TOP-NOTCH PERFORMANCE
AND BATTERY LIFE
The Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 proves you don’t
have to sacrifice performance for long battery
life. While our review unit topped the heap in
some tests, it finished no lower than the middle
of the pack in others.
It also delivered the
best graphics
performance we’ve
seen outside of a
dedicated GPU. The
selling point,
however, was the
battery life, which
exactly matched that
of a Snapdragon
850-powered
tablet, the Samsung
Galaxy Book 2 (go.

providing the
performance of
notebooks powered
by Intel Core
microprocessors.
We test using a
mix of synthetic and
real-world

benchmarks. The latter category loads apps like
GIMP and OpenOffice to simulate real-world
workloads. These latter tests are based on
PCMark 8, which use a battery of different apps
grouped into three benchmarks: PCMark 8
Work, Home, and Creative.
While Work emphasizes office tasks such
as video calls, spreadsheets, and word
processing, the Home test begins steering
the workloads toward web browsing and

We combined all three PCMark tests into one grouping, ranked by performance,
with the Dell Latitude 7400 debuting in first place. With a few laptops we
went no further than the PCMark Work test. Note the Qualcomm Snapdragon-
powered Samsung Galaxy Book 2 at the bottom.
