Dell Latitude 5450 upgrades
Released 2024 · on sale
The CPU is a mobile Intel part that is most likely soldered (inferred, not stated in sources), so there is no CPU slot. There is no SD card reader, and no 2.5" or 3.5" bays. Wi-Fi uses a separate M.2 2230 slot, and an optional WWAN card uses an M.2 3042 slot.
