My employer got me a basic 7400 as a desktop replacement. It’s great I split my day between docked in my cubicle or laptop mode in the lab where I use it to update test reports in real time. It’s a battery life champ. Never have to worry about bringing the charger with me. In the cube it’s 1 cable usb-c docked.
Thanks Lisa, I just picked up a Dell Refurbished 7300 for my daughter to use for school. I'd consider this to be overkill for this purpose, but i5, 8Gb, 256nvme40, 1920x1080 touch, 10Pro with 3Yr next day warranty for $787 (US) I'm wrapt with that based off your excellent review which helped me decide.
Does the 7400 2 in 1 charge faster than the regular 7400 due to the USB-C charger port? Also, at 3:25, why do the colors on the 2 in 1 look so bad in comparison to the regular?
@@mobiletechreview It's a shame! Why they take so long? They presented it at the beginning of this year and it took 6 months to make it available. Now it will take another 3 month for review units =_=". Creating to much hype is deleterious for me as a buyer.
Sad to hear that Dell's fingerprint reader continue being subpar. I had hoped when i heard they were redesigning it for this series, but apparently they just can't do it right on the latitude series.
I am extremely excited to see that the aluminum is back! Don't get me wrong, I like the carbon fiber but I have missed the aluminum since the e6400 series. But no checkpoint?! My gosh! Now I wonder if Dell is going to release a 5401 in aluminum? I have the 5491 with 6 core and Nvidia graphics, that thing gets fairly toasty but I would love to have something in aluminum again. I like the new design language too.
Hi Lisa, I'm a big fan of your work. I was just wondering whether are you going to review the latitude 7310 (10th gen Intel) or is it too similar to the 7300 to get is own review?
Thx Lisa and thx Dell. No soldered RAM and other shit. Huge plus for the easy upgrade- and servicability. Only minus: Why no full size RJ45 port? Good bye Lenovo, hello Dell!
I own a 7490 with touchscreen and LTE and run a 7390 with touchscreen at work. I have no intention of upgrading because they removed a critical feature for my work: The RJ-45 Ethernet port! Why? Just how many mm did they shave off of the device with this omision?
@@juleswilko trust me, you’re better-off having it built-in than 1 more dongle to lose. Plus, the USB-port is a bottleneck. (When it (ie. the USB port) is at a slower-speed than the device you are trying to connect into it). It’s been proven on alot of devices. When you can get built-in, get it built-in.
I still have my dell latitude e6400 atg from 2010. I'm really needing an upgrade for school in a few weeks. I haven't watched the video yet, but it seems like these are great laptops.
Hey Lisa, there is a difference in bottom part materials between 7400 2-in-1 and 7400, with 7400 looking more like plastic? And 2-in-1 having brushed aluminium design both on the lid and at the bottom. Can you confirm that aluminium 7400 is indeed unibody aluminium and not just the lid cover with plastic bottom? (as it was a case with Lenovo X1 Yoga 4th gen with WWAN modem)
I was looking for a 7320 detachable and pen review, but I guess no luck. I am having problems with writing with the pen compared to my 2017 surface, but I don't know if it's just me or a setting. Everyone only seems to have unboxing videos. This is a work laptop.
Hi Lisa, interested in buying a 13-14" 2-in-1 with the 10th Gen processors. Once the new XPS 13 2-in-1 and the Yoga C940 are out, I hope you'll consider doing a review of both (and a smackdown too)! I've used your reviews to make purchasing decisions in the past and hope to do so again!

I just got the Latitude 7300 for $250 and hope it wasn't a bad purchase for 2021. Thanks for this incredible review!
How’s the laptop been?
It is worth buying in 2024?
I just wish manufacturers would also compete on the quality of the keyboards and not just performance and thinness.

Can we do programming with this laptop?
Is it just me, but I love the sturdy and robust design look that business line models have over the slim and "sexy" consumer line models.
Now T490 is step behind
Did you notice if the aluminum finish is less likely to show fingerprints?
This is right for me. I don’t want ultra thin stylish laptop. I want solid notebook that handles demanding tasks

Finally Dell has brought back some style to these models! The last good looking laptops were the 7240 and 7440.
Which my mom has! The e7440
These or the Elitebook 1030G3/1040G5
Lisa, I am considering a Latitude 7400 or Precision 3541. Any comment on the pros and cons of each?
Chintzy gray bezel is not 7xxx series worthy. They only belong on $200 laptops.

These Chiclet keyboards are terrible! I miss the square keys from the e62xx -> e65xx series. Now those computers were solid!
I agree...feels like your typing on a hard surface.
I feel the Chiclet keyboards up to e7490 were great. This ones here reminds me of those Inspiron keyboards.
I own a 7490 with touchscreen and LTE and run a 7390 with touchscreen at work.

What matters is the hardware that comes inside the laptop.
If it’s powerful-enough to do programming in/with.
