Dell Precision 5470 (14-Inch, 2022)

Excellent productivity performance Solid and attractive build Bright, color-accurate screen Great keyboard and touchpad

Very expensive Thin chassis limits performance Still uses 720p webcam

“The Dell Precision 5470 is small and narrow, but it lacks the power of a portable workstation.”

Thin and light 14-inch design ; All-day battery life ; Great-looking, high-res 16:10 touch screen ; Up to 4TB of storage

Lackluster workstation performance ; Adapter required for common ports

Dell's Precision 5470 is a 14-inch laptop workstation that packs a punch, but you'll give up some performance to get its class-leading mobility and battery life.

Powerful performance in a premium package ; Sleek chassis, economical design ; Beautiful InfinityEdge touchscreen ; Outstanding battery life ; Advanced thermals keep things cool

Premium price point ; Lacks USB-A or HDMI ports

This premium workstation may not look the part at first glance, but make no mistake: the Precision 5470 is a low-key multitasking monster that was mindfully made for mobility — and the biz sector.

Sturdy, slim and lightweight design ; Strong performance ; Bright, colourful screen ; 4x Thunderbolt/USB-C ports

Expensive ; Modest battery life ; FHD+ (1920 x 1200) resolution ; 720p webcam

The slimline, lightweight design of the Precision 5470 is attractive, and will appeal to professional users who need a powerful laptop that's portable enough to carry on long trips or when working outdoors.

Extremely powerful ; Highly portable ; Exceptional battery life ; Robust, sleek design

Limited ports

Mini but mighty: the Dell Precision 5470 might not look like much, but its compact design, excellent battery life and incredible power make it arguably one of the best mobile workstations around.

Ultra-sleek form factor ; Supports Windows 11 Pro ; Glitch-free performance with 12th Gen Intel chip ; Smooth touchscreen experience

Doesn’t support USB-A ports ; Heating issues ; Expensive

The thin & light laptop segment has undergone a major paradigm shift in recent times. OEMs are now delivering powerful, glitch-free performance packed in an ultra-sleek form factor. The Dell Precision 14 5470 is a classic example of a thin & light laptop.

Powerful processor ; Good battery life ; XPS build quality

Not workstation GPU performance ; Needs a docking station

The built quality, processor platform and elegant design make the Dell Precision 5470 an exciting choice for power users. But the RX A1000 GPU is underwhelming for those expecting video sparks to fly anything like a desktop system.
