Dell Latitude 14 5000 E5450 14-Inch Business Laptop

The Dell Latitude 14 5000 E5450 is a business laptop with a 14-inch display. It’s a smaller version of the 15.6-inch E5550. Besides the obvious screen size and dimensions differences, the Latitude E5450 lacks IPS wide viewing angle display technology and has a bit different processor options. Furthermore, the 14-incher doesn’t provide solid state drive options.

The 14″ display has either 1366-by-768 or 1920-by-1080 resolution and optional touch support on the higher-res models. The notebook comes with either 4th Generation Intel Core i3 “Haswell or 5th Gen Core i3, i5, and i7 “Broadwell” processor, as opposed to all-Broadwell Latitude E5550. Dell sells the E5450 only with a 500GB hard drive. RAM memory choices are modest too, because the system has only one RAM slot. You can have either 4GB or 8GB RAM. A built-in DVD drive is missing on both laptops.

On the positive side, the E5450 weighs in at 4 pounds, instead of 4.7 of the 15.6″ version.

Regarding other features, worth noting are optional keyboard backlight and magnesium alloy display lid, optional 4G mobile broadband module, and various enterprise-oriented perks such as fingerprint and SmartCard reader options, a choice of Intel’s vPro system management technology, and support for Dell’s E-dock docking stations. Also, you can configure the laptop with Professional editions of Windows 8 and 7, besides the standard Win 8.
