AUGUST 2019 PCWorld 93indicative of the sort of performance you’ll
receive on simpler, older games. While you
could try playing some of the latest 3D games
on a device like the
Latitude 7400 2-in-1, the
sheer complexity of the
scenes they render would
likely bring this laptop’s
low-end MX150 GPU to its
knees, unless the game’s
resolution and image
quality are dialed down to
extremely low levels. Still,
the Latitude 7400
outperforms everything
that doesn’t use a
dedicated GPU.
The piece de
resistance, of course, is
the Latitude 7400’s
battery life. Because of
its massive 78Wh
battery, we didn’t have
much doubt that it
could deliver on its
promises of all-day
battery life. And boy,
does it: With a battery
life north of 18 hours,
the Dell Latitude 7400 is
a perfect choice for a
transcontinental or
transpacific flight, say
from San Francisco to
Taipei, or from London to Los Angeles. It just
keeps chugging away, even with display
brightness dialed up to our standardized levels.What can we say? Sure, Dell stuffed the Latitude 7400 with an oversized
78Wh battery, but it paid off, equaling the Qualcomm Snapdragon-
powered Samsung Galaxy Book 2 in battery life—down to the minute.
