awesome job Steve, great content and really like the way you breakdown the Precision 5470 to the component level, I will make sure to share this with my teams and customers.
Great video. Nice to see Dell finally bring high performance to the compact workstation laptop market. I've just received my 5470 and as a professional engineer I much appreciate being able to easily bring this much power with me on the go. It very much reminds me of the days when Sony dominated this segment with their amazing Sony Vaio Z series from 2011 which also featured powerful CPUs and thunderbolt for external GPU - that design was years ahead of its time but that unfortunately ended too early with the demise of Sonys laptop business. Now Dell has the opportunity to pick up that mantle. The Sony engineers went extreme with their Vaio Z weight, only ca. 1.2kg yet it was a beast of a powerful CPU laptop for its time. However, I can appreciate the extra ca. 300g that Dell brings with a more sturdy aluminum chassis and dedicated GPU. To me the 5470 is almost perfect. To be perfect would require an AMD option featuring one of AMDs future mobile APUs which are planned to marry CPU and more powerful GPU in the same mobile chip for maximum mobile performance. After all, AMD is still the performance/watt king and for guys like me that use Linux for work and play, AMD is also the better open source choice.
Thank you for the comment and I hope you enjoy the 5470. Dell did just release the Tower 7865 with the AMD Threadripper so maybe a future Mobile AMD base Precision is not out of the question, but that is well above my pay grade. I will pass the feedback on to the Product Group.
Thank you for watching. 2.5 years ago when people shifted to working from home there was no longer ambient office noise to help block or offset some of the noise, couple that with collaboration applications that were resource hogs and you go a lot of fan noise. The machines weren't necessarily louder we were just working in quieter spaces. With improvements in the thermals, the way the processors now handle the applications and the way the software is written, it has gotten better. Dell does have an app called "Dell Power Manager" which includes a piece to help manage performance, system surface temperature, and fan noise. It can be downloaded from the Dell.com support page.
@@notthatsteve Finaly got my latitude 5420 with i7. Have to admit that the fan sounds exactly the same as old latitude 5490 with i5. That is just a little bit noisier than old latitude 5450 with i5. Loved to find that out personaly.
Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me. I’m considering purchasing this model and have a question regarding the keyboard: is it possible to use Fn+left/right arrow keys as Home/End keys? I know some laptops with this keyboard layout have had these shortcuts enabled while others haven't. Would you mind checking and letting me know?
Perfect video thank you. The camera should be improved. A lot of cameras these days are using 1080 P wise to rely on 720 P above from that is powerful machine.
Great review and some new perspectives on CPU management. It's a great formfactor and gfx configuration that should meet high demand, 14" is where it is at for me. However, Dell spec options are so limiting that either you are paying about $3.5k preconfigured without touch (32GB/1TB+FHD+ProsupportPlus) or well over $6k to get a version with touch screen +4K and decent memory - it's insane. I would never buy one of these without ProSupport Plus as my first Precision laptop was 20 years ago and it was delivered with a defective motherboard. Dell support came out with a replacement sharpish, and it lasted 5 years with no further problems. Nevertheless, 5470 is a great package but the price is going to hurt.
I like the 14-15" workstation with id smartcard and sd card reader. But workstation would still get the job done with cheaper components. 12500h is still a fast CPU that is also benefiting from 32+ GB RAM, here it has only 8Gb, like macbook. 1TB SSD does not need to cost 500€. Good screen is a must. The RTX 3050 and 3060 also have nVidia studio certificates. SD card reader should be fastest possible. I would pick cheaper slower RAM over faster, if i can have more it. In desktop i had 128GB for 350€, all work got done even at 2133Mhz.
I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. The i5-12500H is a nice CPU but being tied to 8G of RAM will be the bottle neck. My guess is, once 13th gen is launched in the commercial space this Spring, you will see more i5 options along with 64G options tied to the other procs. As for the GPU one of the tenants of Precision vs XPS is professional cards "Quadro" vs consumer cards "GeForce" which is a whole other conversation.

The best video ive seen on the 5470/5480 laptops, much further in-depth than the coverage by major channels. Great job.
Well Done Video if anyone knows about Dell products it's Steve!
Agree - very incredible. Stunning performance and design.
awesome job Steve, great content and really like the way you breakdown the Precision 5470 to the component level, I will make sure to share this with my teams and customers.
Great job Steve! I learned a lot and loved the F150 analogy.
Great intro to a wicked-fast little POWERHOUSE
Great job Steve! This will be helpful to get to our customers in this virtual work world!!!
Well done Steve! Amazing job. Really great content.
Fantastic video! Easy to follow and informative. Thanks!
Love the product, very well put together video
Thank you for this detailed review.

14:13 that cooler sound. I suppose all 5000+ latitudes and precisions love to be loud

Awesome video.....great job Steve!!
This is great! Thanks Steve!
Great video Steve! Loving my 5470!!! #iworkfordell

Do the fans get loud? How are they under normal operation? I appreciate like the silence of fan-less systems but they are not as powerful.
Great content. Please do one on the 5770 with nvidia A2000
Well done!!
Do you mean the 3470 in the 3000 series?

Sharp laptop!!!!
Really informative. However, I’m surprised this machine supposedly have such a good thermal capability when the XPS 15 is a hot mess.
