Dell Latitude 5450 vs Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura refresh rate compared

Who each one is for
The Dell Latitude 5450 is the one to take for IT fleets that service in-house, though it is not the pick for gaming or creative workloads. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura suits travel and commuting where under a kilogram matters and long document and code sessions on an excellent OLED panel, though it is the wrong buy for anyone who plans to add memory later, nothing is upgradable and gaming beyond light titles, this is integrated graphics only. Our rating of the Dell Latitude 5450 (7.4/10): the Latitude 5450 has a Core i7-1355U, 16GB of DDR5 in SO-DIMM slots and a 14-inch 1920 x 1200 IPS panel. Thunderbolt 4, WiFi 6E and a 54Wh battery in a 1.5 kg body make it a solid pick for IT teams that service laptops in-house, since the memory is removable. Graphics are integrated and the 60Hz screen is built for office work, not gaming or creative tasks. No storage slot is free, so more capacity means replacing the drive.
Where the two are identical
