Dell Latitude 5400 14" FHD — Built-in 4G LTE for Work Without Limits

The Dell Latitude 5400 is a business-grade 14" laptop engineered for professionals who need reliable connectivity wherever they are. With built-in 4G LTE (nano-SIM slot included), an Intel Core i5-8265U processor, 256GB NVMe SSD, and Windows 11 Pro, this laptop keeps you productive in the office, on-site, or in transit — no Wi-Fi hotspot required. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty and free standard Australian shipping.

Why the Latitude 5400?

• 4G LTE built-in — Insert a nano-SIM and connect anywhere on Australia's mobile networks. No dongle, no tethering.
• NVMe SSD speed — 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD boots Windows 11 in seconds and handles large files without stuttering.
• Intel WiFi 6 (AX200) — Up to 2.4Gbps on AX networks with lower latency — future-ready wireless for modern offices.
• Windows 11 Pro included — Full business OS with BitLocker, Remote Desktop, and domain support. Genuine licence, fully activated.
• Full HD anti-glare display — 1920×1080 IPS-type WVA panel is easy on the eyes in any lighting, with a privacy shutter on the IR webcam.
• Free AU shipping + 12-month warranty — Ships free anywhere in Australia (under 1kg standard rate). Covered by Reboot IT's full 12-month repair or replace warranty.

Performance in the Real World

For the mobile professional — field engineer, sales rep, healthcare worker, or remote consultant — the Latitude 5400 removes the single biggest friction point of working away from the office: finding Wi-Fi. Insert any Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone nano-SIM and you have always-on internet. The Intel Core i5-8265U (8th Gen, up to 3.9GHz turbo) handles Teams calls, browser-heavy workflows, and spreadsheets with ease, while the 8GB DDR4 RAM keeps multiple applications running smoothly side by side.

Back at the desk, the full-size backlit keyboard — with a dual pointing stick for precision mousing without taking your hands off the keys — makes long documentation sessions comfortable. The USB-C port supports both DisplayPort and Power Delivery, so a single cable can drive an external monitor and charge the laptop simultaneously. The HDMI 1.4 port covers boardroom projectors and older displays without adapters.

Video conferencing is handled well: the IR camera (with Windows Hello face login) includes a built-in privacy shutter — physically slide it closed when you're not on camera. The TPM 2.0 chip and Intel vPro-compatible chipset mean IT departments can manage and secure this device remotely, making it a compliant choice for businesses with strict security policies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up 4G LTE on this laptop?

Insert a standard nano-SIM from any Australian carrier (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, or an MVNO) into the nano-SIM slot on the side of the laptop. Windows 11 will detect the modem automatically. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Cellular to manage your connection and APN settings. No driver installation is typically required.

Can I connect an external monitor?

Yes — two ways. Use the HDMI 1.4 port for a direct connection to any HDMI monitor or projector up to 4K. Alternatively, use the USB-C port (which supports DisplayPort Alt Mode) with a USB-C to DisplayPort or USB-C to HDMI cable. The USB-C port also supports Power Delivery charging, so you can charge the laptop through the same port.

Is Windows 11 Pro the right version for me?

Windows 11 Pro includes everything in Windows 11 Home, plus: BitLocker drive encryption, Remote Desktop (host), Windows Sandbox, Group Policy management, and the ability to join a corporate Active Directory domain. If you're a business user or want enhanced security features, Pro is the right choice. The licence is genuine and fully activated — no additional purchase required.

Does the Intel Core i5-8265U officially support Windows 11?

The i5-8265U (Whiskey Lake, 8th Gen) is not on Microsoft's official Windows 11 supported CPU list, as Microsoft capped hardware support at 8th Gen for OEM systems. However, Reboot IT installs Windows 11 Pro using an approved pathway for business refurbishers, and the laptop ships fully activated and running Windows 11 Pro with TPM 2.0 enabled. It will receive Windows 11 updates as normal.

How long does shipping take, and is it really free?

Yes — free standard shipping to anywhere in Australia. Most metro orders arrive in 2–4 business days; regional areas may take 4–7 business days. Express shipping is available at checkout for an additional fee. All orders are dispatched from our Melbourne warehouse, typically within 1 business day.

What does the 12-month warranty cover?

The warranty covers hardware failures — screen, motherboard, keyboard, ports, and all internal components. If a covered fault occurs within 12 months, Reboot IT will repair or replace the unit at no cost. The battery is covered for 30 days from delivery (battery must be within spec on arrival). Accidental damage and liquid damage are not covered.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

The Latitude 5400 has one M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slot (PCIe) and supports up to 32GB DDR4 RAM across two SODIMM slots. The 8GB unit ships with one 8GB module, leaving one slot free for a RAM upgrade. SSD swaps are also straightforward. Upgrades are not included in the warranty unless performed by Reboot IT.
