Product Information

Prior to testing, we updated all drivers and the BIOS via the manufacturer's software and Windows Update.

One may think that the thick chassis provides enough room for a good cooling solution, which should in turn allow for an aggressive TDP. Computers always had an important place in my life, starting with an Intel 80286 microprocessor in the early 1990s.The rear of the laptop houses an HDMI, two Ethernet ports (one of which is optional), a serial RS-232 port, a lock slot, a DisplayPort and an exposed power input. Enjoy seamless integration into your IT environment and rest easy knowing that Latitude E-Family laptops—and your company data—are secure and protected anywhere in the world. Get longer battery life when you choose the Super Low Power panel, which consumes less power than a standard display without impacting the brightness of the screen. Unfortunately, it’s clear the Latitude 5420 is built for companies that often don’t even purchase laptops but instead lease them on contract.

The transmission speeds of the Intel AX201 do not quite meet our expectations, even when considering peak values. To start, there’s the CIE 1976 Uniform Chromaticity Diagram that represents the visible specter of colors by the human eye, giving you a better perception of the color gamut coverage and the color accuracy.The small 256-GB SSD has turned out to be a particular annoyance during our testing, since only 105 GB of storage was available after the upgrade to Windows 11 - far from enough for our game and application benchmarks. Plus, get up to 300 nits of brightness and ComfortView Plus, an always-on, built-in low blue light solution that reduces harmful blue light while delivering excellent color. That's a definite perk, because the display's exceptional luminance is not only handy outdoors, but it also showcases the panel's vivid colors.
