About this deal

The maximum temperature on the upper side is 41.5 °C / 107 F, compared to the average of 34.2 °C / 94 F, ranging from 21.2 to 62.5 °C for the class Office. The flash storage in our review model performs better than the 128 GB drive of the predecessorin terms of sequential read and write operations. The 4K-64 results, however, are much lower compared to the Latitude E5450, so the overall score in the AS SSD benchmark is worse.

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. However, if you want a lightweight, 14-inch business laptop with a colorful display and strong performance, the Dell Latitude E5470 is a very strong choice. The original proposals for Dell's e-waste management goals were highlighted in a document from 2013. Appropriately named the "Legacy of Good Plan," it set the high bar of recycling 2 billion pounds of e-waste by 2020, but the goal was instead reached ahead of time in 2018. According to Kefetew Selassie, the head of Dell's Taiwan Design Center, Dell recycled consumer plastics, carbon fiber waste, and gold from motherboards as part of this achievement. Dell even has plans to use 100 million pounds of the recycled materials before this coming Earth Day. In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 25.1 °C / 77 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F. We can neither find maintenance hatches nor a battery at the bottom of the case. This means you will have to remove the whole bottom cover to gain access to the components. Additionally, when I was multitasking with Chrome and Windows Defender, the space to the left of the keyboard spiked a temperature of 115 degrees. That unpleasant mark didn't change when we set the AMD Catalyst Control Center to "Optimize power savings" or "Force power-saving graphics." Changing the Dell Power Manager utility's Thermal Management setting from Optimized to Cool did not help, either.

Input Devices

When it comes to formal benchmarks, the battery life falls a bit short of its nearest competitors. On the Peacekeeper battery test the Latitude managed just over four and a half hours, while the Thinkpad, which features hot-swappable batteries, managed about four hours and fifty minutes, with the XPS 13 lasting about six minutes longer.

With a small, sleek form-factor and modest battery life, the Latitude is a very portable machine for business travelers or anyone who needs to spend most of their workday without being tethered to a desk. Slim and light Whenever you buy a new laptop or desktop and decide to throw away an older model, it often heads to the garbage dump and becomes "e-waste." Well, it turns out that Dell is one of the leading computer manufacturers that are doing good for the environment, as it has recycled 2 billion pounds of said e-waste ahead of a planned 2020 goal. Enhanced design: Structure-enhanced carbon fiber reinforced polymer cover, spill-resistant keyboard and optional touch-screen display From childhood on, the curiosity about the functioning of the latest technical achievements continued. The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 31.5 °C / 89 F, compared to the average of 29.5 °C / 85 F for the devices in the class Office.

Operating System

After the removal of the plastic cover, you get access to the memory and hard drive, wireless communication modules, the battery and the fan. Even minor details serve a purpose. Where the display meets the body, Dell opted to fortify the Latitude’s durability by using metal to mount the hinge to the chassis. It’s an attractive design element, but it also makes sure the display remains firmly affixed to the body. There’s very minimal flex here. This is a notebook built for the rigors of everyday use. Throw away those dongles Multimedia, Budget Multimedia, Gaming, Budget Gaming, Lightweight Gaming, Business, Budget Office, Workstation, Subnotebooks, Ultrabooks, Chromebooks The Latitude E5470 doesn’t need to have a great display, and it could get by with just a decent or mediocre screen. After all, it’s destined for a life of spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, and the occasional in-flight movie — nothing that would require a lush and colorful screen. Unfortunately for the Latitude, these speed discrepancies are felt in everyday use. Boot times are surprisingly long, and read/write speeds make moving files around a huge pain. The Latitude’s expansive storage size is appreciated, but it comes at too high a cost. Not playing around, at all

The Latitude E5470's 1920 x 1080-pixel display is more vibrant and colorful than competing business laptops. When we measured the E5470's display with our colorimeter, it reproduced 113.1 percent of the sRGB color gamut. That's well above the average thin-and-light notebook (83.2 percent), and it also beats the EliteBook, ThinkPad and Tecra. Our version of the Dell Latitude E5470 uses a 256 GB SSD from LiteOn. This M.2 model is attached via SATA (6 GB/s). Other alternatives are a 500 GB conventional hard drive (7200 rpm) as well as smaller 128 GB SSD. In fact, the only out-of-the-box bloatware present on the Latitude was included with Windows 10. There were a few Windows Store apps we didn’t really need, and more than a handful of Microsoft trial apps that deserved a swift and just removal. Warranty informationThe Latitude E5470 scored a solid 9,760 on Geekbench 3, a synthetic benchmark that measures overall performance. That mark handily beats the results earned by the AMD A12-powered EliteBook 745 G3 (5,494), Core i5-5300U-powered ThinkPad T450s (5,993), Core i7-5600U-powered Tecra Z40t-B (6,427) and the average thin-and-light notebook (6,229).
