Microsoft Windows PC & Laptop

You can use any form of PC, MiniPC, or Laptop, that is running Microsoft Windows OS as a digital signage media player. In this test, we used a Dell Latitude Laptop (scroll to see specifications). It passed all of our tests except the 4K video, though keep in mind the performance is 100% based on the hardware.

What does Dell say about the Dell Latitude E7450?
