The left side has a USB-C/Thunderbolt port used for charging, along with a headset jack, while the right side has another USB-C/Thunderbolt port, a USB-A 3.2 port (both with power), HDMI, and more unusually, a micro-SD slot and a microSIM slot if you have an optional modem (which my machine didn’t have). The bezels around the screen are noticeably larger, but that certainly doesn’t impact the usability of the machine. The unit I tested, which has a touch screen, weighed 3.0 pounds, 3.8 pounds with the charger the Lenovo Carbon X1 and HP EliteBook 840 Aero are both a little lighter, but this is an easy machine to carry. It’s actually lighter, with a starting weight of 2.7 pounds. Measuring 0.68 by 12.65 by 8.22 inches (HWD), the 7420 is a bit bigger than the 9420 two-in-one I tested (0.54 by 12.2 by 8.5 inches), but still pretty small (HWD). The unit I tested had a carbon fiber weave design, which I don’t find as modern as the aluminum case in the 9420, but it’s a good-looking laptop and carbon fiber is about 0.2 pounds lighter. I had reviewed the previous version, the Latitude 7410, and this year's machine offers nice improvements, including the Intel 11th-generation Core (Tiger Lake) processors.Ĭompared with the higher-end Latitude 9420 I tested recently, there are trade-offs for this slightly lower end model, but they are small.

But recently, I’ve been working with a more modestly configured version of the Dell Latitude 7420, and it’s a good reminder of just how much laptops have improved in the past few years. I spend a lot of time testing enterprise laptops, but I nearly always test the top-end of specific models, as that’s what the vendors send for testing.
