Dell Latitude 5400 Review 

The most unfussy and to the point laptop reviews ever. Thank you for the great content. Thank you for not wasting anyone's time.

Second drive (m.2 2242 SATA) can be added via HDD connector at 6:54 & M.2 NGFF To SATA adapter (5.5cm*4.0cm) in most of Latitude 54xx series

I just realized that my work issued this laptop three months back. It has been solid. I am a heavy user like opening 1000 tabs in chrome and work in multiple VMs connected to 2 x Dell U27 monitors, cant complain for the ultrabook processor. It somewhat matches my p50 i7 workload in real life.

Do you plan to review the Lenovo Flex 14 2-in-1 (AMD Ryzen 5 3500U)?

A QHD screen option for this and most other 12-15 in laptops would be welcome. Big boost for every day use, leave 4k to graphics people needing fine detail.

Hi Lisa, thanks for the review! You mention the 5400 is good on fan noise and remains quite. In your 5300 video, you said it has a tendency to get hot and ramp up the fan. Can you elaborate? Thanks

I just ordered a refurbished version of this and found the review helpful. I’m going to upgrade to 32GB RAM and 1TB NVME. 8th gen version with upgrades for about $300. Can’t beat that!

Dell latitude model shape is evolving into Lenovo thinkpad shape???

The dream laptop. I’ll buy one used one they come down in price. Love the upgrade path

I'm at least glad to see UPGRADEABLE RAM and M.2 SSD in this laptop.

Can I use a 2.5" HDD and a NVMe simultaneously? I know it supports both devices, but I'm not sure if the BIOS would recognize both at the same time...

Wow! Mobile Tech Reviews and Lisa. I haven't seen you for years. You used to be a go to for me, I wonder what happened? Anyway, I'm back on the MBT train now. Many thanks.

Does the version with the usb type c 3.1 gen 2 port connect to a usb c monitor and display and charge through that port?

If I get the version with usb type c (not thunderbolt 3) can I connect and charge to a usb monitor through usb c alone? Thanks.

currently looking at some refurb laptops. you opening it up and showing the 2 ram slots is OP.

Straight to the point. Thank you.

Well, after we used them for a few months at our office, I can safely say that the previous gen (5490) was better build and designed. Every single user complained about noise and heat. They sound like vacuum cleaners and regularly go over 90 degrees. Build quality is sub standard, some are coming brand new in the box and have bend chassis, factory damaged screens and on some cases batteries are not detected by the motherboard. And as you mentioned, screen is not really bright and some people struggle with it. I hope Dell fixes the issues in the new model this year.

Can you please review the HP Envy 32 AiO??

Please can you share the difference in 3400 and 5400 series. Which one is best as a business class?

An amazing review once again, sounds very beneficial for an artist. Can you make a review on Dell Precision 5540 ?

This or the latitude 7490? Which has the better keyboard and display?

How to connect 2 monitors can one be in hdmi and the other in USB to HDMI??

Excellent review. The 54xx series has been my fav for some time.

I do love these series of laptops. I have both an XPS 15, and a Latitude 5491 (the 4 core 45 watt, Nvidia MX130 version) the huge problem and probably my only true problem with these are the thin coolers. I've had to modify mine just to keep them cool enough without throttling. I don't understand this trend with paper thin coolers. What good is it to spend an extra $250 bucks to basically get the same performance because of throttling. It's highly disappointing. I might expect a thin and light to throttle a little, god knows Apples does. But after modifying the heatsinks thermals are much better. Dell isn't the only one doing this. Lenovo is far worse with this problem. But I was able to refectify much of this by using conductive pads and quality thermal paste. XPS is a much easier fix because of the aluminum bottom plate. But for a sub $2400 laptop, it's very upsetting. For the price you might as well just stick to the lower end of the CPU spectrum or get one with with a U series. Unless of course you love paying good money for very little gains. Other then that, these are awesome notebooks. Built like tanks. I love it.

Just got this laptop for work with the i5, 8gb ram, and a 256gb SSD. As a tech guy I was just curious about it, and im impressed using it!

I like the replaceable ram and ssd. Good to see

does the dell active pen work with it?

i brought this one and I wanna know is this backlit keyboard? thanks in advanced.

do all dell latitude 5400 i7 8665u have fingerprint?

5:04 Still not the ThinkPad keyboard. After ThinkPads, Latitudes are my second option. Thank you Lisa for the review. Regards from Italy.

Me: Watching this video in Dell Latitude 5400..

how do i regain access to my laptop i need help please

This one or Dell 5490 model? Thanks..

Yaay! Cool shirts are back 👍👍

It is very fast and it's a must have.

Why isn’t there a hardware dock station port?

I enjoyed the latitude series, i still have 2 e series that work good. I use it for browsing, watcing videos, chatting with friends, and a lot of basics. No gaming, thats what my consoles are for. But the latitude series is a solid line.

Is the good to use thinkpad or dell latitude?

What microphone are you using?

I'm still using a Latitude E6420 (like new in my opinion) and I changed the keyboard. After 2-3 owners the matte display is perfect. For other people it might seem like a crappy laptop, but it's a tough HQ desktop for me.

Sim card is present in the laptop?

Is the Latitude 3400 made of carbon fibre too?

hey, love your videos and T shirts! Can you recommend some good color space coverage laptops without breaking the bank? I am an amateur photographer, and would like to edit on the go. Thanks in advance

When you remove the screws from the bottom cover, do you still have to pry it open or does it come right off easily?

I’m looking at this,the seller said it’s fine for photo editing with Topaz De Noise Would you agree?

how many cells does the battery have?

Hi Lisa, thanks for the review. Does this have soft touch paint or coating on the front? Interested, but the previous gens always started peeling off. Thanks in advance!

can I add an external gpu in my latitude 5400

no wifi switch or fn alternative?

how can i on the keyboard light

Looks like some fantastic bang for your buck and looks like a real viable contender to the ThinkPad when it comes to the GOAT laptop!

I don't know why, but I like what I see.

Do you have cases for this Laptop

I wonder if there is a video, which shows the difference between Dell Precision 5540 and 5530, or also between Dell Latitude, also between Dell XPS I'm searching 1 good laptop for Photoshop CC digital painting / art works and for animation, animation on TVpaint, opentoonz n etc., also to use Adobe Premier and AfterEffects. Btw I love your video reviews, always watching them, cuz it helps a lot with information and choosing a right product !🙌 so thank you a lot !

I have the same laptop but having a lot of troubles in connecting bluetooth

Could you give me advice about which laptop should i choose. Latitude 5410 or latitude 7390. Which is the better for working? Developing websites!!

Dell, always a good bang.

Congrats for the great reviews. What would you recommend? Acer Spin 5 or Dell Latitude 5400? You have reviewed both. Thanks for any advise you can provide.

I just picked up the 5410 and it has not one, but two heat pipes. Seems to handle heat even better then the 5400 that was already pretty decent.

using one for work now since the office changed to this model-- its not bad but the battery life seems absolutely abysmal for no reason

Which graphics card in it??

where is the refresh button.

I have the same but company issued laptop. It’s a decent machine and reasonably fast with 16gb ram and 256gb ssd.

I have this laptop dont know why but i am facing motion blur/ghosting screen when i play videos or when i move the mouse cursor even in games also if anybody knows about the problem than plz help

Lisa's the GOAT. Change my mind.

How many hz can it go to

Is it a touch screen?

Hello how are you? Thanks for your great effort. I hope you will answer my question about .... (Can I add a graphic card) in such a device?

What is the price of this laptop

is this good for gaming?

Honestly this laptop can run games and i am happy about that

These things are great buys now as refurbished laptops

Looking for business or programming laptop, suggest me any good dell latitude series laptop or thinkpad series.

This or 7490 with same configuration?

waiting for my 4800u reviews

Is there a screen part I can order so Can I upgrade my regular screen to the touchscreen myself at home.

Please review the Acer Aspire E15 E5-576G-5762

Lisa's reviews are anything but generic. This one, as is true of all her reviews, continues to perpetuate the platinum standard for technical reviews.

Please review 5410...

Great value for money. Hard to fault.

Can you do the dell vostro 9750?

777k subscribers, really nice Lisa.

Who here uses the vPro feature of the CPU? Still do not fully understand vPro feature. I know the i5 10400H is compatible with it.

Great laptop for IT Pros

This seems like less value for the money than ThinkPad right now, is there something I am missing that this does better?

How can i order its charger plz give me link??

Make it a convertible and i will buy it! No shiny display, lots of slots, good specs nice build quality... i miss this in the recent lenovo thinkpad yoga updates -.-

Dell Vostro or Lattitude are very good ang stong built, but the bad small Key-board makes the Laptop Useless to me.

My former employer sold me this laptop for $100 with 512SSD GB & 16GB RAM & it is a powerhouse!

From Egypt 🇪🇬 you are the 👌

0 dislikes on the video.... *Now that makes me happy*

What is the deal with so many modern laptops STILL using HDMI v1.4 ports?! v2.0 has been around for a while now, and every modern processor has no problem driving a 4K/60hz desktop on a secondary screen. I refuse to buy laptops with HDMI v1.4 nowadays, and I can't imagine I'm the only one like that. It's a deal-breaker.

how can we insert sim into laptop directly

Why do you have the laptop in your hand but are showing videos from other places, what’s the whole point

Interesting model to work instead game

How much does it cost now?

Why did Dell not change its proper charge port to usb-c? It is much more versatile, especially if you have a smartphone/power bank/camera with the same port.

I just recently bought this one, what to should I do first? Thanks

Just so you know: this is a business laptop :)
