Hey there! Recently stumbled upon an offer for the Dell Inspiron 14 (5420) featuring the i7 1260p, mx570, 12GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD for about 600€. Planning to snag this deal for my office tasks and some light After Effects usage. Anyone out there with hands-on experience willing to share their thoughts? Your insights are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Is a Dell Latitude 5420 14" 512 Go RAM 16Go i5-1145G7 worth it for 300€?
New Dell 14 Inspiron sucks, now what do I get instead?
Buy a used Dell Latitude instead.
$200-300 can get you a Latitude 7390 from 2018-2019. If you want a warranty— one that last until 2024 or 2025, longer than the 1 year consumer warranty and actually get you great service (like technician coming to your home the next day to fix a fan service), get a Latitude 7420 or 5420 from 2021.
The consumer laptops in the $700 range often give you similar specs to their $1200+ machines — and this means they often cut corners somewhere else. Build quality, QC, service, etc.
