Sources & how to read these results
Higher is better. Each chart scales to the higher of the two comparable scores. The percentage is the higher score divided by the lower score, minus one. Differences of 5% or less are labelled similar.
These are published CPU reference scores, not tests of these specific laptops or seller units. Cooling, power limits, memory, and software affect actual performance. CPU scores do not measure battery life, graphics performance, or gaming frame rates.

Laptizo ratings are our editorial buying scores for the listed configurations, based on value, specifications, and seller terms.
The Latitude 5420 is our value pick for students, office users, and buyers working to a tighter budget. Its recorded Iqra Traders base offer is Rs. 51,000 for a used 11th Gen Core i5 / 8GB / 256GB unit with a 60-day checking warranty. The Latitude 7420's recorded base offer from the same retailer is Rs. 72,000 for a used 11th Gen Core i7 / 16GB / 256GB unit. That Rs. 21,000 premium buys more installed memory and a lighter, higher-tier chassis; both models belong to the same Tiger Lake generation, so the i7 badge alone is not a reason to stretch your budget. Choose the 7420 if you want 16GB from day one and carry your laptop frequently. Choose the 5420 if keeping the purchase price down matters more, and request a separate RAM-upgrade quote if your workload needs 16GB. Both base configurations have a 256GB SSD. The 7420's Telex 32GB / 256GB touchscreen offer at Rs. 136,499 is a separate configuration, and its six-month checking warranty does not describe the Rs. 72,000 base offer. Confirm the exact CPU, fitted display, battery health, and seller terms for the unit you are buying.

Practical differences between the listed laptop configurations.
| Category | Dell Dell Latitude 5420 | Dell Dell Latitude 7420 |
|---|---|---|
| Price & Value | Recorded base quote of Rs. 51,000 for a used 11th Gen Core i5 / 8GB / 256GB unit from Iqra Traders. Saves Rs. 21,000 while keeping the same processor generation and SSD capacity.Better | Recorded base quote of Rs. 72,000 for a used 11th Gen Core i7 / 16GB / 256GB unit from Iqra Traders. The premium is easier to justify for the extra installed RAM and more portable chassis than for the i7 label alone. |
| Installed Memory | 8GB RAM in the quoted base configuration. Suitable for lighter office and study workloads, but a 16GB upgrade is worth budgeting for heavier multitasking. Obtain a separate quote for an upgraded unit. | 16GB RAM in the quoted base configuration gives more room for browser tabs, office applications, and development tools immediately. The 32GB touchscreen listing is a different offer with its own price.Better |
| Storage | 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD in the base listing. Enough for Windows, applications, and a modest document library; larger storage requires a separate quote. | 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD in the base listing as well. Paying more for the 7420 does not increase the quoted storage capacity. |
| Build & Portability | Dell lists a configuration-dependent maximum weight of 1.37 kg for the 14-inch 5420. It is a practical business-laptop size, although the 7420 has the lower published chassis weights. | The higher-tier 7000-series design has Dell-listed laptop weights of 1.22 kg for carbon fibre and 1.31 kg for aluminium. Confirm the chassis and configuration of the seller's unit; the lighter design suits frequent commuting.Better |
| Display | The catalogue's base configuration is a 14-inch Full HD display at 1920x1080. The seller's headline listing does not establish the exact panel or brightness, so inspect the actual screen. | The catalogue's base configuration is also 14-inch Full HD at 1920x1080. The separate Telex 32GB offer explicitly includes touch; do not assume touch or a brighter panel is included in the Rs. 72,000 base quote. |
| Connectivity & Docking | The model specifications include two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, HDMI, USB-A, and Wi-Fi 6. It already covers USB-C docking and everyday office peripherals at the lower base price. | The model specifications also include two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, HDMI, USB-A, and Wi-Fi 6. There is no generational docking or wireless upgrade simply from choosing the 7420. |
| Keyboard & Security | The catalogue describes a backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, and HD webcam with a privacy shutter. The seller publishes a headline configuration, so confirm which optional features are fitted. | The catalogue describes the same headline features: a backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, and HD webcam with a privacy shutter. Check the individual unit rather than assuming every 7420 has identical equipment. |
| Battery & Condition | The catalogue lists a 63Wh battery and an up-to-12-hour runtime claim. This is a used unit with no recorded battery-health measurement; that claim is not a measured advantage over the 7420. | The catalogue also lists a 63Wh battery, with an estimated 4-8 hours of light use. Actual backup depends on battery wear and workload. Request battery reports for both units before choosing on runtime. |
| Checking Warranty | A 60-day checking warranty is recorded for the Rs. 51,000 Iqra Traders base offer. Confirm the coverage, exclusions, and claim process with the seller. | No checking-warranty duration is recorded for the Rs. 72,000 Iqra Traders base offer, so it cannot be ranked against the 5420's cover. Telex's six-month checking warranty belongs to its separate Rs. 136,499 32GB touchscreen offer. |
