About this deal
The device will most likely have some obvious signs of use, such as clear scratches or slight dents to the casing, but the screen will be free from damage. The service tag shows Dell UK warranty 2027 (we're unable to transfer the ownership, sometimes serviced still, see photo 3). Unfortunately, there is no trackpoint or dedicated mouse button, which would have certainly found its fans as a unique business selling point.
Compared to the predecessor, the layout has only changed for the Enter key, which is now again aligned upright and no longer lying down (7410).The other camera options, including the one on our review unit, offer the more common 720p resolution.
Thanks mostly to Intel's latest silicon, the Dell Latitude 7420 outperforms the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8. 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. All in all, we observed a balanced heat distribution that is unlikely to be noticeable in office use with low maximum loads.Storage performance as measured by PCMark 8 proved roughly equal across the Latitude 7420 and its competitors, since they all use speedy SSDs as their boot drives.
