The results of our Handbrake video editing trial are clustered close together, and although the Latitude 7420 tied for last place the differences were negligible. Handbrake is another tough, threaded workout that's highly CPU-dependent and scales well with cores and threads. In it, we put a stopwatch on test systems as they transcode a standard 12-minute clip of 4K video to a 1080p MP4 file. It’s a timed test, and lower results are better. Thanks to its speedy SSD, the Latitude 9420 2-in-1 had no trouble with our PCMark 8 storage test, although these results are clustered together since most modern solid-state drives breeze through this benchmark.

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.Asus has the excellent ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490UA that can be found for a little more, but comes with a Core i7 class CPU, 16GB of RAM and double the storage of this review model.

In addition to that, you get an optional WWAN card for LTE connectivity, as well as an IR face recognition and a human detection proximity sensor, which wakes the laptop as soon as you arrive in front of your device.

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. The review machine didn’t have the LTE module to make use of the SIM slot, and as the standard for these isn’t a global one, the options for the LTE hardware will be different around the world.In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.

Dell currently ships the Latitude 9420 with Windows 10 Pro, and the company plans to offer a Ubuntu Linux version starting later this year. The speakers are no longer on the front of the laptop (7410), but on the side under the palm rest. Their sound emphasizes the middle range but does not neglect the high range when activated in the Dell Optimizer. This results in a moderately balanced sound that reproduces deep voices well in conferences but does not deliver 100% during music because low frequencies are missing. For the office class, the speakers are above average. Moderate, easily adjustable performance, but not for continuous loads - the Latitude handles light to moderate office work. Not providing a full-size SD card slot is mildly annoying, but adapters for Type-A USB ports don’t cost much.In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 26.3 °C / 79 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F. Meanwhile, the only port on the right edge is a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A connector. The remainder of the right edge is dedicated to one of the two outlets for heat exhaust. Any object you place next to this port will get warm; it's great if you're right-handed and using an external mouse on a cold day, but not so much if it's hot out and you suffer from clammy hands.

It finished second to the M1-equipped MacBook Pro in Maxon's CPU-crunching Cinebench R15 test, which is fully threaded to make use of all available processor cores and threads. Cinebench stresses the CPU rather than the GPU to render a complex image. The result is a proprietary score indicating a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 56% of all devices are better. inch, UHD 3840 x 2160, 60 Hz, anti-glare, non-touch, 100% sRGB, 400 nits, wide-viewing angle, narrow bent, super low power, comfort view, low blue light

I'm also including the ThinkPad X1 Yoga, a 2-in-1 that competes with the convertible version of the Latitude 7420. Finally, since our Latitude is a clamshell laptop without a touch screen, a comparison with the 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro is also useful. Many corporate users covet Mac laptops, too. Given the amount of gutter space to the left and right of the keyboard, maybe a wider design could have been employed. That said, the keyboard design works well enough for typing, even with large hands. Cinebench is often a good predictor of our Handbrake video editing trial, another tough, threaded workout that's highly CPU-dependent and scales well with cores and threads. In this case, however, the Latitude 9420 2-in-1 trailed the ThinkPad X1 Yoga and Elite Dragonfly Max.

On the bright side, the available configurations include 8, 16, or 32GB of LPDDR4x RAM, all working in dual-channel mode. Storage-wise, there is one M.2 slot, that supports PCIe x4 drives.On price, the HP EliteBook 1040 G4 is a good fit, even if it is still using Intel 7th-gen silicon on that model.
