Howdy

We have a large volume of these 11th Gen Dell's to clear for April.

I've also put in a cheap upgrade to 16Gb Ram if required, just select it from the Drop down menu.

Dell Latitude 5420
Intel i5 1135G7 2.40Ghz
8Gb Ram
256Gb NVME
14" FHD
Win 11 Pro

    @Calmago Hi, is this powered via usb-c? so I can use my usb-c docking to supply power to the laptop as well as connected to the monitor? thanks.

      It is upgradable. I use this exact model with 16GB as my daily work machine. It runs well and I've never had any issues with it.

      They literally say in the deal post that there is a ram upgrade option.
      And you can see there is one available if you go to the item page too.

    We purchased 6x laptops from these guys last year on eBay sales. The 5420s we received were in outstanding condition and this is a bargain price on what we paid last year.

    Just bought another 6 and hopefully they're as good :)

    We did have a slight quality issue with 2 non-5420s and seller was happy to organise a return. We kept them anyway as just for admin purposes and didn't affect use - but it was good to know store was responsive.

      Can vouch for their warranty. Had one (diff model) that the USB-C charging port failed after about 6 months so couldn't charge it anymore.

      They covered return cost and sent me another one.

          Our customer service team offer the same service regardless of which channel. Only issue with eBay is if you want a replacement, but open a return request, we are forced to following the return for refund request.

          From their ebay store I think that one was. Just contacted them via eBay messaging, they supplied a return label, I sent back and within about a week they'd sent out a replacement.

          But as rep says, shouldn't matter either way.

      The latitude series fingerprint readers are known to be pretty useless after a few years. I haven't used mine in a long time because it is frustrating when it fails 99% of the time) and I have to enter the password anyway.

      The official trick to make it work is to lick your finger, rub it on your shirt lightly, then stick it in the reader. This works, the remaining 1% of the time.

            @anthman: I received mine today. Really disappointed - it certainly does not feel like an "A grade" refurbished laptop (the Lenovo yoga l13 deal recently was much much much better condition - what I would expect for an A grade).

            Mine has the following:
            * 82% battery capacity (ok)
            * A crack on the base plate
            * Missing rubber feet and the rubber bar has one dangling loose
            * The screen has lots of scratches and dents and stains that seem stuck on.

            Really disappointed, I feel cheated. Sorry for those who clicked the link I found, I was too trusting given all the upvotes.

              @anthman: Contact them, I'm sure they'll be reasonable to deal with.

              Not what I'd call A grade according to their description. Apart from the battery scraping in above 80% definitely seems to fit the B grade category.

                  @anthman: Thanks all. I contacted ACT and they gave me a return label which I've shipped back today for a replacement. I just need the screen to be unmarked which according to the comments, seems all possible. Scuffs on the outside, I don't mind.

              @Nalar: Screen is fine
              Case is scuffed all over but expected on 2nd hand
              buttons are either worn or dirty.
              Rubber foot missing
              Hinge feels loose-ish but I dont know if thats normal
              Battery is 88%

              • Shadowsfury on 16/04/2025 - 09:22
                +3

                @Nalar: I couldn't wait and picked it up on the way to work this morning and threw the box out at the station, bringing the laptop into work with me.

                The plastic body gives some serious flex - but I guess that's how the weight is kept down.

                Inside it looks very good:
                - keyboard looks basically unused
                - some minor scratches on the palmrests that are only visible under light reflections
                - no imprints on screen
                - hinge also feels flimsy but I think that normal

                Outside is a bit worse but acceptable:
                - missing a front foot as well, although doesn't seem to make it wobbly
                - the longer rubber foot thing has some serious wear/peeling - might see what i can do about that somehow….
                - on the lid can see where a sticker has been removed - not because there's still residue but because its a different shade of grey in that area (as though it was never exposed to the sun)

                Battery I'll need to test when I get home though, I cbf doing Windows setup while at work to check but given the rest of the condition I'll expect the battery life is OK.

                Came with a Dell branded USB-C charger.

                I'm happy enough with it.

                  edit, one of the front rubber feet is missing. should i remove the other one? Haven't figured out how to get into the bios yet so i can put linux on it. I haven't figured out how to check the battery % but will edit it in when I do.

                    Haha yeah I'm undecided on leaving one foot on or just removing the remaining one. Why so many lost one foot?!?!

                    Battery - Command prompt in admin again - powercfg /batteryreport

                    Out of interest, hows the hinge is it solid or very loose? and same with flex of the bottom part? is it flexy

                          @Spadty195: That's luck of the draw. Mine says it will do about 6 hours but i haven't tested it from 100% to zero yet, so I can't say how accurate that estimate is. If battery life is important, i'd skip this one and get a used Lenovo and buy a new battery from Ebay imho.

                          @Spadty195: Depending on your use case/how many hours you need, maybe consider instead of carrying around the power brick, carry around a big portable battery to keep it topped up instead. Obviously the portabe battery can run out too but maybe is enough to keep you going and then just charge both at home.

            +1

            @anthman: To close the loop: I sent the laptop back, all good. Got a replacement sent - screen not as bad but still lots of keyboard imprints. Also there is an area on the right that looks likes it pressed in - like if you were to push on the screen and the colour changes - I suspect it's from keyboard pressing on the screen when closed during its previous use.

            Overall, I would not buy from these guys again - their definition of A grade does not meet the expectation of A grade, even by their own definition on their website. Read the other comments for similar experiences. I would rate this "A grade" as B+ at best.

            Compared to the other Lenovo yoga l13 refurb deal (same price), this is absolutely night and day - the Lenovo yoga is near new condition except for battery, the definition of A grade.

            Buyer beware.

      No sorry, not really seeing volumes of 15" units these days.

      The companies buying these devices are expecting staff to take them to and from the office. 14" is the largest device people will accept for this but also the smallest screen size people are happy to use by itself.

      It's a bit of a sweet spot.

    Anyone installed Linux on these?

    I've typically always used my work laptop for personal use too (with no major issues) but recently they've installed zscaler and traffic now going through proxy etc I'm more hesitant to use it for personal use now.

    I'm looking for a lightweight alternative that doesn't break the bank. 1.3kg or less is best, I don't need a powerhouse. I have a gaming pc for that. It'd just be for managing my proxmox and docker stuff, and web/e mail/ media consumption etc.

    (I'd really love a macbook air m2 onwards frankly but can't justify the price jump currently…)

      Linux should work just fine. These Hackintosh pretty well, too.

    OP, thanks for making the RAM upgrade option!

  • krammis76 on 08/04/2025 - 11:27

    OP is there plenty of stock at the moment? Need to move some $$ around before I purchase. :)

      At the current sell rate, maybe another hours worth.

    What's the difference between this and the 7-series Latitudes?

    • willyroo on 08/04/2025 - 11:43

      Virtually indistinguishable for the same size and generation.

      The 7 series move closer to the ultrabook type of style.

    Hey @Calmago just wanted to check what drives are you guys using for storage upgrade?

    • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 08/04/2025 - 11:41

      As in specific drives? Couldn't tell you sorry as we order from suppliers what is available at the time. They are new however.

      • bruhminister on 08/04/2025 - 11:54

        There are 1tb and 2tb options listed under upgrades. So just wanted to check if they're gen3 or gen4
