Dell Latitude 14 5420

Strengths

Dell's Latitude presents itself as an overall solid allround office device.
The upgradeability is excellent and none of the major components are soldered.
A generously equipped allround business laptop that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of connectivity and security.
We measured a real-world Wi-Fi runtime of almost 13 hours at a display brightness setting of 150 nits.

Weaknesses

The chassis is neither thin nor lightweight and likely will not win any design awards either.
Unfortunately, there are a few missteps here as well, as our review will show.
The 720p camera in the lid is barely worth mentioning. It captures washed-out pictures that suffer from immediately noticeable artifacts.
The input device changes did not pan out. Instead of mouse buttons and a Trackpoint, the Latitude offers a clickpad with haptics so poor that even die-hard reviewers resort to connecting a USB mouse.
