but the performance for sending data is somewhat below average. This is not unusual for laptops with a metal case.

Webcam
In terms of webcam quality, the Dell Inspiron 5410 doesn't stand out from the crowd among the laptops reviewed so far. While the test image is reasonably sharp in all areas and the Siemens stars are well reproduced in the corners, there are still high color deviations in the images captured by the camera.
Security
The Dell Inspiron has all the latest security features like TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot thanks to the Intel Core i7-1165G7. Users can log in using the built-in fingerprint sensor. This means the laptop is ready for Windows 11.
Accessories
The only accessories found in the box are the usual documents and the laptop's power adapter.
Maintenance
After loosening the few case screws, the laptop can be opened quickly, since the rear screws already lift the edge along the hinges. You can then easily remove the bottom cover with a plastic pry tool.
The laptop scores points with many replaceable parts. The Wi-Fi module, the M.2 SSD, and the DDR4 SO-DIMM RAM are all removable. The battery can also be removed in a few steps.
Warranty
Dell's warranty policy provides a 12-month manufacturer's warranty that includes Collect and Return.
Input devices - The convertible offers standard components
Keyboard
The backlight and the very quiet typing noise make it possible to work at night using this keyboard. Apart from that, the Dell 2-in-1 laptop's keyboard impresses with clear pressure points despite the short key travel.
Touchpad
The large ClickPad on the Dell Inspiron 5410 does its job without a hitch. The rounded and polished edges of the recess in the aluminum are the only haptic difference to the rest of the case.
Touchscreen
The 10-finger multi-touchscreen detects inputs in all areas of the screen with precision and without noticeable latencies. However, the glass surface could benefit from a dirt-repellent coating.
Display - Limited sRGB color-space reproduction
As far as measurements are concerned, the Full HD panel in the 16:9 format doesn't deliver a good picture. Only the contrast values of 1,217:1 are in a good range. The average display brightness of 209 cd/m² is weak, just like the color deviation rates.
From a subjective point of view, the panel's calibration is not quite as bad as the numbers make it out to be, but some of the color deviations are still quite noticeable. At least we didn't detect high-frequency flickering as PWM brightness control would cause.

The display's AdobeRGB, sRGB, and DisplayP3 color-space coverages of 54% and below are not sufficient for ambitious image or video editing. This also explains the high color deviations that CalMan calculates. The primary colors of additive color mixing with red, blue, and green lack intensity here.

The Dell Inspiron 5410 doesn't deliver a good picture in the light of the autumn sun. The screen's glossy surface leads to sharp reflections, and the panel's brightness isn't enough to drown them out. Nevertheless, the laptop screen is halfway legible at the right viewing angle.
The display panel in the Dell Inspiron 5410 polarizes the light strongly, which causes the viewing-angle montage here to show the results in a somewhat exaggerated manner. The brightness of the display changes slightly less than it appears below as viewing angles increase.
Performance - Not spectacular, but solid
The Dell Inspiron 5140 is available in a variety of configurations with an Intel Core i5 or i7, and 8 to 16 GB of RAM. Our review sample is equipped with the well-optimized Intel Core i7, 12 GB of RAM and a 512 GB NVMe SSD.
Test conditions
The Dell laptop's performance is controlled via the MyDell application. There are four possible settings here that influence the power limits. Since these are also influenced by other factors besides the settings, this results in different values. If the laptop is moved, PL1 is set to 15 watts for a brief moment. The following values were obtained from HWiNFO for PL1 and PL2:
Setting | PL1 (duration) | PL2 (duration) |
---|---|---|
Optimized | 25 W (56 s) | 51-60 W (2.44 ms) |
Cool | 15 W (56 s) | 51 W (2.44 ms) |
Quiet | 15 W (56 s) | 51 W (2.44 ms) |
Ultra performance | 27-30 W (56 s) | 51-60 W (2.44 ms) |
Unless otherwise indicated, all benchmarks were run with the Ultra performance profile enabled.
Processor
As a quad-core SoC with low energy consumption, the Intel Core i7-1165G7 is mainly used in slim laptops that are still expected to deliver good performance rates. According to Intel's data sheet, the CPU, which is manufactured in the SuperFin process, can be set to a TDP of between 12 and 28 watts. In our test device, the processor sustains the TDP of 30 watts, which is set by the Ultra Performance mode, for a bit less than a minute under prolonged load. Afterwards, it operates at 21 watts on average.
There are only significant differences between the Optimized performance mode and the Ultra Performance mode when it comes to prolonged load, and these are only in the range of a few percentage points. Subjectively, the system performance doesn't change at all. In contrast, the drop in performance when using the Cool profile is clearly noticeable as well as measurable. Performance drops by up to 40% here.
As is typical for Intel's 11th generation processors, the CPU lags strongly behind AMD's Ryzen chips in terms of multi-core results, but it can at least achieve equally good single-core results. Depending on the intended use and application selection, Intel or AMD has the advantage.

Processor performance on battery power
The CPU can run at full speed for a short time on battery power. However, after the first minute under load, the processor consumption is reduced to a value of 15 watts. This means that the processor clock rate drops by about 20% from 2.9 GHz to 2.3 GHz compared to when the laptop is plugged in. At the beginning of the graphs, it's easy to see that boost performance is not limited on battery power.
System performance
The Dell Inspiron 5410 achieves good performance scores in PCMark10, even though the moderate transfer rates of the SSD and RAM are somewhat reflected in the Digital Content Creation and Productivity categories. In everyday use, you can expect a good user experience with fast response times from the Dell convertible. Outside of very CPU-intensive tasks, the 2-in-1 laptop performs very well.

DPC latencies
A DPC latency of 1135 µs is not particularly good, but it falls within the same range as that of the competition. Exactly how high DPC latencies turn out to be in everyday use depends heavily on the installed drivers and other programs.

Storage
The built-in Toshiba KBG40ZNS512G NVMe SSD isn't the fastest drive; therefore, it's far behind the storage solutions of the competitors in the benchmarks. Although AS SSD produces slightly better scores, the laptop would probably benefit greatly from a better SSD overall. This storage drive is currently ranked 181 in our HDD/SSD Benchmarks article, proving it to be rather mediocre.

Graphics card
Until now, no graphics chip integrated into the processor has been able to match the computing power of dedicated graphics cards. The Intel Iris Xe with 96 EUs is no different here. Due to relatively good cooling, the graphics chip in the Dell Inspiron 5410 can deliver slightly above-average rates, but the 2-in-1 laptop can only be used for 3D applications to a limited extent.

Gaming performance
If you set the quality settings to medium or low levels, some games can be played at acceptable frame rates. Some modern titles even run at playable FPS depending on how well optimized they are. Nevertheless, the Dell Inspiron 5410 is by no means a gaming laptop. Frame rates collapse at high quality settings, if not before. The low RAM available to the graphics chip is also responsible for this.

Temperature
The surfaces of the Dell Inspiron 5410 hardly reach high temperatures. We were able to identify the warmest spot on the underside at around 52 °C (~126 °F). If the laptop is moved, it immediately limits the processor performance to 15 watts to protect the user from hot surfaces. As a result, surface temperatures drop quickly, and uncomfortable temperatures don't get to transition to the user's lap, either.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 41.8 °C / 107 F, compared to the average of 35.3 °C / 96 F, ranging from 19.6 to 55.7 °C for the class Convertible.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 45.3 °C / 114 F, compared to the average of 36.7 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 25.1 °C / 77 F, compared to the device average of 30.2 °C / 86 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 28.2 °C / 82.8 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.1 °C / 82.6 F (-0.1 °C / -0.2 F).

Stress test
The stress tests show a relatively consistent behavior under load. According to the values determined by HWiNFO, the power available to the processor drops rapidly to 28 watts after about one minute. The Intel Core i7-1165G7 runs at around 22 watts during prolonged periods of time, since the performance continues to drop within the first 15 minutes of the stress test. Depending on whether the graphics chip is required to run, you get an effective processor clock rate of 1.5 GHz to 2.5 GHz. The log charts below show how the performance drops when the convertible is moved. The laptop was briefly moved during the stress test with Prime95 (green values) between minutes 45 and 50.
In everyday use, we get a relatively powerful 2-in-1 laptop with enough performance to tackle slightly more demanding projects.
Speakers
The speakers in the Dell Inspiron 5410 have an interesting design with two resonance chambers, and they deliver a pleasant sound. Except for somewhat weak basses, the measurement results reveal a good sound pattern, which we were also able to confirm subjectively. Music genres like jazz, rock, and country sound excellent on the small laptop speakers compared to many other mobile computers. The somewhat weak bass is much less audible at medium volumes, though.

Energy management - 41 Wh isn't enough for the battery
Energy consumption
The idle power consumption of the Dell Inspiron 5410 is about 2 watts higher than that of the competition. With an average of 40.4 watts, the power consumption under load is at the expected level. While there's a problem with energy efficiency when it comes to the higher base consumption, the increased power consumption under load, however, is evidence of the greater amount of performance that is offered. Load peaks reached 54 watts in the individual tests, so that the included 65-watt power adapter will cover the laptop's needs in all load scenarios.

Troubleshooting - The Dell 2-in-1 laptop is overly cautious
In the test, the Dell Inspiron 5410 showed problems twice during the boot process. The first problem is relatively simple to solve. If the power adapter's connector isn't properly inserted into the laptop, the following error message appears during startup: "Alert! The AC power adapter wattage and type cannot be determined." In this case, the laptop will only boot into Windows when prompted to do so by selecting "Continue". However, you can disable this warning for the future through the control panel at the upper right and make sure to plug the power adapter's connector all the way in.
The second problem is a bit more essential. During a Windows update, it can happen that the Windows Boot Manager or the EFI boot loader is not correctly rewritten to the current build. While most other laptops now load the first OS from the hard drive, Dell's default boot order points to Dell's online recovery tool here. HTTP(s) Boot appears on the screen, and the laptop is expected to connect to the Internet. Normally, this is not necessary. It would be more convenient to adjust the boot order in the BIOS so that the Windows Boot Manager is started first, then the first operating system on the SSD in case of an error, and only after that, HTTP(s) Boot. The BIOS can be accessed via the F12 key on Dell laptops when the device is being turned on. If you're back in Windows, you should first repair the Boot Manager. If the problem continues, you will probably have to repair the boot loader as well. Dell has a good guide for repairing the boot loader. Our friends from PCWelt have a tutorial on how to repair and configure the Boot Manager.
Pros
Cons
Verdict - Adequate price-performance ratio
The Dell Inspiron 5410 shows a balanced performance in the test that is adequate for its price. The option to adjust the RAM, SSD, and Wi-Fi module to the user's needs is worth mentioning. This could make the convertible more future-proof than other models where all components are soldered.
Even though the processor's performance decreases after about 15 minutes in the stress test, it's still sufficient to handle everyday demands. Normally, modern computers are used more for a sprint than a marathon. The Dell folding computer definitely exhibits sprinting capabilities.
The Dell Inspiron 5410 is a solid convertible with powerful hardware and good design.
In terms of looks, the laptop pleases with its slim and somewhat well-rounded design. Therefore, even minor shortcomings aren't bothersome. We would even like to somehow be able to overlook the display's weak color-space coverage, since the image reproduction is subjectively better than what is suggested by the measurements.
Price and availability
At the time of writing, you can find the Dell Inspiron 5410 on Amazon starting at around $1,190 for the configuration with the Core i7-1165G7, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB PCIe SSD. There are several other memory configurations available as well.
