Dell Latitude 5411

The last Latitude line model with trackpoint and AC adapter support introduced with the D600 in 2003.
Visually similar to its predecessor (5400/5401), but the chassis, instead of being black, became gray, covered with silver paint.

The 5000 series (initially still with an "E") replaced the former E6000 series in 2015. Starting with the E5470, there has been a "macbookization" of the Latitude family of laptops. And the 5410/5411 models are a clear example of this.
Silver body, black display bezel and keyboard, power status LED on the front and the overall shape and dimensions of the device are very reminiscent of the older MacBook Pro model.

Unfortunately, despite the overall rigidity and lack of creaks or other signs of poor quality, the laptop feels quite fragile and not very solid. There's a bit of a lack of a feeling of higher-end materials, as was the case with the E6430, for example.

As for the model designation - the 1 at the end indicates the use of an H-series processor, i.e. capable of higher performance than representatives of the energy-efficient U-series. As a result, the 5411, compared to the 5410, offers significantly more processing power and a better cooling system, at the cost of a slightly shorter battery life.
Unfortunately, a better cooling system is not enough. Without turning off the "turbo boost" option in the UEFI settings, the processor, reaching a clock frequency of 4.6 GHz, heated up to around 100°C. Limiting the frequency to the base 2.6 GHz helps a lot, and the chip doesn't exceed 85°C, still offering performance slightly higher than the almost 10 years older i5-2500, which the U-series processors can't do. Intel didn't make an effort.
It's a real shame that Dell doesn't offer variants of these models with processors from AMD.
