Dell Latitude 5400 — 14" Full HD Touchscreen Business Laptop
A 14-inch business laptop with a Full HD touchscreen, Intel Core i5-8265U, 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD, running Windows 11 Pro. Professionally tested and graded by Reboot IT, with a 12-month warranty included.
Key Benefits
-
Full HD touchscreen — A genuine differentiator at this price. Touch input suits form-filling, sign-on-glass, kiosk duty and anyone who prefers scrolling and tapping directly on the screen.
-
Intel Core i5-8265U processor — An 8th Gen quad-core with eight threads, boosting to 3.90 GHz. The move to four cores at this tier was a substantial step up from the dual-core chips that preceded it.
-
Windows 11 Pro installed — This generation meets Microsoft's Windows 11 requirements, so the machine has a supported upgrade path rather than being capped at Windows 10. Pro adds domain join, BitLocker and Remote Desktop host.
-
256GB SSD — Solid-state storage for fast boot, quick file access and better resistance to knocks than a mechanical drive.
-
8GB RAM — Enough to keep a browser, email and Office documents running together comfortably.
-
Business-grade Latitude build — The 5000 series was specified for corporate fleets, with a durable chassis and a keyboard built for daily use over several years.
Performance in Use
The Latitude 5400 is Dell's mainstream business laptop, and this configuration is a strong one. The i5-8265U is an 8th Generation quad-core with Hyper-Threading — four cores and eight threads where earlier machines in this class offered two and four. That doubling is felt directly in everyday multitasking: a browser with many tabs, a video call and Office applications all running together stay responsive rather than competing for the processor.
The touchscreen is what sets this unit apart from most business laptops at this price. Beyond the convenience of scrolling and tapping, it opens up practical uses that a non-touch machine cannot serve — form completion in the field, customer sign-on-glass, kiosk or point-of-sale duty, and any workflow where reaching for the screen is quicker than the trackpad.
Its other real advantage is longevity. This generation meets the requirements for Windows 11, so it arrives on a currently supported operating system rather than one approaching end of life — a meaningful distinction against the 4th to 7th Generation machines that make up much of the refurbished market. With Windows 11 Pro installed, domain join, BitLocker encryption and Remote Desktop host are all available, which matters for business deployment. As a primary work machine, a fleet addition, or a capable second laptop, this is one of the better-balanced options in the range.

FAQ
Is Windows 11 Pro already installed and activated?
Yes. The unit ships with Windows 11 Pro installed and activated, ready to use out of the box. There is no separate licence to purchase.
Does the touchscreen support a stylus?
The panel is a capacitive touchscreen supporting finger input and passive capacitive styli. It is not an active-pen digitiser, so pressure-sensitive drawing is not supported. For everyday touch use, form filling and signatures it works well.
Can the RAM or storage be upgraded?
The Latitude 5400 has an accessible M.2 slot for the SSD and SODIMM memory, so upgrades are generally possible. Configurations vary between production runs — if a particular upgrade is essential to you, contact us before ordering and we will check the actual unit.
What condition is the battery in?
Battery health is graded before dispatch: 70% or better of original capacity for Grade A, between 50% and 70% for Grade B. Batteries are consumable items and carry a 30-day warranty.
What ports does it have?
The 5400 provides USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, Ethernet, an SD card reader and a 3.5mm audio jack. USB-C supports docking, which makes it straightforward to run as a desktop replacement with a single cable.
What shipping options are available?
Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
