Dell Latitude 14 9410 2-in-1 Convertible Review: A Latitude 7400 At Heart
Earlier this year, Dell introduced its Latitude 9000 series of ultra-thin high-end business laptops that were advertised to be even sleeker and better than the Latitude 7000 series. In reality, however, Dell sort of just renamed the existing Latitude 7400 2-in-1 into the Latitude 9410 2-in-1 and then called it a day because both of these systems share nearly same chassis design and internals. The older Whiskey Lake-U CPUs have been upgraded to Comet Lake-U, but not much else has changed. Thus, the 2020 Latitude 9410 2-in-1 can be viewed as a minor update to the 2019 Latitude 7400 2-in-1.
We recommend checking out our review on the Latitude 7400 2-in-1 for more information on the chassis and its physical features since many of our comments apply here on the Latitude 9410 2-in-1. Direct competitors include other flagship 14-inch subnotebook convertibles like the Lenovo Yoga C940, Asus ZenBook Flip 14 or HP EliteBook x360 1040.

Case
Much like what we observed on the Latitude 7400 2-in-1, the Latitude 9410 2-in-1 remains one of the strongest ultra-thin business laptops in Dell's Latitude lineup in terms of rigidity and design. We can notice no creaking when twisting the metal base or lid and only minimal warping. It may not be a brand new look, but it continues to be marginally smaller than many alternatives including the HP EliteBook x360 1040, Lenovo Yoga C940, or Asus ZenBook Flip 14 while weighing almost the same.
Connectivity
Port options and positioning are identical to the Latitude 7400 2-in-1. We appreciate the variety especially when compared to some consumer-oriented laptops like the HP Spectre x360 13 or Dell XPS 13. However, the ports along the left edge are tightly spaced and thus not as accommodating for thicker cables.
When compared to the HP EliteBook x360 1040 G5, the Dell integrates a MicroSD card reader whereas the HP has a volume rocker.
SD Card Reader
Transfer rates from the integrated MicroSD reader are fast and comparable to the XPS series. Moving 1 GB of pictures from our UHS-II test card to desktop is over 6x faster than on the Asus ZenBook Flip 14.

Communication
Wireless has been upgraded from the Intel 9560 on last year's Latitude 7400 to the Intel AX201 on our Latitude 9410 for Wi-Fi 6 compatibility. We experienced no issues when connected to our Netgear RAX200 test router.
Webcam
Security
Aside from vPro, IR, Noble Lock, and a fingerprint reader, the system carries a proximity sensor that's unique to certain Dell laptops. It's able to automatically detect when a user is nearby and then initiate the IR camera for hands-free ExpressSign-in. There is no webcam shutter option, however.
Maintenance
The bottom panel is relatively easy to remove after loosening 10 Philips screws. The M.2 storage bay and wireless module are removable while RAM is fixed. The WAN slot is also present but rendered useless on our non-WAN configuration.
Accessories and Warranty
There are no extras in the box other than the paperwork and AC adapter. Optional accessories include the Premium Active Pen (PN579X) and Latitude carrying sleeve.
A three-year limited warranty comes standard with plenty of extension options.
Input Devices
Keyboard
Key layout and feedback remain identical to the Latitude 7400 2-in-1 which isn't a bad thing since we found the typing experience on the older Latitude to be one of the best for a subnotebook convertible. Feedback is crisper and with deeper travel than on most other Ultrabooks including Dell's own XPS 13 series. Key clatter is slightly louder, however, which is a fair trade-off for more comfortable keys.
The F9 key continues to have no secondary function. An electronic webcam shutter like on the latest HP Envy series would have been great to see here.
Touchpad
The Precision glass clickpad (~10.5 x 6 cm) is smooth and with almost no sticking even when gliding at slow speeds. Its integrated mouse buttons are moderate in feedback and clatter and they feel easier to use than the softer clickpads on the XPS series. We wish the clickpad could have been a little bigger, but it's not a major issue since the small surface area pairs well with the small screen.
Display
The Latitude 9410 2-in-1 uses the same Sharp SHP14D2 controller and Sharp LQ140M1 IPS touchscreen as on last year's Latitude 7400 2-in-1. Thus, it's not surprising to find that innate attributes like response times, contrast ratios, color coverage, brightness, and even pulse-width modulation frequencies are almost identical between the two models. Though the display is still excellent, it's somewhat disappointing to not see any year-over-year improvements such as higher resolution options or a brighter backlight like what HP offers on some competing EliteBooks.
Color reproduction covers all of sRGB and approximately 64 percent of AdobeRGB not unlike most high-end Ultrabooks.

X-Rite colorimeter measurements reveal a well-calibrated display out of the box with average grayscale and color deltaE values of only 1.7 and 1.29, respectively. Calibrating the panel even further ourselves would result in even lower deltaE values to be one of the most color accurate sRGB displays we've seen on any subnotebook.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 1667 Hz | ≤ 44 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 1667 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 44 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 1667 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Outdoor visibility hasn't changed from the Latitude 7400 2-in-1 since they use the same Sharp IPS panel with almost equal brightness. Dell's own XPS 13 convertible comes equipped with a noticeably brighter display than what is offered here on the Latitude (550 nits vs. 300 nits).
Performance
Most people might assume that the Core i7-10610U will perform faster than the Core i7-10510U based on their product names alone. However, the Core i7-10610U and Core i7-10510U are differentiated by vPro support and not raw performance much like the last generation Core i7-8665U and Core i7-8565U. Dell offers no other options outside of Core i5 and Core i7 Comet Lake-U processors.
All benchmarks below were performed on Dell's Ultra Performance power profile for the highest scores possible.
Processor
Raw CPU performance is not all that different from the lesser Core i5-10210U, i5-10310U, or even the last generation Core i7-8565U. Users will have to configure with the higher-end hexa-core Core i7-10810U option for any appreciable gains in this regard.
Running CineBench R15 xT in a loop returns fluctuating scores as shown by our graph below due to the cycling core clock rates and temperatures when the system is subjected to extreme stress. In comparison, most other laptops have a high initial burst in speed before falling and stabilizing at fixed clock rates and temperatures. This behavior is explained in more detail in our Stress Test section below.
See our dedicated page on the Core i7-10610U for more technical information and benchmarks.

Storage Devices
Our test unit comes configured with a Micron 2200S NVMe SSD in contrast to the Toshiba XG6 drive on our older Latitude 7400 2-in-1. Sequential read rates are fast at just over 3000 MB/s, but it can take many read iterations to reach such speeds as exemplified by our DiskSpd loop test below. Write rates are much slower at about 1500 MB/s compared to almost twice that on the Samsung PM981 series.

GPU Performance
The UHD Graphics 620 hasn't changed in years which is fine if you mainly plan on video streaming, web browsing, or emailing. Nonetheless, it's too bad that Dell isn't offering any Ice Lake, Ryzen, or GeForce MX options which would have boosted graphics performance significantly for those who want it.
See our dedicated page on the UHD Graphics 620 for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

Emissions
System Noise
Whereas the fan in our Latitude 7400 2-in-1 test unit was unusually lethargic, the fan in our Latitude 9410 2-in-1 behaves more normally. The fan is barely audible at just 31.7 dB(A) at worst when browsing or video streaming and with no annoying pulsing behavior. Running higher loads like 3DMark 06 will bump fan noise to almost 40 dB(A) near the end of the 90-second benchmark to be louder than competitors, but it quickly becomes almost silent again once the heavy processing load stops.
Interestingly, fan noise when under heavy loads like CineBench or Prime95 is constant despite the cycling clock rates and temperatures as detailed in our Stress Test section below.

Temperature
Surface temperatures will always be warmer on the left half of the laptop than the right due to the positioning of the processor within. Hot spots in this region can reach a toasty 48 C to 56 C as shown by our temperature maps below, but this is thankfully away from the frontal quadrants of the chassis and most of the keyboard keys.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 48.4 °C / 119 F, compared to the average of 35.4 °C / 96 F, ranging from 19.6 to 60 °C for the class Convertible.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 55.2 °C / 131 F, compared to the average of 36.8 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 23.8 °C / 75 F, compared to the device average of 30.3 °C / 87 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are reaching skin temperature as a maximum (32.2 °C / 90 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.1 °C / 82.6 F (-4.1 °C / -7.4 F).
Stress Test
When running Prime95 to stress the CPU, clock rates would boost to about 3.6 GHz for the first couple of seconds until core temperature reaches 98 C. Clock rates would then stabilize at around 3.0 to 3.1 GHz for the next minute or so before finally cycling between 2.2 GHz and 3.3 GHz and 79 C to 98 C as shown by our screenshots below. This cycling behavior is not observed on most other laptops where fixed clock rates and temperatures are more common, but Dell favors it for the faster burst clock rates even if they are only temporary.
Running on battery will limit CPU performance. A 3DMark 11 run on battery power would return Physics and Graphics scores of 7118 and 1975 points, respectively, compared to 8315 and 1965 points when on mains.
| CPU Clock (GHz) | GPU Clock (MHz) | Average CPU Temperature (°C) | |
| System Idle | -- | -- | 38 |

Energy Management
Power Consumption
Dell Latitude laptops have always been very power efficient due in part to having no discrete GPU options. Idling on desktop draws only between 2 W and 5 W even when on to the maximum brightness setting.
Interestingly, power consumption can be very high for an ULV subnotebook when under demanding loads because of the included 90 W (~13 x 6.8 x 2.2 cm) AC adapter. In comparison, most Ultrabooks come with 45 W or 60 W adapters instead. When running extreme loads like Prime95, consumption can spike to as high as 76 W which is good because that means the processor can run at higher Turbo Boost clock rates even if only for very short periods.

Battery Life
Battery capacity is large for a 14-inch convertible form factor at 78 Wh. We're able to record 19 hours of real-world WLAN use before automatic shutdown to be a lot longer than most other subnotebooks. A smaller 52 Wh option is available for users who want a lighter system.
Charging from empty to full takes about two hours.

Pros
Cons
Verdict
The good news is that the Latitude 9410 2-in-1 isn't all that different from the already excellent Latitude 7400 2-in-1. Dell didn't mess with a good thing and instead simply upgraded some components like the CPU and WLAN to remain competitive against the HP EliteBook x360 and Lenovo Yoga convertible series.
On the other hand, the bad news is that the Latitude 9410 2-in-1 isn't all that different from the already excellent Latitude 7400 2-in-1. It's a double-edged sword because users can purchase last year's Latitude 7400 2-in-1 for essentially the same experience and performance as the pricier 2020 Latitude 9410 2-in-1. Minor drawbacks like the lack of a proper webcam or brighter display options haven't been addressed and GPU options are still nonexistent, but they don't detract from a superb chassis design that's barely a year old.
Don't let the brand new name fool you because the Latitude 9410 2-in-1 is just a minor refresh of the already excellent Latitude 7400 2-in-1. It's still one of the best 14-inch business convertibles you can get right now even though it may not have the brightest display out there.
