Design in every detail super Best of all Latitude 5420 i7
Smaller and lighter: We’ve shrunk the dimensions of the Latitude 5000 series without sacrificing power or performance.
Ultimate views: The display is packed with features designed to keep you focused on your work with four-sided narrow bezels, an anti-glare screen and a camera shutter for privacy. Plus, get up to 400 nits of brightness and ComfortView Plus, an always-on, built-in low blue light solution that reduces harmful blue light while delivering excellent color. TÜV Rheinland certified.
Our most sustainable Latitude: The Latitude 5000 Series use 21% bioplastics from trees within the lid by utilizing Tall Oil from the papermaking process.
The overall manufacturing process creates a lower carbon, energy and water footprint, reducing CO2 emissions equal to 24.2 million miles driven, saving energy to power 5,564 homes for a year, and conserving enough water to fill 226 Olympic-size pools.
Work fast, stay cool: Dell’s unique Dual Opposite Outlet fans provide revolutionary cooling in a compact size. Side venting increases efficiency and maximizes airflow to improve system response time, battery life and quietness. Additionally, IT can manage thermals within the BIOS, which saves on storage size and allows IT to focus on other work.

Pros:
Solid Business-Grade Build
Durable military-grade (MIL-STD-810H) certification—resistant to shocks, dust, and extreme temperatures.
Sturdy chassis with a professional look.
Good Performance (11th Gen Intel i7-1165G7)
Quad-core i7-1165G7 (up to 4.7GHz Turbo) handles office tasks, multitasking, and light creative work well.
16GB RAM & 512GB SSD provide smooth performance for most business applications.
Decent Battery Life
Around 7-9 hours on moderate use (depends on workload and settings).
Supports ExpressCharge (quick charging).
Security & Manageability
Fingerprint reader, IR camera (Windows Hello), TPM 2.0, and Dell SafeBIOS.
Optional smart card reader & contactless NFC for enterprise security.
Port Selection
Thunderbolt 4 (x1), USB-A (x3), HDMI, Ethernet (via optional dock), microSD, and headphone jack.
Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth 5.1 for fast wireless connectivity.
Cons:
Older 11th Gen CPU (vs. 12th/13th Gen in newer models)
The i7-1165G7 is still capable but less efficient than newer 12th/13th Gen Intel chips (like the i7-1255U in the 7430).
No 16:10 Aspect Ratio (Unlike Latitude 7430)
14″ FHD (1920×1080) 16:9 display—good but lacks the extra vertical space of newer 16:10 panels.
Average Graphics Performance
Intel Iris Xe (G7) is fine for office work but struggles with demanding tasks like video editing or gaming.
Limited Upgradeability
RAM is soldered (non-upgradable in most configurations).
Only one SSD slot (but supports up to 2TB).
Shorter Warranty (1 Year vs. 3 Years on Some Models)
Only 1-year basic warranty (can be extended for extra cost).
Verdict:
The Dell Latitude 5420 is a solid business laptop with good performance, security, and durability, but it’s showing its age compared to newer 12th/13th Gen models.
Rating: 4.0/5
✅ Best for: Corporate users, remote workers, and professionals needing a reliable but slightly older business laptop.
❌ Not ideal for: Users needing cutting-edge performance or modern features like a 16:10 display.
Alternatives:
