5420$270

Howdy!

Lots of messages for people that missed the 7420 deal yesterday. As mentioned, throwing up another deal for the 5420's.

These units are B grade, so will have moderate scratches or paint peel on the bottom cover, may have a battery between 50~79% (most are on the upper end of battery health). There is a large quantity, and pricing like this won't be repeated again. $199 is a steal.

Some example photos can be found here. Please note these photos are of the products before they are cleaned and packed.

        I mean, they are. Companies including the one I work for pay e-waste companies to take the junk away. They then flog them off on these websites as 'refurbished'.

    google says "The Dell Latitude 5420 supports a maximum of 64GB of DDR4 RAM, with two memory slots. You can upgrade using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB modules in pairs"
    is that correct?

    Pretty good. Nothing fancy, but ticks all the boxes for being a completely serviceable and usable laptop. Usually at this price you get something with serious flaws like 8GB of RAM or a really anemic CPU. This is good on both counts.

    • bargaino on 30/07/2025 - 20:24

      anemic in what sense? Laptops have rarely been CPU-bound in a very, very long time.

      The 7000 series is a much nicer device, plus it's A grade instead of these B grade ones.

      The only real downside from yesterdays is the soldered RAM situation, but 16GB is enough for every day non-gaming use.

      I'm not having a go at the seller here, but basically these are likely to have been thrashed to death given they're about 4 years old now. All the same model ones in my company are failing now and that's with low level usage - Teams meetings and Word documents. It is very unlikely that any 'refurbishment' actually happens in terms of actually replacing any parts, as they aren't actually replaceable other than Ram/SSD which wouldn't be the parts that die anyway.

      • mrvaluepack on 30/07/2025 - 17:10

          Often the batteries have less than 20min capacity, but aside from that, just general freezing and extreme slowness (even if freshly re-imaged), so I'm not too sure exactly.

        We have a bunch at our office, the ones that rarely leave the desk are in good condition and the ones taken on the road all day tend to get badly scratched up. Almost all of them needed a new battery at the 3-4 year mark, an ebay replacement will get you back to 6 hours battery life again (genuine for $75 or so, or you can gamble on third party for $50)

        Beyond that they've been reliable units and had fewer hardware failures than the lenovo T14's we were running at the same time.

        You can see this stuff in the Bios.

          Once upon a time, in the pixel-lit valleys of Computaria, the wise wizards of Microsoftia sealed their enchanted treasure chests with spells known only as Genuine Keys. These magical runes—etched with the power of activation—were whispered across valleys of silicon and stored deep within scrolls called “Licensing Agreements.”

          Each key had a purpose. Some opened the golden gates of Windows 7, ushering brave knights into a land of transparent windows and Aero dreams. Others summoned Windows 10, where Cortana the helpful spirit guided villagers through Start Menus and security updates. And then, there were the chosen keys of Windows 11, sleek and mystical, opening the realm of curved corners and virtual desktops.

          But beware, dear one: counterfeit keys prowled in the shadows, attempting to mimic the sacred symbols. Only the true Genuine Keys could awaken the sleeping OS from slumber and bestow full functionality upon the Chosen Device."

      One of several comments about exploding batteries, or batteries catching fire.

      How common is this? Or is it just an internet rumour?

      I mean, there must be hundreds of millions, maybe more, laptop batteries in existence. I guess some may catch fire spontaneously sometimes. Like, it happens to people too.

      Is there evidence or analysis that eBay-sourced batteries are more prone to catching fire? (Other than Dell, or HP, or xxx telling people there is a greater 'risk'?)

      Not being too conspiratorial, but… I imagine it would be in the interests of OEMs to say that non-original replacement parts were less reliable, or potential fire/nuclear contamination/whatever risk than their perfect more expensive parts.

      But I'm happy to be convinced by the evidence.

      (BTW, I do understand that my sample of maybe 20 replacement batteries, with none of them burning the place down, in my office over the years is not really statistically valid.)

          Thank you for the link.

          A couple of thoughts.

          That is a Reddit thread. A Reddit thread is not the gold standard for any kind of 'evidence'. To be fair though, there are a lot of pictures of many different types of devices and batteries. But it is about 'swollen batteries', not laptop batteries spontaneously catching fire.

          And even the FAQ for the thread says: "How dangerous is it to have a swollen battery?
          As long as proper precautions are taken, it is not incredibly dangerous… Even though a battery is swollen, that doesn't necessarily mean that it is a ticking time bomb."

          Hell, there are car batteries in that thread. Should we never purchase a car battery due to risk of swelling/fire?

        Hi @Dan24 @faricity

        Not following the page after confirmation from Calmago so only just saw your comments.

        Did further research and if my guess is right, the 5420 does support 4 displays but maybe due to it uses one of the Thunderbolt 4 for powering, hence one less port for display without adding docking.

        Thanks for the specs link and real life confirmation tho, good to know regardless.

        Cheers!
