I've been using this Ultrabook for a few months now and it's been pretty good, definitely above average performance with unbelievably long battery life. One downside is the cooling, it tends to overheat very easily 30 min into normal office work and I wouldn't recommend keeping it on your lap unless you are looking cheap alternative to vasectomy.
@@verygoodbrother Sorry no time to repaste 150 laptops. I’d expect business line products to come with good quality thermal paste. I also suspect it’s the battery that’s emitting a lot of heat not the CPU 😅

I really love Dell and Latitude is my personal favorite series of all laptops.....Dell impressed me with this new laptop and I am also commenting on this video with my own latitude....Always love it...
Latitude is always considered chunky, tough business laptops with average performance. This looks like a refreshing change with a lot of features. A lot of good stuff!!!
Bottlenecks in performance vary upon configuration, use-case, workload and other very specific variables. Dell always gets the new technology before everyone else, so perhaps your system was under-specced, or you are running a workload outside of software requirements. IF you like this one, check at the 3301, which just came out, which is a entry level, Clam shell, version of this one.
Great review! As always, very informative and helpful. I was hoping you'll open the back and show the inside of the laptop. Can you confirm if the ram is soldered on the motherboard or upgradable?
Hi there , hope you're well. Thank you taking time to do a great review. I am in the market for a new laptop. Do you think Dell would be coming with an upgrade anytime soon for the ram, from 16gb to 32gb. Thank you for your reply. Cheers
Everything about this laptop is great besides the 16:9 ratio screen. They screwed that up big time. It's 2022 so they should have at least went with 16:10 or 3:2 screen.
True, but it gets quirky with a 2in1, if they were on top, the speakers are now facing backward and away. Many companies end up going with quad speakers to solve that.
@@WindowsCentral I have a Lenovo Yoga C930 and it has the smartest solution I've ever seen for a 2-in-1, not to mention the great quality sound it boasts.
it also doesnt have Commercial BIOS support, so good luck managing a fleet of XPS natively within one payne of glass. Its business class so it can scale management dramatically. But if this is a benefit-less feature, then its just an expense.
pretty good review...helps a lot! :D Try to decide between this one and the elitebook x360 1040. But that battery life is what really drives me towards the dell.. is it possible to upgrade the battery afterwards (since its not possible to configure it on the website in switzerland)?
@@luca-recallclothing9529 hey, no way. Not even the bigger battery is available somewhere :/ Now I have an eye on the new spectre x360 13" with the ice lake processor series. Should have a pretty good battery life too..
Typing a lot on the Surface Pro will not feel good. Also, you cant balance the Surface Pro on your lap - too wobbly. This computer is a stunner, and the battery life is absolutely worth it! Plus an excellent typing experience on the keyboard.
Godwin, there are alot of new features on this one (presence sensing, way too long battery, ultra small, and with dell support) and if none of these features are a benefit, then its just an expense.
@@artyomsichkar3457 For any kind of work including typing, coding, working with spread sheets, you want more vertical space. You can also fit more UI elements, toolbars, etc. on screen without it shrinking your usable working space too much. It's just more convenient than 16:9.
1. Tools that ease deployment. Enterprises might roll out 10 or 100 of these at a time. 2. Enterprises might want their IT departments to repair these in-house, so repair ability is also important.
I dont know, do you want to pay extra for Commercial BIOS support (Fleet management), Presence sensing security features, long life cycles of 4 or more years, and Windows 10 Pro? Are you taking it with you everywhere you go and need lightwight design? Are you trying to connect it to your business network? Are you trying to use vPro to remotely manage it from your vacation on the beach? Latitudes are meant to be managed at scale, where inspirons etc are not. (Dell Client Command Suite, natively run within SCCM, KACE, landesk(quest) etc.) If the answer to all these questions are no, then you must REALLY like it to pay that much for it. technology directors need solutions they can manage in a single pane of class 1:many, where consumers do not. 1:1.
Have you had any issues with support in the past? How long do you keep your laptops for? Do you need/want presence-sensing? Is lightweight and small important to you? Do you need NVMe PCIe SSD? If the answer to 2 or more of these, then you need to get the Dell, as it excells in these areas. If its about price, you could buy the Dell laptop by calling in and saying the company you are with and a rep will be assigned to "get you to budget." It works. Business discounts can be like 40-45% off.
There where some leaks on reddit about the 7410 does anybody have an idea what refresh that will be? unfortunately the 7400 is not available with the large battery. Also the version with i5 and 16GB RAM that i would be interested in is hardly available. Any screen updates? Lenovo uses really good screens.

@@bri1085 It's more just personal interest and what I'm sent to review. TBH, gaming laptop reviews are done to death and I'm not a hardcore gamer/find most gaming laptops hideous looking, so I review what I like. It's the fun part of my job, just covering what I think is interesting. I'm not normally even a Latitude guy, but this laptop does things that are really innovative - plus I personally have been using it for the last month because I like it so much. To me, that means something vs. just covering a laptop because it's something I have to do.

Absolutely Fabulous Video Thank You For The Work !!
For office business/admin work/remote work would you recommend this Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 or the Dell Precision 7540?
you can configure the thinkpad t480 with a 72Wh battery + the internal 24Wh, which is even bigger
Thanks for this good review.
It looks like a great productive and media consumption.
Not sure what's up with the trend of putting speakers on the bottom. Speakers on the top are always better.
True, but it gets quirky with a 2in1, if they were on top, the speakers are now facing backward and away. Many companies end up going with quad speakers to solve that.
@@WindowsCentral I have a Lenovo Yoga C930 and it has the smartest solution I've ever seen for a 2-in-1, not to mention the great quality sound it boasts.
Many offices don't have Wifi. Cabled connections are much better in India. So a LAN port would have helped so much.
Latitude 2 in 1: hardware and I/O
XPS : am I a joke to you
Yes, yes you are. The newest XPS 13 doesn't have USB-A ports or HDMI.

it also doesnt have Commercial BIOS support, so good luck managing a fleet of XPS natively within one payne of glass. Its business class so it can scale management dramatically. But if this is a benefit-less feature, then its just an expense.
Stuck between choosing Elitebook or latitude 7400
Lat
would you buy this notebook now, in 2021, at 900$ (new, i5 , 8GB ram, 256ssd) ? I found a unit remaining stock
where do they put DDR3 in it while its CPUs are really made for DDR4?
yea, everywhere says ddr4.
Is it still pretty good in 2024? Probably not.
Big question
Trying to get one is it good ?
??
pretty good review...helps a lot! :D
Try to decide between this one and the elitebook x360 1040. But that battery life is what really drives me towards the dell..
is it possible to upgrade the battery afterwards (since its not possible to configure it on the website in switzerland)?
TheTheMScope I was looking as well to have a 78WH in Europe...not possible. Did you find any way to buy it in Switzerland ?
@@luca-recallclothing9529 hey, no way. Not even the bigger battery is available somewhere :/ Now I have an eye on the new spectre x360 13" with the ice lake processor series. Should have a pretty good battery life too..
TheTheMScope I just saw reviews of the Lenovo Yoga C940. You should check it it looks impressive
@@luca-recallclothing9529 yeah...I also checked that out. I'll probably decide between the yoga c940 and the new spectre :)
Why the bigger battery option isnt available yet? Only see 52kwh options listed everywhere
Is that a Kensington lock? I think it's a Noble wedge lock, actually.
surface pro or this for college?
Surface Pro if you don't need thunderbolt, latitude if you do

HI! What is your wallpaper? that really looks cool
Is CAD okay with this?
Is the build quality on the same level like the Thinkpad x1 Yoga?
Premium business laptop....has 16:9 aspect ratio that is only good for watching videos and playing games. For work it should have been 16:10.
Can you explain why does it matter? I mean, literally. Your work software won't launch on a 16:9 screen?
@@artyomsichkar3457 For any kind of work including typing, coding, working with spread sheets, you want more vertical space. You can also fit more UI elements, toolbars, etc. on screen without it shrinking your usable working space too much. It's just more convenient than 16:9.
Which inches is it,I wanted to buy online but was waiting for it’s review but running software like arch-cad,math lab and auto cad
I lovd the video but you kept using dark videos all the time and that is making me think that the screen is bad
no 16:10 and it is just 300-350 NITs are a deal breaker for me (for a 2-in-1)
I still don't understand business-class laptops. This doesn't have anything that consumers wouldn't want, so what sets it apart?
Support (software and hardware) and more of a focus on specific features e.g. HDMI, LTE, MIL Spec testing, etc.
@@WindowsCentral Ah, makes sense. Forgot about those. Support is probably the bulk of the increased cost.
@@WindowsCentral yeah... Because what sane consumer would ever want convenient HDMI connectivity.... Oh wait...
