Dell Rugged 5414 14″Touch Intel Core i7 6th Gen/ 16GB RAM/ 512GB SSD with Windows 10 Pro

When we think of Dell computers, we tend to think of the types of laptops, desktops and tablets you’d find in your local big box store. The world of rugged computing is a bit more insular and specialized. You won’t find a Durabook, Getac or Panasonic Toughbook under a big yellow price tag logo or in the electronics section of a megastore. But don’t dismiss Dell’s rugged line of laptops. They are often just as good–and in some ways better–than their rugged competition.

Case in point, the Dell Latitude 5414 Rugged. This laptop ain’t playing around.

The Latitude 5414 is an overachiever among semi-rugged laptops, borrowing features from it’s fully-rugged big brother, the Dell Latitude Rugged Extreme, while maintaining the performance and comfort you’d expect from a less durable business laptop.

Durability and Rugged Features

There once was a time when Dell rugged laptops started out as consumer models and were built up from there, like family SUVs retrofitted to become armored vehicles. Those days are long gone. Today’s rugged Dells are tanks, designed from the ground up to perform in the toughest environments.

Constructed from premium materials and using advanced technology, the Dell Latitude 5414 holds up to more abuse than can be expected of a semi-rugged laptop.

• Rubberized corners and rigid design allow it to survive drops up to three feet
• QuadCool™ thermal management technology provides an operating temperature range of -20° to 140° Fahrenheit without loss of performance
• With port covers, water-resistant keyboard and sealing, the 5414 is IP52 certified for protection against dust and liquid ingress
• Low-glare, 1,000-nit screen is easy to read even in bright daylight

Connectivity

Rugged laptops are built with a broad range of field work applications in mind. That means they need to connect to any peripheral that you put in front of it. The Dell Latitude 5414 steps up to the plate with four USB ports (three USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0), SD, two serial ports, VGA, HDMI and two gigabit ethernet ports.

Also included is everything you’ll need for wireless connectivity. That includes Dell Wireless 1707 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and a dedicated GPS receiver.
