      can you enlighten us what is wrong with intel 8th Gen? For making that strong statement, I am sure you have a good reason.

      You're right this is a Very good little laptop, solidly built and easy to upgrade RAM and Hard drive.By removing a few screws you have full access to the internal components, battery, ram,Wi-Fi and hard drive which you don't get on consumer grade laptops.

    • umakant on 25/01/2021 - 13:49

      Business does not mean great they are still entry level business computer , apple only makes consumer grade laptops check out apple M1 it costs little more then this laptop at 1500 they are incredible if you want some thing which is extremely good built you need to get dell precision, Google apple M1 they beat any thing with Intel or AMD unless you buy gaming computer plus it has amazing battery life

    People kept saying that this laptop is not consumer range and hence the price, but that isn't the point. I recently bought a 2nd hand HP Envy 15 q005tx just for fun. I didnt need the laptop because I already have one, but it was too cheap to pass. Got it for $250.

    The specs are:
    16GB RAM
    Geforce 850M
    i7-4712hq
    1TB SSD
    and it is a touchscreen.

    https://support.hp.com/nz-en/document/c04354019

    Sure, it is an old laptop from 2014, but the specs hold up for today's workload. I'm able to undervolt and overclock it with Throttlestop and run games on it while maintaining an average of 55C ~ 61C. TDP is around 9~19W, which is really good imo. Even without undervolting and overclocking, ut runs perfectly fine on stock.

    I can use Parsec on my home PC to remotely play games on the HP laptop, which is sitting at my work office right now and there is no lag on the laptop.

    The CPU back in the day was a top range CPU and it is very useable today.

    My point is, a laptop with good specs and a good price is what will attract people.

    • Banto on 25/01/2021 - 11:50

      where did you get that laptop for $250? Was it second hand/off lease or refurbished?

      Business grade laptops are usually more expensive than the consumer grade ones.
      In fact I use the almost same LT from work (got 32GB RAM and i7). It costed more than $2500 for the company, about 1 year back.

      • Banto on 25/01/2021 - 12:53

        Just saw it was 2nd hand. Still pretty good deal.

      • NovaAlpha on 25/01/2021 - 12:59

        I mentioned that I bought it 2nd hand. No issues with it though.

        People need to realize that there is no difference between a consumer and enterprise grade laptop. The only thing you get from buying an enterprise grade laptop is warranty and support, but the hardware doesn't change - at least not to the point where there is noticeable difference anyway.

        The reason I mentioned my 2014 HP Envy is because even for a 7 year old device, it performs really well and can be used for gaming even by today's standards. So people who think "enterprise" equals long warranty and good support and high-end hardware are just delusional.

        I've also had multiple enterprise grade laptops given to me by the company. Expensive ones too. 2 of them had issues with the battery (well known issue) and the other one had a failed hardrive. The same goes for some of my colleagues. There is no difference to a normal laptop.

        None of the laptops I bought for myself have any issues. I also have a Asus ZenBook UX430UN, which costs like $2000 new and I got it for $800 2nd hand, but it was basically in brand new condition. The guy who sold it wanted a Razer, lol. My ultrabook has a better CPU and GPU than this Dell and it is still cheaper and a better choice. Not to mention ultrabooks with good specs are generally expensive.

        Do your proper research on which laptop model is good and even buy parts so you can swap them out yourself, like RAM and SSD, etc.

        People who waste money on overpriced laptops are the same idiots thst buy pre-built gaming PCs. The real pros build their own.

    People complaining about the price of business laptops should really check out how much HP elitebooks cost.

    You pay premium for the validation (which sometimes leads to older hardware) reliability (usually military grade certified) and rapid 247 support (e.g. next day on site)
    Most of these are irrelevant for home users but critical to enterprise customers.

      I think a lot of them don't understand the difference between a business computer and consumer grade.Besides the higher standard of security, business computers come with stronger more robust construction easy to take apart and change components and clean inside as it takes only one minute to unscrew the back and have access to everything. A Consumer grade computer relies on screws plastic clips and quite often an hours work to dismantle and reassemble and also the upgradable parts are often soldered to the main board so cannot be upgraded.I have a MacBook Air M1 with a better screen, twice as fast not to mention 20 hours battery life but I wouldn't rate as a business computer, it's certainly not that rugged as you would have to baby it.

      • NovaAlpha on 25/01/2021 - 21:46

        You're talking out of your ass. The majority of laptops are easy to repair and swap out parts. I just re-pasted the thermal on like 10 laptops this weekend for myself, my wife and family members. We all have different laptops, ranging from Asus, Acer, HP, etc and the maintenance on them were super easy. I cleaned the fans, took out the heatsinks and repasted the thermal paste for the CPU, swapped out hardrives and RAM, etc.

        Upgrading SSD, RAM and NVME on 99% of the laptops are easy as shit. What kind of an idiot can't remove a few simple screws? Just because a laptop is to easily remove the back-cover, doesn't mean that it is constructed well or better than consumer laptops. You're basically saying that having less screws makes it "stronger", which is a contradiction in itself.

        None of the components listed are enterprise grade components. The i5-8365U CPU is just like any other. There's nothing special about it.

        Nobody needs to clean the laptop on a regular basis either. You'd only need to do this maybe once every 6 months ~ 1 year. And here you think taking it apart easily makes a big difference. Shaving an extra 10s isn't worth the price. If you need to clean the laptop constantly, you're either doing something wrong, or the laptop itself is crap and collects dust way too easily. The average user also doesn't know how to swap out parts on the laptop. If the target audience is for workplace users, then chances are they'd just hand it to their IT to do maintenance or whatever on it.

        A laptop with proper construction that people should really look out for, is how well it deals with heat. Thermal throttling is a problem that is common across all laptops, including your so called business grade ones. There's a reason why there are 3rd party tools out there for undervolting, underclocking, adjusting speed settings on the fan, etc. A lot of laptops can't deal with thermals well and so they throttle the CPU, which is actually one of the main reasons that affect people's workflow. Nobody cares about how premium grade the material used on your laptop is, until you start experiencing lag and overheating.

        As someone who has worked 8 years as a Systems Engineer (now as a DevOps Engineer & Solutions Architect), who worked with companies and dealt with setting up enterprise grade equipment for customers in datacenters and "enterprise grade" equipment for the users, I can tell you that all of this "enterprise grade" talk is just utter bullcrap.

        They sell you support and warranty, that's it. Unless your specific hardware is actually enterprise grade, which is not in this case as the RAM, SSD, CPU are all standard, there's nothing "special" about this laptop that warrants this price.

        Electronics don't die easily and so the majority of the time, you don't need warranty. Most businesses do a refresh of the hardware for their employees every few years, because it's much easier that way. Moore's law also dictates this, as hardware become cheaper over time. Hell, most people I know would just swap to a new phone every 2~3 years and there's nothing wrong with their old one. If things break so easily, we would be replacing our electronics left and right on a monthly or yearly basis.

        Conclusion, people who think they need enterprise grade equipment just to have the extended warranty and protection, they really need a wake-up call.

        • pdevonporf on 25/01/2021 - 22:45

          I think you've made that all up good on ya

          • NovaAlpha on 25/01/2021 - 23:13

            @pdevonporf: Sure I did. Let me ask you this then - how often do you clean your "normal" PC or laptop and how often do you replace your "normal" electronics, such as your phone, laptop, PC, etc? Can you disprove what I said about electronics being stable in general and doesn't break as often as you think and doesn't need warranty? By the time you replace them, which I'm guessing is every 2~3 years, it wouldn't matter at that point anyway. You're not going to buy an "enterprise grade" electronic to last a lifetime. You'll definitely replace them one way or another, so stop lying to yourself.

            Here, here's a screenshot of one of my laptops that I bought at a super cheap price. I undervolted it to the max and it is still running super stable with 6 monitors attached, while I'm gaming and using Parsec and running multiple processes. Notice the temp? Notice the CPU? Can you get that CPU on an "enterprise grade" laptop that is less than $800? My CPU eats the one that is posted in this deal (look up benchmark scores).

            I can always post more proof and open up my laptops and take photos. You want my Microsoft certifications as well to check if I'm really an IT guy? Might as well share my investment portfolio with you too. Here's my worst portfolio, still doing OK:

            And how do you even use your PC to the point where you need to "baby it"??? What are you doing to it? Are you constantly dropping it on the floor? In which case, that's an issue with you. Also, it doesn't matter how well it is constructed. Screen will break and you'll have to replace it anyway. Just don't be stupid and careless and you won't even have this problem.

            You're probably the type of guy who would buy a pre-built gaming PC for a completely ripped off price and then doubt someone who tells you that you can build the same thing for a fraction of the cost. Ignorance is bliss, enjoy it.

This is not a high-performance computer it’s a fit for purpose laptop and not a gaming laptop it is solidly built has a two year warranty has security software building and doesn’t require much technical knowledge to upgrade and it doesn’t really matter whether you can take a laptop apart in 15 seconds. This Dell computer has a service panel do you not understand it is not a rear chassis panel like on HP laptop that is for repair access not a service panel and requires a bit of knowledge to actually take off and sure I can replace the hard drive in it quite quickly but it still requires knowledge including one screwdriver and a credit card. It also has 15 screws of different sizes and some hidden so they have to be recorded unlike the Dell laptop which has eight screws fixed to the back service panel so they cannot be lost or mixed up . As for the Apple Mac air it is not robust at all, drop a can of fly spray on it and you’ll have a dent in it ,drop it on the concrete and then probably have to throw it away.

And yes and what you're showing is the very thing I'm raising about the Dell so So what's your problem? you have the same access as the Dell and not a budget computer which I am talking about.Most new Budget computers do not have access panels, can you not understand As they have a clamshell design that supports the main board as well as being the main structural strength of the computer and are cheap to manufacture and can be difficult to disassemble.

                        @pdevonporf: You: "You keep contradicting yourself saying that plastic is more durable than metal or glass". What am I contradicting exactly? I only made one comment related to plastics, which is this:

                        "And just because something uses plastic, doesn't mean it's bad. A phone that uses hard plastic instead of "premium" glass or metal will be more durable from drops."

                        I said that because some people think plastics on consumer laptops are bad and "less durable", which is not true at all.

                        You: "If you want to take a 15 inch HP Budget computer into a shop to have a hard drive upgrade or a memory module installed you will be charged an hour or labour." - Nobody said anything about taking a consumer laptop to the shop. I showed you how easy it is to take out 1 screw on a HP Envy 15 and have access to the SSD and RAM. Why would you need to take it to the shop unless you are stupid? Also, people can take their business-grade laptops to the computer shop and be charged 1 hour for labour as well. Your point is invalid.

                        You: "business computers come with stronger more robust construction easy to take apart and change components and clean inside as it takes only one minute to unscrew the back and have access to everything." - Not true. My HP Envy 15 consumer laptop has one screw and is easy to take out the back cover. https://www.myfixguide.com/manual/hp-envy-15-j000-disassembl…

                        You: "You have the same access as the Dell and not a budget computer which I am talking about" - your English sucks, I can barely understand what you're writing here. My HP Envy 15 is $250. That is budget to me. That has better specs (except the CPU) than the Dell Latitude 5400 ($1199).

                        16GB RAM
                        Geforce 850M

                        1TB SSD
                        touchscreen

                        $250. Budget.

                        Also, nobody talked about budget computers, you're trying to change topics here. Do a CTRL+F for the word "budget" on this page. You will find that you started mentioning the word budget just 2 hours ago. This was never in the discussion previously.

                        For the record, most consumer laptops are not like what you said. I have used many different types of laptops, ultrabooks, netbooks and they range from gaming to everyday use. All of them allows you to easily swap out the SSD and RAM. You are just stupid and can't make a valid point. Go back and read what you said, it's like you were having a stroke while writing.

                        You are probably mentally challenged, so I will make it easy for you by summarizing the following points:

                        • business grade laptops are more durable and constructed better compared to consumer laptops - Not true. And if you drop any laptop on concrete, the screen breaks anyway, so nobody cares about the construction. The design of some business-grade laptops like the crappy Lenovos also means you have poor thermal and the CPU will throttle. This is more important than your durability and construction.

                        • business grade laptops are easier to access the internals. Not true. Plenty of consumer laptops have a single screw or 2~3 screws that you can remove to slide out the backcover. HP Envy 15 is a consumer laptop and it proves the point. Anyone who is not an incompotent useless person can swap out parts in a laptop easily, including taking out the heatsink and put thermal paste on the CPU.

                        • business grade laptops have longer warranty and better support and service from the vendor. This is true, but nobody needs warranty. Electronics don't break easily and people replace them well before they die. Why am I still able to use a 7 year old HP Envy 15 that I bought 2nd hand from Trademe if this was not the case? I have plenty of used electronics and they are working just fine. A well built device (regardless if it's consumer or business-grade) is going to last long.

                            @pdevonporf: Not if you compare it to a $250 laptop.

                            I'm saying that there are far better options at a fraction of a price. It's like saying some people will pay $2000 for a brand new iPhone or Samsung, when you can very easily go for a $350 Poco F1 or OnePlus or something that is a flagship killer, but at a fraction of the cost. They will have the same CPU and pretty much the same high-end specs. But there will always be people who will argue something like "But it's Apple or Samsung and more expensive = best".

                            Put it this way, the Dell has a slightly better CPU than my HP Envy 15's i7-4712hq (which is actually really good for today's workload, to my surprise. No lag at all). Aside from the CPU, why should someone pay 5x the price for it? Do you honestly think saying stuff like "because it's well constructed and sturdy" would easily warrant an extra $950? If there were 5x HP Envy 15 selling at $250, you could buy 5 of those and use one per year for 5 years and by then, you would have a brand new laptop at that point.

                            Some people are just not good with their decisions and good with money.

                              @NovaAlpha: The discussion was about buying a new computer not some old Clunker.

                                @pdevonporf: The discussion was never about buying a new computer. It was about whether you should buy this laptop at $1200. And my old clunker beats this $1200 laptop. You still haven't answered my question. Why would I spend an extra $950 over buying a $250 old clunker that works just as well, with better specs overall? You're gonna spend $1200 and you couldn't even game on that piece of crap.

                                  @NovaAlpha: No the discussion was about buying a brand new Dell Latitude 5400 14-Inch i5 8365U 8GB 256GB NVMe (2 Years Dell Warranty) - $1199 and not some old clunker.It's like you rolling up with a 30 year old Holden Commodore V8 With 400,000 k's on the clock and full of rust and saying it was better than the Mazda 3 because it was faster.

                                    @pdevonporf: Funny you should make that comparison. One of the cars I drive is a Mazda 3 2015 Limited. If a 30 year old Holden with 400Ks on the clock is actually faster than my Mazda 3 (which is not that hard to beat, how fast do you think Mazda 3 is seriously), then I wouldn't even be mad. I would congratulate the guy who bought his Holden at $1000, instead of spending $31000 on a brand new Mazda 3.

                                    You have yet again, failed to explain why I should spend an extra $950 to get the Dell. Let me put the specs of my clunky HP here again in case you were too blind to see.

                                    16GB RAM
                                    Geforce 850M
                                    i7-4712hq
                                    1TB SSD
                                    touchscreen

                                    $250.

                                    Compare that to the specs of the Dell. Just because it's got a sticker of "brand new and released in 2020 or 2021", doesn't mean it's good. You're the gullible type of person who is dumb enough to fall for this sort of marketing scheme and not actually buy something that is truly good value.

                                    But hey, why trust to a guy who is good with money, who knows how to invest and actually proved it with his investment portfolio of 1.6mil and someone who actually works in IT and has certifications to back up his statements? Instead, let's just listen to a nobody with no credentials, who hasn't been able to intelligently address any of the key points and is just a Dell fanboy who doesn't know shit. Benchmark numbers are the true way to calculate how good a laptop/PC is, but I bet you won't accept the truth from the actual numbers.

                                    Also, I pity you who thinks that a $1200 Dell laptop with 8GB RAM is even worth getting and fighting for. 8GB on a PC or laptop is so bloody 2012. Do you live under a rock? Seriously, even my phone has 16GB RAM and it's becoming the norm for a phone to have 8GB+ RAM nowadays. Any of the new decent phones coming out these days are equipped with 8GB RAM minimum. 8GB on a PC/laptop in today's market is weak. But hey, there will always be idiots like you who think that having no dedicated GPU and having just 8GB RAM is actually going to beat a $250 laptop that has better specs and more stuff equipped. You're complaining about a $250 clunky old hardware and yet your Dell doesn't even have touchscreen or dedicated GPU at $1200. How stupid are you?

                                    Using your analogy, that's like comparing a 30 year old Holden with 4 doors to a Mazda 3 that is missing 3 doors. And yet there's you being the dumbass who will keep shouting that Mazda 3 is newer and better in every way possible.

          My experience: consumer laptops have flimsy screens and small, tiny, weak power ports that break all the time.

          Business laptops have sturdier construction and solid power ports.

          I agree the insides are usually the same although you won't find the lower end CPUs in the business machines.

    Yazeer got more than he bargained for with this post; some tech comparisons, some life stories, and some downvotes.

    I would just like to stoke the fire and say that Dell Latitudes are my absolute favourite laptop family.

    Although the deprecation of the E-Port was a massive disappointment.

    The person saying they're low end and Precision are the high end family is a fool who doesn't have an understanding of market needs. He's attributing raw total performance as being the only designation for a good or a bad laptop.

    Precision = Workstation. People who have serious compute or GPU compute needs (eg CAD Users, Video Editors etc).
    Latitude = Business. People who need reliability, battery life, ease-of-use and minimal weight.

    Both of those families have high end (Latitude 7000 and Precision 7000) and low end models (Latitude 3000 and Precision 3000).

    I’m in the market for a laptop and want one that is bang for my buck. Ideally budget is around $2000. Can spend more if needed. Useful for web browsing, video streaming, occasional video transcoding and overall snappy speed. 2 in 1 maybe? I like Dell and would like to able to upgrade the ram and SSD. I know 2 in 1 isn’t an option for that but aren’t 2 in 1’s great for using on the couch and such? Suggestions?
