Cheers @Faruk Zeqiri, the processor behaviors are important for a lot of high load work, research application, machine learning/AI etc. Sometimes the behavior is more important then the ending result performance score due to specific applications in the professional/business tasks. I do my best to perform and demonstrate these processor behaviors on each computer I get on the channel. I'm grateful this demonstration was useful to you and giving me the feedback on it =).

Thank you for your review. Your previous videos had a 'darker' setting as in there was less light, but I actually found that more natural. Your current video, it's quite bright, maybe a bit too much to be honest. Apart from that, very nice review, you are one of the few people on KZfaq that actually reviewed this laptop! Also, the quality of your content is really good, I subscribed.

This isn't the 360 convertible version, there is a touch screen option which is a FHD touch screen with matte finish that has max brightness 300 nits. Since this laptop isn't the current one so isn't sold directly by Dell website you have to check on the reseller if they have the touch screen version of the Latitude 5420.

Is there no two finger scroll or gesture on this model. At work we imaged two and found there is no gesture or two finger scrolling. No new driver found. Have you all found the same?

There may be a gesture recognition service in Windows itself. I don't use Windows directly on mine- I use Linux- and two-finger scrolling works fine.

Nice review mate. I wonder why you haven't reviewed NFC and Smart Cart reader? No one talks about it. Also build quality, is there any metal there or pure plastic. Thx.

@BsianTech 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Vadim, you have made a great suggestion on future reviews. Unfortunately I haven't got much experience with NFC nor the Smart Card reader as I haven't worked for an organization that uses those two devices so I couldn't give a good honest review on them. I will look into it though for sure! Thanks for the feedback and suggestion Vadim =).

@@BsianTech No Worries. Our company just bought 4 of these and i will get one. Yes NFC is strange beast, i wonder if you can pay with tap on your laptop? Or can it read QR/Barcodes ? Regarding Lenovo, our company had like 4-5 faulty units with different Hardware problems ( thinkbook models) so we went with dell and no issues at all.

what do you think of the touch pad compared to other models? i like the xps 15 pad but disliked the higher-end inspiron pad - very clunky and felt cheap when clicking. obviously with many of these models sold directly there is little room to try these out in person

@BsianTech 2 жыл бұрын

The trackpad on the Latitude 5420 is very different to the XPS 13. XPS 15 is more like glass texture like feel where as the Latitude is more tad rougher texture but the depressing clicking on the 5420 is better than the XPS 15.

@danielneff1987 2 жыл бұрын

Should I keep this laptop plugged in all day while working?

@BsianTech 2 жыл бұрын

The laptop is happy to have it plugged in all day to AC power while running. A lot of business laptops do this with docking stations/ports and the battery AI is smart enough to not kill battery quickly these days while having AC power connected all day and all night.

@joshuapk9808 2 жыл бұрын

Unlike with older laptops, it's safe to keep this one plugged in all the time. I have mine configured to start charging at 40% and stop charging at 80%. So if I unplug the computer for a half hour and the battery discharges to 60% for example- when I plug it back in, it will not charge the battery. At all. If I unplug the computer and use it till the battery is down to 43%, plug it back in, it won't charge. If I unplug, drain it to 35%, plug it in, then it will charge all the way back up to 80%.
