Dell Latitude 14 5431 review – the more power is worth it
Source: Laptop Media
We can spend all day talking about the ton of features this device offers in its numerous configurations. It comes with an optional fingerprint reader, IR face recognition scanner, proximity sensor, 1080p Web camera, LTE support, and more. And this is great, don’t get us wrong. However, what is more, important to us, is to get an adequate base. Some might say, it’s au naturel. In our opinion, this is a great machine. At least from this perspective. It has a great performance for this type of product. It sustains 30W of TDP for long periods of time and can boost pretty high too. The cooling solution it is equipped with, does a great job of cooling the internals, without having a negative impact on comfort, both in terms of noise, and keyboard temperature. Dell Latitude 14 5431’s IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio. Thankfully, its backlight doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment. On the other hand, the screen covers only 50% of the sRGB colors, which has two impacts. One – the image looks a bit dull, when compared to a full-coverage panel, and two – you can’t expect accurate colors. Be wary of a 768p TN display option, which is something you want to stay away from. On the bright side, you can pick a panel with full sRGB coverage, which will be ideal for color-related work. Furthermore, you get two SODIMM slots for memory expansion, which is not usual for 14-inch notebooks. But yet again, this is not an ordinary device. It is a business outfit, which provides more than you might need. What you really need, however, is long battery life. In this case, the 64Wh battery lasts for more than 13 hours of Web browsing, or about 9 hours of video playback. This way, it is almost sure that you will be able to get an entire workday on battery power. On the other hand, using more demanding software will obliterate the package quite quickly. Another aspect we really like is the port selection. Two Thunderbolt ports are joined by a couple of USB Type-As, a MicroSD card reader, an HDMI connector, and a LAN port. This makes it a strong opponent even to the boldest of Fujitsus out there.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
