DELL Latitude 7414 14" Rugged Extreme i5-6300U 16 GB 512 GB

Rugged 14" Business Laptop

The Dell Latitude 7414 is a fully rugged 14.0 inch laptop built to meet military-standard requirements for shock, vibration and extreme temperatures. Its magnesium alloy chassis uses compression-sealed gaskets to achieve IP65 protection against sand, dust and liquids. The system runs Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i5-6300U processor with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.0 GHz. It is supplied new with 16 GB of memory and a 512 GB SSD.

Field Workers Not Office Users

This machine suits engineers, technicians and first responders who need a computer that survives drops, rain, dust and wide temperature swings in vehicles or on job sites. Buyers who want a thin ultrabook for desk work, a high-resolution display for creative tasks or a lighter device for daily commuting should look elsewhere. The 1366 x 768 non-touch screen and ruggedised chassis add weight and bulk that office users do not require.

IP65 Sealed Chassis Decides Fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the IP65-rated sealed design with magnesium alloy backbone and QuadCool thermal management. If the deployment environment exposes hardware to blowing dust, water jets or rapid temperature changes, this chassis is engineered for that duty. If the laptop will stay indoors in climate-controlled spaces, the ruggedisation adds cost and weight without benefit.
