70% Dell Latitude 5400 Review

With a durable chassis, fast performance and a plethora of security features, the Latitude 5400 is great for business use. The laptop even offers a comfortable keyboard and long battery life for those who travel frequently. But a dim, dull display and a bland chassis prevents the notebook from being a recommended device for uses outside of the office.

90% Dell Latitude 5400 review: A mainstream business laptop that gets the job done
Source: Neowin Archive.org version
The Dell Latitude 5400 is a great all-around laptop. It checks all of the right boxes. It's just not sexy. It's not super-thin, it's not super-light, it doesn't come in flashy colors, and no one is going to ask you what laptop you're using while you're working on it at Starbucks.

As for the display, it is packed with features designed to keep users focused on their work, like the four-sided narrow bezel and anti glare screen. The display installed on the Latitude 14 is a 14" FHD WVA (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare Non-Touch panel.

Plus, users can stream video, download and smoothly run applications with improved discrete graphics performance.

To keep the work flowing, there is a high-density battery with ExpressCharge, which allows an 80% charge in one hour. With Dell Power Manager, users can choose from four modes to balance between optimal battery or power performance. User can also start the workday faster by signing in with an optional fingerprint reader integrated into the power button or with the optional IR camera + Windows Hello for seamless authentication. As for connectivity, the Dell Latitude 14 5400 can quickly connect to peripherals with a full range of available ports, including USB Type-C, optional Thunderbolt 3, and legacy ports like HDMI and RJ45.

Furthermore, users can manage all of their Windows 10 endpoints from one console with Dell Client Command Suite and VMware Workspace ONE integration. For additional security, SafeID protects end-user credentials with an optional fingerprint reader on the power button and the FIPS 201 Smart-Card Reader.
