Dell Latitude 5400 Unboxing & Review: The No-Nonsense Business Laptop 

@Dominic Ramos do you get an answer?

Do you think that its a good upgrade from Acer Aspire 3 with Ryzen 7 3700u and Radeon Vega RX 10 ?

Interesting. I'm looking at i7 8665U 512 GB SSD 16 GB of DDR4 RAM listings (and similar) and worried that it may not be enough for running things like SolidWorks simulations without dedicated graphics. If you're still around, what do you think? How does this computer perform on graphic-heavy tasks in CAD softwares? As a gamer I have no trouble turning my graphics settings all the way down to get a playable experience, but for college the CAD software graphics are what they are, and I want to make sure I have the performance I need.

@@samuelfaville2415 Hi, I have no problems by running CAD software in the 8665u latitude, I still working on it at home, I have installed SolidWorks and it runs excellent, sadly dedicated graphics are not correctly exploited at the time of designing or making simulations, but at the time of creating static renders or videos. In my office, I have an 8 core/16th Xeon workstation with dedicated graphics by Nvidia Quadro 4000, and I don't perceive significant difference in performance at the time of designing in 3D or 2D, but the latitude has better response at the time of switching between open applications. For CAD software, is better having a workstation with the higher bus/memory bandwidth instead of powerful graphics. I recently installed ASPEN PLUS and COMSOL in the latitude 5400, and both run great depending on the configured mesh complexity.

I got a thing for old business computers and I just picked up this today for under $300 on Amazon. Comes with 512 nvme and 16gb sodimm ram so I’ll probably add a second stick because reasons. Same processor you have. 95% of anything I do is on my desktop rig which is quite the powerhouse but I find myself needing a laptop sometimes. I’m thinking this will serve me for years to come.

Is it possible to have both NVME and SATA HD? thanks

Do you think can i run autocad in dell latitude 5400 i5

Nice to see you again!

Thanks really appreciate it 👊

That’s a steal

Do you still using it without any problem?

Lol, I gbh that I like the Lego reference, but they sure seem to pull their own weight. Friday October 4th will be a full year since I got the Latitude 5599 from my an acquaintance of my brother.

i got a chromebook one and im getting the joy of upgrading and salvaging a $70 ebay i7 donor board, even upgrading a bunch of silly stuff like screen and battery ill have an insane amount of laptop for $100-200

that sounds really interesting. You should do a video on it or something I would love to see how it turns out@@Mickdoodle1

I found it on back market for $109 so I thought I would come see a review about it

cool not a bad deal too @@The_Mad_Zombie

Which of the black market, please I also want to get one @Zombie_Chiefs_Fan

Thanks 👊

Of course

I have not reviewed it unfortunately. The 5400 is very good.

@@andrewmarcdavid thank you so much for your reply. Congrats, your reviews are very useful.

5400

And it supports 64gb of memory

Premium finishing materiales, and display RGB gamut.

For me on Dells, the fan hardly ever turns on unless there's a really major task going on. Even then the fan never fully throttles all the way up, (Unlike on most newer HP machines).

Anything above 75%.
