Archive.org versionOne rung below the pinnacle of Dell's corporate laptop hierarchy (the Latitude 9000 series), you'll find the excellent if somewhat staid Latitude 7420 (starts at $1,589; $2,228.08 as tested). This 14-inch business laptop gets subtle improvements with each new generation. The latest version doesn't fix what isn't broken, adding Intel's latest silicon and little else. This means that for the time being, it's a superior alternative to our longtime favorite enterprise ultraportable, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (whose new Gen 9 edition, which matches the Dell's move to 11th Generation Intel processors, we haven't tested yet). Choose the Latitude 7420 if you want a competent workhorse with excellent computing performance, even if it is a bit heavier and more expensive than the ThinkPad.

Archive.org versionTo sum up, everything we said in the lines above, the Latitude 14 7420 is a pretty formidable device, which packs a ton of features mainly aimed at privacy and security. From the TPM chip, through the privacy shutter, to the IR face recognition sensor and the ingenious proximity sensor. In fact, it works as it should – step away from your notebook, and in a matter of seconds, the display turns off, and the laptop locks itself. Then, sit back in front of it, the screen shines right away, and the IR sensor unlocks your notebook. Nobody will see the contents of your work when you’re away.

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.
