Description
The Dell Latitude 5420 is a 14-inch business laptop from 2021 built on 11th-generation Intel Core processors — effectively the 14-inch sibling of the Latitude 5520. It prioritizes security (vPro on i5/i7 models), manageability, and a durable, serviceable design. Its RAM and storage are user-replaceable, making it a solid, upgrade-friendly used-market choice.
Upgrade Path
Good upgrade headroom: two DDR4 SO-DIMM slots support up to 64GB of replaceable RAM (DDR4-3200), and the M.2 NVMe SSD can be swapped for larger or faster storage. Ideal for anyone willing to boost RAM and storage themselves.
