Dell Latitude E5470 14-Inch Laptop (Intel Core-i5-6300U upto 3.0 GHz, 8 GB RAM

Product Information

The only time we really noticed the Latitude struggling to keep up was when we pushed multi-tasking well beyond reasonable extremes — dozens of browser tabs, opening several applications all at once. There’s one other feature a notebook really needs to be taken seriously as a business laptop: a TrackPoint nub in the center of the keyboard. The review unit will last 21:44 hours and therefore clearly beats the Latitude E5450(13:14 hours) and the Lenovo ThinkPad T460s(14 hours). There’s enough design language here, in the black-on-black scheme and port placement, to suggest that even the most unassuming accents were well considered and placed with care. Not only will execs love the E5740, but IT departments and corporate data security experts will also appreciate this Dell laptop.

The Latitude E5470 isn’t going to win any industrial design awards, but it has a certain quiet elegance. Currently we use the Metrahit Energy, a professional single phase power quality and energy measurement digital multimeter, for our measurements. With Mozy, RSA, Absolute and AirWatch all under one roof, Dell Data Security Solutions brings you award-winning solutions that evolve with your workforce, safeguarding your data from emerging threats. Essentially, the Latitude is covered if anything goes wrong in the first year, but you’re on your own after that. The stability of the Latitude is very good; the only exception is the display cover, which can easily be pushed in.During daily use, the Latitude kept up beautifully but did chug a little when launching more than one app at a time. Lenovo's ThinkPad T450s (which is about to be replaced by the upcoming T460s) offers longer battery life, a better keyboard and a cooler-running chassis. This integrated graphics card runs with a core clock between 300 - 1,050 MHz and is based on Intel's current Skylake generation. Changing the Dell Power Manager utility's Thermal Management setting from Optimized to Cool did not help, either. The Dell Data Protection security tools and protected workplace (for which Dell includes a one- year subscription) should help your IT department secure your sensitive corporate data, no matter if it's in the cloud, on external media or self-encrypting drives.

The Latitude E5470 scored a solid 9,760 on Geekbench 3, a synthetic benchmark that measures overall performance.Dell grants a one-year warranty with Pro Support and on-site service as well as a three-year basic service. Besides a number of security features, the updated devices now use chips from Intel's latest Skylake generation. When you’re doing data entry for several hours at a time, a TrackPoint-style pointer can be a life saver.
