The Dell Latitude 5420 is a robust 14-inch business laptop designed for professionals seeking reliability, performance, and portability. Powered by 11th Gen Intel Core processors (i3, i5, or i7, with base frequencies like 2.6 GHz for i5-1145G7 or 3.0 GHz for i7-1185G7, boosting up to 4.8 GHz), it ensures smooth multitasking and efficient handling of demanding workloads. Configurations offer 8GB to 32GB DDR4 RAM and 256GB to 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs, providing ample memory and fast storage for business applications. The 14-inch FHD (1920x1080) IPS display, available in touch and non-touch variants, delivers crisp visuals with 250 nits brightness and anti-glare coating, ideal for prolonged work and video conferencing.
Equipped with Intel Iris Xe Graphics, the Latitude 5420 supports dual 4K or a single 8K external display via Thunderbolt 4 ports, enhancing productivity. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, optional 4G LTE, and ports like USB 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet. Security features, such as a fingerprint reader, IR webcam with facial recognition, and smart card readers, safeguard sensitive data. The 63Wh battery supports ExpressCharge, reaching 80% in an hour, and offers up to 12 hours of runtime, perfect for mobile professionals.
Weighing just 3.1 pounds and measuring 0.82 inches thick, its durable chassis withstands pressure without compromising portability. The backlit keyboard aids low-light typing, though the clickpad lacks the tactile feedback of older models, drawing mixed reviews. Running Windows 10 or 11 Pro, it’s tailored for enterprise needs with Intel vPro support for manageability. While no longer available directly from Dell, refurbished units are priced around $600-$650 in 2025 markets, offering value for performance-driven professionals.
