i bought a second hand latitude 7400 with 16gb ram and 512gb ssd, i can definitely say it working very well and i'm impressed!
now that it has been 3 weeks, what do u think? i just ordered refurbrished one
Hi, any update on your laptop? I'm also planning to buy secondhand one as well
@@jbo9340I got a refurbished laptop on this model. It's great!
When the fan spinning did you got high pitch noise? and if you charge while laptop on did it got hot too?, because mine have those two problem

My Wife just got one of these with her job, superb little laptop, brilliant keyboard, brilliant trackpad with buttons. Really like this laptop, highly recommended. Thanks for the review
The Dell Latitude is great laptop, use this a lot, so far the only issue I have and had a few doing the same is it gets very heated up and fan goes pretty much loud mode when its connected to the WD19 or WD19TB dock. I have lodge job with Dell to try see if we get a better outcome as looks to be an issue that's causing the computer to heat up even if its not doing much when connected to the WD19 dock.
LOL and now I need them for the Coronavirus haha.
Very nice review!! im about to buy a 2nd hand dell 7400 and this video really helps. Just one question. Does it support charging from its type c port? if yes, what are the wattage it support. Cuz I'm planning to buy a single type c charger for this laptop and mobile phone needs. Thanks you so much!
Hi Jeff Legaspi, thanks for the feedback =) great to see you looking into the 7400 and into the 2nd hand market, great to see the computers aren't disposed to the dump after it's first owner. You can charge the 7400 via it's USB-C port, this is how docking stations like the Dell WD19 and Dell WD19TB charge the computer and provide the other ports. The 7400 only requires 65Watts to charge the laptop, I hope that helps.
@@BsianTech Thank you for the very fast response! I just want to ask if it's safe and possible to use 100w type c? Will it charge faster or the battery will suffer? Would you recommend it?
You can plug the 100W charger in, I believe it won't charge any faster than the 65W as the laptop has been program to only draw a maximum of 65W in any given condition, even at 100% load. It is mostly safe to use higher power adapter but I know manufactures when it comes to warranty claims do not like it, so because the laptop hopefully still under warranty I wouldn't recommend beside using the supplied 65W power adapter unless it is lost or faulty.
@@BsianTech Thank you so much! So glad you're there to help and answer questions. I think it's final. I'm going to buy that laptop for good!
Glad I was helpful Jeff, wish you good luck on best pricing for it.
Great review - thanks!
Thanks buddy, great review. Which laptop would you recommend - Latitude 7400 or the Thinkapd t490 ?
Hi kostadinof, thanks for the feedback. If you aren’t too fussed about weight then I would go with the Thinkpad T490, can go higher in spec and can option in a discrete graphics if you want. You will have to check the pricing in your country but one I would recommend if the pricing is similar is the Latitude 5401 which is same weight as T490 but more powerful. I did a video to compare the 7400 vs 5401 th-cam.com/video/VADXFXbvYjk/w-d-xo.html . Hope that helps you.
Tp all day baybeeee
Keep doing it my man
Thanks for your video. You did a good job.
Compared to the old version (7490), is the keyboard the same or for you it's better/worse? And compared to the X1 carbon, for you which keyboard is the best?
Finally, for you the matte display of the 7400 is better or worse than the matte display of the X1 carbon?
Thanks Mike G, the 7400 keyboard for me once giving good type and bash at it comparing with the 7490 is better. There very very minor difference, I can tell you that the new 7400 keyboard seems to have a bit more bounce than the 7490. Key travel wise its the same and the spacing between each keyboard seems to be the same too just that the look and keys themselves seems smoother surface on it on the 7400. 7400 keyboard vs the X1 because I am been a mac user for a while I perfer the look and feel of the keys of the new 7400. If I wasn't mac user I would go with X1 keyboard!
As for the display of the matte display looked the 7400 and the x1 carbon 6th gen (sorry haven't received the 7th Gen yet) I can tell you the X1 seems to be brighter for sure once maxed out brightness but viewing angle seems to be the same. Colour wise my thoughts is the X1 is only winning with a marginal amount. Only when they side by side and looking really hard do I see it different else the new 7400 display has really setup up the game for sure massively. Hope this helps =)
@@BsianTech Thanks for your answer. Just one more question, in comparison with the X1 6th gen, for the daily tasks, the 7400 is more or less noisy (don't forget that the i7 heats more than the i5)?
@@mikeg5420 I actually have i7 for both the X1 6th Gen and 7400. I can tell you very easily the 7400 runs a lot louder at peak at 59db compare to the X1 at 54db. Daily task wise the 7400 still louder, if you running 7400 it with the WD19TB with dual or triple screen like I do the fan is always on and its very loud, only because I have an even nosier old aircon in my office I could put up with it. IMO the 7400 has surprised me being one of the loudest business notebooks I have handled.
@@BsianTech it shouldn't be normal, maybe you are the performance mode actived? If not, i hope that Dell will correct that with a new update of the BIOS..
@Mike G, I normally run balance mode until I need something more from it. Jjust got the second one in and I will see if it does the same, but CPU sitting normally at 10-15% from the internet browsers I use normally and Outlook which is all I have open most of the day and its got the fan constantly on when docked with the WD19TB. I've applied the new BIOS update but no luck there.
There are just so many variants of this laptop
Thousands times better than macbook pro
How
is it suitable for programming?
Yes for web developement sort of things which require less power
Thanks for the review. Does this laptop work with a 2-in-1 stylus pen?
If you have the 2-in-1 version of the Latitude 7400 it will work with the stylus @Jacob Korir.
Thank you for the video! My laptop came with extra things (cables, and a dock), have you heard about that?
Not that I heard of Pablo Lundie, unless you purchased a bundle on it or the shop/site was running a promo, that's pretty good if you manage to get it with a dock makes it even more useful!
Usually not. You typically get a charging cable and a few useless thin pamphlets, that's it.
Please post the link for it's purchase.
I believe the bottom is plastic, so that when it heats up, it will expand better than aluminum, that's just my opinion
Hi Exotic Madness, you are right on the bottom is plastic and I think you might be on to something about the expansion theory! I do say the Latitude 7400 does spin up its fan pretty often.
Hi! Thanks a lot for the review :) If you were a lawyer with basic business necessities. Would you prefer this one as a business laptop over the Latitude 7490, HP EliteBook 830 G6 or the Lenovo ThinkPad T490?
Hi Maria, this will be an interesting question the three laptops you suggested I would have to break it down. First off is the ethernet port important to you because with the 7400 it lacks it so you will need to bring a ethernet adapter with you. So Latitude 7400 vs 7490, it really does come down to the price how much cheaper it is but pure hardware wise I would go with the 7400 as it has the newer generation CPU which allow you to keep it a little longer. The HP 830 G6 is a 13" laptop and really should be compared to the Latitude 7300, they both so similar besides the HP 830 has an ethernet port. I haven't got to play with the HP 830 so I don't know how the heat is on this but if its just basic business I don't expect it to be very warm in operating temperature. If you don't require touchscreen (as you can get it optional on the 7300) then the HP 830 G6 just for the ethernet port. As for the Lenovo T490 that is different class of laptop which isn't in the ultralight weight but if I had to choose between the two then the 7400 over the T490 for the weight and better screen I think. If you got the budget to push a little more do look into the Lenovo X1 Carbon that is one great business laptop to carry around. I hope that helps.
@@BsianTech perfect, thank you so much for your answer! :)
Some steps backwards relative to the 7480/7490 in exchange for the aluminium build. Gone is the ethernet, one less USB-A, and gone is the trackpoint/dual-pointing device keyboard.
Removing the trackpoint most people can live without but removing the Ethernet port on a business oriented laptop was a surprise move. Don’t see why they need to lose it in the 7400.
@@BsianTech They really didn't need to. The chassis is still thick enough to accommodate the ethernet and 1x USB-A port that they removed. I've fiddled loads with the ethernet catch mechanism on my 7480 and it's still as solid as ever.
Jaywalkra I completely agree the laptop barely changed thickness and they were using a lever system for the Ethernet port which was fine, way better than having to carry a dongle around. I hope they bring it back, without it I mostly recommend looking at the 5000 series.
Do you suggest dell latitude 7400 - i5 8th or the Thinkpad x390- i5 10th?
hi,
i like this laptop very much, but i am confused with this laptop or the dell vostro 14 5490 , since the vostro has Intel 10th processor and it's cheaper. i don't know why is this better
it would be very helpful if you can till me why the latitude is better and is worth the difference in money
Hi Rajeh Agashe, I understand the confusion. I will try give you some insight of the difference. The Vostro range are usually base off the Inspiron range just with few more security features used by businesses and sometime a bit more sturdy than the Inspiron range which is for the consumer market because of that they usually house the newest and latest tech which can be unstable. Speed isn’t normally the highest factor for a business but stability with minimal downtime is. As for Latitude this is built for business use especially medium to large enterprises. They are much better built quality and material designed to take more daily abuse they usually a generation or two behind in tech because it would have stabilised the issues they learnt from their consumers market. So between vostro and latitude, the latitude it’s about better build and stability and warranty repair ability. A non tech way to understand this is a Vostro is like a car you would by personally and take care of, where as Latitude are like taxis, built to take heavy abuse from different passengers with long operating times. Hope this might help you in your decision.
@@BsianTech thanks for your answer, i liked your videos, i dont understand speak english but i use translater for read your interestant comments, thanks so much for help me to choose wisely
@@5n41d3r thanks for your kind words and making the effort to write it out, I really appreciate it as it give me good fuel to know I assisting people outside of my usual environment. Have you manage to find a laptop?
Is the bottom cover really plastic?
Hi Anton S, yes it’s plastic the bottom cover, surprised me I was hoping it was metal like the top. Guess trying to save weight.
How is the keyboard travel compared to the 7490?
fantastic!
Anyone ho buy this laptop
When the fan spinning did you got high pitch noise? and if you charge while laptop on did it got hot too?, because mine have those two problem
Any chance to make face to face comparsion 7400 vs 7300?
- display quality
- case dimentions
- keyboard dimentions
- battery life
Is it possible to charge notebook trough thunderbolt port by xiaomi 45w powerbank?
Thx from Russia
DiderDD just to let you know I haven’t forgotten your request I am trying to get a hold of a latitude 7300 so I can do the comparison review for you.
@@BsianTech Looking forward to this! :)
Hello, was this the Anti-Glare Aluminum or Anti-Reflective Aluminum?
Price?
Price pls
Do you think this is a better product for programming? I bought this. Bt now I am thinking I have wasted my money
What matters is the hardware that you have inside the computer.
If it’s powerful-enough to do Computer-Programming in/with.
I want to buy this now, can you please give a honest feedback of how it performed and did you face any issues like lag or something else?
I returned my 7400 for the 7390 due to the need for the RJ45 port
I completely understand that, I don't really know why they decided to lose the R45 port, their lever compact RJ45 worked great in the 7490.
I agree. No RJ45 port is a no go for me.

mine cane with 1tb ssd is it more expensive ?
Which is latest latitude series laptop & which one us better for business or programming
The latest newest latitude series is the 9 series, but if you asking which model number for 2020, all of the latitude got a refresh already and last two digits of model number will end in 10, eg. 3410, 5410, 7410, etc.
@Anurag-vR:

Mine has about 3-4 hours of total battery life after one year of use. Is this within the normal range? Seems low to me :-(

Why only the 2 in 1 convertible laptops have fingerprint sensor?
It doesn't have to be the 2 in 1 convertible laptops, a lot of the latitude range from Dell can option in for fingerprint sensor.
Is the trackpad as smooth as Macbook Air? Is it glass?
The trackpad on the Latitude 7400 isn't as smooth as the Macbook air but the Latitude 7410 and 7310 is very similar to the macbook air trackpad, if you manage to watch the video (th-cam.com/video/A6zV8ZzvmmU/w-d-xo.html)
This laptop or Lenovo C930? I am so confused.
Hi New Life, I will try help you out on this one. The Lenovo C930 is a end consumer product where as the Latitude 7400 is built for business environment. If you are buying the computer personally go with the Lenovo C940 because you will find it faster and has more features than the Latitude 7400. One of the major difference that medium to large businesses would go for the Latitude 7400 is because the computer has vPro feature. This is to allow easier management of the computer remotely for the IT department. I hope this helps.
@@BsianTech what is vPro feature?
Hi 程卓鸣, the vPro feature allows the IT department in businesses to remotely manage the computer. One of the features of vPro is to remotely turn on and off the computer (mostly used to perform updates may it be BIOS, driver, software or windows to the computer afterhours).
@@BsianTech thank you so much!
Safety goggles!
Safety first isn't it Lisa! Haha, learnt it from the Russian Lifehack youtuber =).
can we add any graphic card etc in it? kindly guide... thankyou
Unfortunately you aren't able to add a graphics card in it. If you get a thunderbolt enable USB-C version then you could get a eGPU (external graphics) to plug into the thunderbolt port of the laptop.
@@BsianTechdo you know how much it costs in 2024 in USD?
The Thunderbolt Port is 4 lane ? Thanks
Hi Roberto P, from reading the HWinfo, the thunderbolt is 4 lanes.
it seems to me that Lat 7400 has very little presence in the market... I can't even find it on any online shops here.
Hi Akmal Rz, the Latitude 7000 series is usually purchased by businesses and usually purchased directly from Dell. So your best place to look for them is on the Dell website for your country.
@@BsianTech hey thanks for the reply. But yeah, though luck--Dell in my country does not sell directly to consumers.
Which country is what may I ask.

I want to buy this now, can you please give a honest feedback of how it performed and did you face any issues like lag or something else?
Oof no rj45?! Has Dell lost it? In the next model they removed the trackpad buttons. This is madness... Next thing they'll remove the keyboard and sell you a tablet. And dongles for the rest
for download bigger files, really is very appreciate have a docking expasion with those ports to increase speed fir downloads
Hi bro, mine is 512 GB . can I extend it up to 1 tb ??
just change the SSD M2 2280 by bigger version 1tb or 2tb, only has single connector.
can i charge it type C port?
Yes you can charge the laptop via the USB-C port, it only requires 65W
I have the carbon fiber model with windows hello options. I miss the Ethernet port. I don't understand what dell's reasoning is on that. I hate dongles, it's why I don't own macs. It's cumbersome and you would think that they would include a Ethernet dongle in the packaging like they do with the XPS 15. No such joy. Thankfully that dongle works perfectly even in Ubuntu Linux. Just.. I hate dongles.
How do you like that carbon fiber after a year, does it stays stiff or starts to pill off, and how do you clean it..
@@popokatapetl6995 I've never had a problem with carbon fiber reinforced plastics. I have a 4 year old XPS 15 that's still in fantastic condition. I don't use it nearly as much since I bought my 7400, but all I have ever used was a slightly dampened cleaning cloth with something like Windex. But if you don't keep an eye on things like batteries and they start bulging that could be a problem. I am on my second battery on my XPS. I replaced it out of abundance of caution at 4 years so mine didn't end up like the people's who didn't!
@@PearComputingDevices thanks for fast respond, indeed
why you wear the safety glasses< LOL
Safety glass for what?
hello! Why does it tell me this device does not have touch functions?
There is a touch screen option for the display if you can find one that has it built in. There is also a 2-in-1 version of this too which will for sure have touch and pen support for the display.

Are the safety glasses really necessary? Not only does it seem like you used crazyrussianhackers speech for safety is number one.
U can easily destroy the battery by downloading and running ray tracing for minecraft, I can bet the battery would only last 10 minutes.
You use safety glasses to use a knife lol you use gloves for knives also work on your knife safety technique you don’t cut aiming the knife towards your heart
