Dell Latitude 7450 vs Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura: Comparison
What is the difference between Dell Latitude 7450 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura?
The gap that matters here is refresh rate: Dell Latitude 7450 60 Hz against Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura 120 Hz, which puts Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura 50% ahead.
Which should you buy, Dell Latitude 7450 or Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura?
Buy the Dell Latitude 7450 for enterprise fleet deployment and frequent travelers, though it is not the pick for RAM upgraders. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura is the one to take for 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 7450 (7.4/10): the Latitude 7450 weighs 1.36 kg and uses a Core Ultra 7 155U with 16GB of LPDDR5X and a 14-inch 1920 x 1200 IPS panel. Thunderbolt 4, WiFi 6E and a 54Wh battery suit frequent travelers and enterprise fleet deployments. The 16GB of memory is soldered and the single storage slot is full, so RAM upgraders should look at other Latitude models. Graphics are integrated and the 60Hz screen is aimed at office work, which makes it a weak fit for gaming or heavy creative work.
