DELL Latitude 7414 Rugged i7-6600U 14 HD 8GB 256GB laptop

Rugged laptop for field work

The Dell Latitude 7414 Rugged is a 14.0 inch laptop built with shock-absorbent materials that meet military-standard requirements for sand, dust and liquid resistance. It runs Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i7-6600U dual-core processor with a 3.40 GHz turbo frequency and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. The 256 GB SATA SSD provides storage for offline data in harsh environments.

Installation and common issues

The unit arrives with the operating system pre-installed so initial setup follows the standard Windows 10 Pro out-of-box experience. Driver updates for the integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 and wireless 802.11ac with Bluetooth 4.2 should be applied before deployment. The emissive backlit keyboard and HD webcam with integrated microphone are ready to use without extra configuration.

Pre-purchase checks

Verify that your docking station or peripheral ecosystem matches the available ports: one USB 2.0, three USB 3.0 (one with PowerShare), HDMI, VGA, two RJ-45 LAN ports, two serial ports and a micro-SIM slot. Confirm the 1366 x 768 non-touch display resolution suits your software interface needs. The chassis measures 9.72 x 14.02 x 2.05 inches and weighs 7.8 lbs, so ensure your carry case or vehicle mount can accommodate these dimensions.
