Dell Latitude 5400 Touch — 14" Business Laptop
A 14-inch business laptop with a quad-core Intel Core i7-8665U vPro, 16GB of DDR4 memory, a 512GB NVMe SSD and a Full HD anti-glare touchscreen with an infrared camera for Windows Hello face login, running Windows 11 Pro. Supplied with a 12-month warranty and free Australian shipping.
Key Benefits
-
Quad-core Core i7-8665U — four cores and eight threads boosting to 4.8GHz, comfortably ahead of the dual-core machines that dominate this price bracket.
-
Windows Hello face login — an infrared camera sits alongside the webcam, so the machine unlocks by looking at it. No password typed at the desk, and no fingerprint smudges.
-
512GB NVMe SSD — double the storage of a typical ex-fleet build, with room for large project files and several years of email archive.
-
Wi-Fi 6 (Intel AX200) — a current-generation wireless card, not the Wi-Fi 5 part these machines usually ship with, plus Bluetooth 5.0.
-
14" Full HD anti-glare touchscreen — direct finger input for reviewing, signing and annotating, on a matte panel that stays readable under office lighting.
-
Free Australian shipping — tracked delivery anywhere in Australia at no extra cost, backed by a 12-month warranty.
Performance in Use
The Latitude 5400 is Dell’s mainstream 14-inch business machine, and the i7-8665U is the strongest processor offered in it. Four cores and eight threads to 4.8GHz handle heavy multitasking that dual-core ultrabooks of the same era struggle with — large spreadsheets, a dozen browser tabs and a video call at the same time.
With 16GB of DDR4-2667 and a 512GB NVMe solid-state drive, the machine is quick where it is noticeable: instant wake, immediate application launch, and no slowdown as a working session grows through the day. Memory sits in two SO-DIMM slots and can be taken to 32GB, and the M.2 drive is replaceable — this is a machine you can extend rather than replace.
Connectivity is complete for a desk or a site visit: HDMI and USB-C for external displays, three USB 3.1 Type-A ports, built-in Gigabit Ethernet for wired-only environments, and an SD card reader. TPM 2.0 and vPro round out the corporate security and management feature set.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the face login work with Windows 11?
Yes. The infrared camera is a Windows Hello device and is supported natively in Windows 11 Pro — enrol your face in Settings and the machine unlocks when you sit in front of it.
Is the battery replaced?
Batteries are tested, not automatically replaced. Grade A units hold 70% or more of original design capacity and Grade B units 50–70%. Every battery carries a 30-day warranty.
Can the memory be upgraded beyond 16GB?
Yes. The Latitude 5400 has two SO-DIMM slots and supports up to 32GB of DDR4. This unit ships with a single 16GB module, so a second can be added without removing the first.
Can I upgrade the SSD?
Yes. The 512GB M.2 NVMe drive is accessible under the base panel and can be replaced with a larger drive.
Does it have Wi-Fi 6?
Yes. This unit carries an Intel AX200 card, which is Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with Bluetooth 5.0 — a step above the Wi-Fi 5 card fitted to most machines of this generation.
Is the touchscreen a pen display?
It is a capacitive touchscreen for finger input. No stylus is included and the panel is not an active-pen digitiser.
