The unit I tried had a 2.1-megapixel 1080p webcam with a proximity sensor. I was a bit disappointed in the camera—even though it’s higher resolution than the 720p cameras I see on a lot of machines, the video was a bit softer in focus and had more of a tendency to whiteout than I’d like. It's adequate, but the cameras in the machines I've most recently tested from both Lenovo and HP are better than what I've seen from Dell. Installing our Health-Guard profile not only eliminates PWM but also reduces the harmful Blue Light emissions while keeping the colors of the screen perceptually accurate. If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin, and your whole body. You can find more information about that in our dedicated article on Blue Light. Conclusions

Note: For a more detailed description about each location, please go to the system manuals at www.dell.com/manuals Table of Contents: On price, the HP EliteBook 1040 G4 is a good fit, even if it is still using Intel 7th-gen silicon on that model. The design of the case remains true to its predecessor, but the look, feel, and structure of the ports have been fundamentally changed. Most noticeable is the rubberized finish on the lid and the entire interior. Even the varnished carbon fiber baseplate feels duller than mere varnish, although the same coating is not used here. The skin rests non-slip and securely on these surfaces, fingerprints remain unnoticeable, and the 1.3 kg device feels secure when used or carried.

There is no longer a 4K option for the screen, nor is there a touch for the clamshell 7420. On the other hand, our 400-nits IPS is just as bright, has wide viewing angles (Comfy View Plus), covers sRGB, and has a strong contrast of 1,800:1. The 4K panel of our former 7410 version was not missed; the high resolution is rarely needed for Office applications.

Whether you choose the convertible or clamshell version of the Latitude 9420, the chassis stays mostly the same. It measures 0.54 by 12.2 by 8.5 inches (HWD), which makes it compact enough to compete with many alternative corporate machines that have smaller 13-inch screens, let alone 14-inchers. For instance, the 13-inch Dell Latitude 7320 2-in-1 is 0.67 by 12.1 by 8 inches. The ThinkPad X1 Yoga measures 0.59 by 12 by 8.5 inches.

Standard wireless connections include Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E, which means the laptop is capable of operating on 6Hz channels that are now available for Wi-Fi networking. Few other devices such as routers support this protocol yet, but once they do, the Latitude 9420 will be ready. You can also configure the system with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 or X55 cellular modem; the latter supports the 5G networks of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile and uses a micro SIM card. As a direct successor to the 14-inch Latitude 7410 from 2020, the Latitude 7420 in 2022 brings a multitude of changes both inside and out. Only the case design remains the same except for the color scheme and texture. It is an upper mid-range business subnotebook that sits between the smaller Latitude 5000 series and the flagship Latitude 9000 series. Our temperature development and power consumption results below show that the maximum power consumption of the CPU in the Dell is 50 watts ("Ultra Performance" mode). The CPU also heats up to almost 90 °C, which suggests that the 64-watt PL2 is not achievable under low temperatures. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.8 ms). Our specific test model is a mid-range SKU with Core i5-1145G7 CPU and 512 GB SSD for around 1,400 Euros.In terms of resolution, Dell's 14-inch laptop only has the FHD option (1,920 x 1,080), which is always anti-glare. On the other hand, Dell sells five different display options, which differ in detail, for example, in the presence of WWAN antennas, ComfortView Plus, or a particularly high brightness of 400 cd/m². The choice of display also determines whether you want an IR camera for Face Login.

The Latitude 9420 2-in-1's time in our battery rundown test was admirable, at more than 14 hours; the system should easily get you through a full day of work away from a wall outlet, which the ThinkPad X1 Yoga might not be able to do. But it's a far cry from the nearly 24-and-a-half hours that last year's Latitude 9410 2-in-1 managed with its optional large battery. Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location. Lastly, the bottom panel is home to the speaker cutouts and the ventilation grill, which is placed right beneath the cooling fan. In this case, the heat is being exhausted from the left side of the notebook. The Latitude 9420 2-in-1's audio experience is above average for such a compact laptop. This is thanks in part to the speaker layout: two speakers fire upward through grilles flanking the keyboard, while two fire downward through the bottom cover. A total of four noise-cancelling microphones also help with audio quality, automatically adjusting echo cancellation, gain, and noise reduction. inch, FHD 1920 x 1080, 60 Hz, anti-reflection, anti-smudge, touch, Corning ® Gorilla Glass ® 6 DXC, 100% sRGB, 300 nits, wide-viewing angle, narrow bent, super low power, active pen support Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
