- Lisa Gade reviews the Dell Latitude 5400 14” mid-tier business Ultrabook. The laptop has a matte display (touch is optional), plenty of ports including Thunderbolt 3 and Ethernet, 2 RAM slots, optional 4G LTE and a pleasing keyboard. It runs Windows 10 on Intel 8th gen 15 watt CPUs with vPro available (Core i3 and quad core i5 and i7 options). It has a fingerprint scanner, optional Windows Hello IR camera, webcam privacy switch and an MS Precision trackpad.

I just ordered a refurbished version of this and found the review helpful. I’m going to upgrade to 32GB RAM and 1TB NVME. 8th gen version with upgrades for about $300. Can’t beat that!
Can you play games with that?
@@muhammedzain492 sorry I don’t know I have a high end desktop I use for FPS gaming. I wouldn’t have high expectations though.
Hello Internet friend, I'm considering buying one for school and coding, do you think it can handle that?
@@ahmadn23I’m honestly not sure what specs you would need for coding.
@@OShackHennessywhat about adobe premiere?
The most unfussy and to the point laptop reviews ever. Thank you for the great content. Thank you for not wasting anyone's time.
Me: Watching this video in Dell Latitude 5400..
can it run games such as fortnite warzone apex and pubg plz tell me
@@lolboi6771 yes
How did you get into it?
@@acedegenerate9654 wdym?
@@shebnabijoy3894 what about gta 5?
I'm at least glad to see UPGRADEABLE RAM and M.2 SSD in this laptop.
Yeah, where do you find that “feature“ these days? Nowasdays even the ssd is solderen onto the board smh
90% never upgrade.
@@imho4990 90% are stupid in believe in the Corinna plandemic.
I just realized that my work issued this laptop three months back. It has been solid. I am a heavy user like opening 1000 tabs in chrome and work in multiple VMs connected to 2 x Dell U27 monitors, cant complain for the ultrabook processor. It somewhat matches my p50 i7 workload in real life.
bro how to connnect 2 monitors can the usb c to hdmi also output display? the other one is in hdmi native
@@undulatus2 I have a dock that connects to both monitors. Alternatively you can daisy chain monitors -- your monitor should support MST/daisy chaining.
Just got this laptop for work with the i5, 8gb ram, and a 256gb SSD. As a tech guy I was just curious about it, and im impressed using it!
Brand new ?
What do you use it for?
Boah And Arrows Productions I work for a financial services corporation so nothing too intensive. I mostly just have loads of apps running at once and the ssd helps for when i need to pull files quickly
@@LoboLakerGaming Thank you for your reply. I definitely understand that. With the quickness of the SSD that be very handy.
Well, after we used them for a few months at our office, I can safely say that the previous gen (5490) was better build and designed. Every single user complained about noise and heat. They sound like vacuum cleaners and regularly go over 90 degrees. Build quality is sub standard, some are coming brand new in the box and have bend chassis, factory damaged screens and on some cases batteries are not detected by the motherboard. And as you mentioned, screen is not really bright and some people struggle with it. I hope Dell fixes the issues in the new model this year.
I've had mine for a couple of months now. The heat and noise is the first thing I noticed. The fan sometimes turns on for no apparent reason (when I am simply web browsing). The computer gets way too hot. I currently have the asus g14 and it is much better.
Lisa's reviews are anything but generic. This one, as is true of all her reviews, continues to perpetuate the platinum standard for technical reviews.
Bien dicho.
5:04 Still not the ThinkPad keyboard. After ThinkPads, Latitudes are my second option. Thank you Lisa for the review. Regards from Italy.
I agree 100%. Definitely the best laptops out there. I mean Apples are on par performance-wise but they're too much of a ripoff and the keyboard suck.
Is the good to use thinkpad or dell latitude?
The dream laptop. I’ll buy one used one they come down in price. Love the upgrade path
A QHD screen option for this and most other 12-15 in laptops would be welcome. Big boost for every day use, leave 4k to graphics people needing fine detail.
Dell latitude model shape is evolving into Lenovo thinkpad shape???
I like the replaceable ram and ssd. Good to see
I do love these series of laptops. I have both an XPS 15, and a Latitude 5491 (the 4 core 45 watt, Nvidia MX130 version) the huge problem and probably my only true problem with these are the thin coolers. I've had to modify mine just to keep them cool enough without throttling. I don't understand this trend with paper thin coolers. What good is it to spend an extra $250 bucks to basically get the same performance because of throttling. It's highly disappointing. I might expect a thin and light to throttle a little, god knows Apples does. But after modifying the heatsinks thermals are much better. Dell isn't the only one doing this. Lenovo is far worse with this problem. But I was able to refectify much of this by using conductive pads and quality thermal paste. XPS is a much easier fix because of the aluminum bottom plate. But for a sub $2400 laptop, it's very upsetting. For the price you might as well just stick to the lower end of the CPU spectrum or get one with with a U series. Unless of course you love paying good money for very little gains. Other then that, these are awesome notebooks. Built like tanks. I love it.
Second drive (m.2 2242 SATA) can be added via HDD connector at 6:54 & M.2 NGFF To SATA adapter (5.5cm*4.0cm) in most of Latitude 54xx series
I'm still using a Latitude E6420 (like new in my opinion) and I changed the keyboard. After 2-3 owners the matte display is perfect. For other people it might seem like a crappy laptop, but it's a tough HQ desktop for me.
The improvements in CPU performance and power consumption, plus faster USB, higher RAM capacity and NVMe are something you should seriously look at. The E series is utterly outclassed at this point by just about any current spec Latitude.
The one and ONLY thing I miss about the older models is the docks. the Dell USB C & Thunderbolt docks are at best inconsistent.
That said, Startech's docks play nicely and have better multi-monitor support.
Wow! Mobile Tech Reviews and Lisa. I haven't seen you for years. You used to be a go to for me, I wonder what happened? Anyway, I'm back on the MBT train now. Many thanks.
My former employer sold me this laptop for $100 with 512SSD GB & 16GB RAM & it is a powerhouse!
Damn
It is very fast and it's a must have.
Looks like some fantastic bang for your buck and looks like a real viable contender to the ThinkPad when it comes to the GOAT laptop!
Yeah got this over thinkpad
currently looking at some refurb laptops. you opening it up and showing the 2 ram slots is OP.
I don't know why, but I like what I see.
0 dislikes on the video....
*Now that makes me happy*
You have brought wrath on the sacred land!
Aaaaand now there's sadly 1 dislike
You jinxed it
Now it's at 2😒
Well. . . Who's gonna tell him?
I have the same but company issued laptop. It’s a decent machine and reasonably fast with 16gb ram and 256gb ssd.
Ho much is it ?
Honestly this laptop can run games and i am happy about that
Straight to the point. Thank you.
Lisa's the GOAT. Change my mind.
You're right
An amazing review once again, sounds very beneficial for an artist. Can you make a review on Dell Precision 5540 ?
Excellent review. The 54xx series has been my fav for some time.
Tullius sorry this is random,
As you have left the most recent comment I have a question if you can answer.
I purchased a hp latitude 5400 2019
The issue is instead of a camera it has two holes. Is that normal? Do they also make them without the cameras?
Thanks.
Make it a convertible and i will buy it!
No shiny display, lots of slots, good specs nice build quality... i miss this in the recent lenovo thinkpad yoga updates -.-
Dell, always a good bang.
Do you plan to review the Lenovo Flex 14 2-in-1 (AMD Ryzen 5 3500U)?
*sees laptop*: beautiful
*sees t-shirt*: oh yeah
I dont understand this shirt
@@natriumnatrium711 it's generic
@@luciojb SO the t-shirt is a generic costume ... so its just a costume for everything? is that the joke?
Hi Lisa, thanks for the review! You mention the 5400 is good on fan noise and remains quite. In your 5300 video, you said it has a tendency to get hot and ramp up the fan. Can you elaborate? Thanks
Just so you know: this is a business laptop :)
these are the best laptops on my schools bruh we playing minecraft education in 60 fps while the teacher not knowing
I enjoyed the latitude series, i still have 2 e series that work good. I use it for browsing, watcing videos, chatting with friends, and a lot of basics. No gaming, thats what my consoles are for. But the latitude series is a solid line.
in the light of the CES AMD presentation regarding the Ryzen 4000, I see no reason why anyone should buy any available laptop/notebook on the market. This one included. Wait it out a few months.
George GL buying a brand new laptop costs so much money even if I can afford one. I usually buy a used entreprise laptop like an Dell E5450 and upgraded it to the max.
*in light of
Sorry, I had to 😪
Congrats for the great reviews. What would you recommend? Acer Spin 5 or Dell Latitude 5400? You have reviewed both. Thanks for any advise you can provide.
Did you already make your decision. I hope you did not buy the Dell. I have the Dell Latitude 5400 and I would not recommend this laptop.
Are dell latutide 5410 good enough for developing web and apps?
@@jesusb9562 Whats wrong with dell?
Yaay! Cool shirts are back 👍👍
What is the deal with so many modern laptops STILL using HDMI v1.4 ports?! v2.0 has been around for a while now, and every modern processor has no problem driving a 4K/60hz desktop on a secondary screen. I refuse to buy laptops with HDMI v1.4 nowadays, and I can't imagine I'm the only one like that. It's a deal-breaker.
using one for work now since the office changed to this model-- its not bad but the battery life seems absolutely abysmal for no reason
hey, love your videos and T shirts! Can you recommend some good color space coverage laptops without breaking the bank? I am an amateur photographer, and would like to edit on the go. Thanks in advance
These things are great buys now as refurbished laptops
I buy older dell laptops (5490) because they are repairable, and use them until forced replacement by OS obsolescence.
The bottom access cover is difficult to remove, and breaks very easily.
Also, the Realtek audio hardware/driver performance is poor, and no updates have been done to mitigate it. Although my needs do not require much in a laptop, I will be more careful in the future.
Dell Vostro or Lattitude are very good ang stong built, but the bad small Key-board makes the Laptop Useless to me.
Could you give me advice about which laptop should i choose. Latitude 5410 or latitude 7390. Which is the better for working? Developing websites!!
I'm a comp science student, and i just bought 5400
777k subscribers, really nice Lisa.
This number remind me of the monica geller .... Seven... Seven........... Seven... Scene
F.R.I.E.N.D.S Fan
I just picked up the 5410 and it has not one, but two heat pipes. Seems to handle heat even better then the 5400 that was already pretty decent.
Why do you have the laptop in your hand but are showing videos from other places, what’s the whole point
each time i am using this 5400 i cruse myself waist money on this , it is really brainbreaking working with it.
This seems like less value for the money than ThinkPad right now, is there something I am missing that this does better?
This is cheaper than thinkpad
Great value for money. Hard to fault.
Hi Lisa, thanks for the review. Does this have soft touch paint or coating on the front? Interested, but the previous gens always started peeling off. Thanks in advance!
I wonder if there is a video, which shows the difference between Dell Precision 5540 and 5530, or also between Dell Latitude, also between Dell XPS
I'm searching 1 good laptop for Photoshop CC digital painting / art works and for animation, animation on TVpaint, opentoonz n etc., also to use Adobe Premier and AfterEffects. Btw I love your video reviews, always watching them, cuz it helps a lot with information and choosing a right product !🙌 so thank you a lot !
Hi Leo! Do yo buy Dell Latitude 5400 for your work? I want this model for make maps.
Great laptop for IT Pros
ok but $800 for 768p and an i3 is a bit steep. The rest seems pretty nice, I'm not questioning it.
Business laptops are expensive compared to consumer models, for sure.
Can you please review the HP Envy 32 AiO??
We just got a shipment of these in at my work and I absolutely hate them. The 5490 was a better laptop imo.
What do you dislike about the 5400?
You should try the Fujitsu u939x! Think about doing a review for that, mobile tech review.
I’m looking at this,the seller said it’s fine for photo editing with Topaz De Noise
Would you agree?
waiting for my 4800u reviews
Please can you share the difference in 3400 and 5400 series. Which one is best as a business class?
Dell Laptops Are Good
Hello how are you?
Thanks for your great effort. I hope you will answer my question about .... (Can I add a graphic card) in such a device?
Yes an external gpu can be added but the bracket costs lot much but friend it still runs good games like gta at 30 fops
Can I use a 2.5" HDD and a NVMe simultaneously? I know it supports both devices, but I'm not sure if the BIOS would recognize both at the same time...
i brought this one and I wanna know is this backlit keyboard? thanks in advanced.
They are still way behind thinkpads but they sure are trying to maximize their revenue by offering less at a cheaper price.
If I get the version with usb type c (not thunderbolt 3) can I connect and charge to a usb monitor through usb c alone? Thanks.
This or the latitude 7490? Which has the better keyboard and display?
I have the same laptop but having a lot of troubles in connecting bluetooth
Does the version with the usb type c 3.1 gen 2 port connect to a usb c monitor and display and charge through that port?
How to backlight keyboard
When you remove the screws from the bottom cover, do you still have to pry it open or does it come right off easily?
Pry, start from the back centre. The screws stay in place should you be up-grading the ram, an easy fix hth.
where is the refresh button.
Why did Dell not change its proper charge port to usb-c? It is much more versatile, especially if you have a smartphone/power bank/camera with the same port.
you can charge with the USB C port as well
@@PaulNolan thanks
Is the Latitude 3400 made of carbon fibre too?
Why isn’t there a hardware dock station port?
All I had to see was 222 nits, goodbye for me
Same here 😂
I have this laptop at work. Brightness is fine but I only ever use it indoors.
A matte display may be fine with that. Best to check it out in person
How to connect 2 monitors can one be in hdmi and the other in USB to HDMI??
What microphone are you using?
Is the good to use thinkpad or dell latitude?
Who here uses the vPro feature of the CPU? Still do not fully understand vPro feature. I know the i5 10400H is compatible with it.
What is the price of this laptop
how do i regain access to my laptop i need help please
This or 7490 with same configuration?
This because the 7490 has heating and fan noise issue....this is even better thermally than 7400...only thing less is screen has less srgb but very correct one..you gottta make a choice and this is more durable long time...also this is less thin but its few mm not a problem
From Egypt 🇪🇬 you are the 👌
watchin on dell latitude 5400
Sim card is present in the laptop?
do all dell latitude 5400 i7 8665u have fingerprint?
Overall of the laptop it look good.
The only stupid design are keyboard. The new design of the F1 to F11 button really non-sense, you need to press fn + F1 ... F11. Besides that, the Home & End button was place in top right, the best fit location of the design should be close left & right key button.
Meanwhile, the F1 & F11 key are important to programmer, those are the main keyboard use in daily work. Imagine, now they need to press Fn + F5 for thousand of line item debugging, this might cause the an inconvenient to them and slow down the debugging speed.
how many cells does the battery have?
how can i on the keyboard light
This one or Dell 5490 model? Thanks..
does the dell active pen work with it?
I have this laptop dont know why but i am facing motion blur/ghosting screen when i play videos or when i move the mouse cursor even in games also if anybody knows about the problem than plz help

Interesting model to work instead game
can I add an external gpu in my latitude 5400
