BGDell Latitude 5310 The compact 13.3-inch mainstream business laptop from the Latitude 5000 series
The Dell Latitude 5310 is the unusually compact member of the mainstream Latitude 5000 series — a 13.3-inch size in a line that normally lives at 14 and 15 inches. With a magnesium chassis, an optional 60 Wh battery and upgradeable memory, it is a sensible refurbished business laptop from ITR Bulgaria for people who carry the machine every day and already work in a Dell environment.
Benefits
Why the rare 13.3-inch Dell Latitude 5310 makes sense as a refurbished business laptop from the mainstream Latitude series
13.3″ in a 14″+ series
Latitude 5000 is usually a 14- or 15.6-inch line. The 5310 is the rarer 13.3-inch variant — the compact end of the mainstream series.
Magnesium chassis from about 1.22 kg
Magnesium alloy is lighter than aluminium at comparable strength — which is why the Dell Latitude 5310 starts at around 1.22 kg with a 42 Wh battery, a non-touch HD display and an M.2 SSD, below the 1.48 kg starting weight of the 14-inch Dell Latitude 5410.
SO-DIMM upgrade to 64 GB
Two SO-DIMM slots take up to 64 GB DDR4 — rare in the 13.3-inch class, where most compact business laptops use soldered memory with no upgrade path.
Optional 60 Wh ExpressCharge (up to 80% in an hour)
A 60 Wh battery with Dell ExpressCharge returns 80% in about 60 minutes. Larger than the entry Latitude 3000 series and handy when you work away from an outlet.
13.3″ FHD IPS up to 300 nits
On the FHD IPS configuration the display reaches 300 nits with an anti-glare finish — readable near a window or in a brighter room.
Camera with optional IR + privacy shutter
A 720p camera with a physical privacy shutter is available, and on some configurations an IR sensor for face sign-in through Windows Hello once it is set up — no password to type.
Full RJ45 + optional Thunderbolt 3
A full-size RJ45 port for wired networking without a dongle, 2× USB-A, and optional Thunderbolt 3 on some configurations — a solid set for docking and peripherals.
Comet Lake-U with vPro options
Intel Core 10th Gen (Comet Lake-U), with configurations up to vPro — letting the IT team manage and remotely support the machine centrally.
TPM 2.0 + optional ControlVault 3
Corporate security: TPM 2.0 as standard, an optional Dell ControlVault 3 to protect credentials, a spill-resistant keyboard and an optional fingerprint reader.
Value as a refurbished laptop
As a used business laptop from the mainstream Latitude series, the Dell Latitude 5310 gives you a compact business machine with a real warranty at a more reasonable price than a new equivalent.
Dell Latitude 5310: the rare 13.3-inch mainstream Latitude from 2020
Dell's Latitude 5000 series lived at 14 and 15 inches for a long time. The compact 13.3-inch format was something Dell reserved for the premium flagship — the Latitude 7000 line, home to the 7310, 7320 and 7330. That makes the 5310 a little unusual: a 13.3-inch business laptop from the mainstream series, with its own magnesium chassis, an optional 60 Wh battery and the Comet Lake-U platform. Within the mainstream class it is the compact rarity — which is exactly why it now shows up in smaller numbers on the refurbished market.
A little context about the series itself helps place it. Latitude 5000 is Dell's workhorse — the line corporate IT departments buy in the highest volume year after year, because it balances price, business features and serviceability. Its classic home is the 14- and 15.6-inch size; the compact business Latitude was for years a 12.5-inch model, later folded into this same 13.3-inch 53xx line. So the 5310 inherits the character of a mainstream Latitude — calm, corporate, built to last a multi-year cycle — but in a smaller body than the series usually wears. This is not a premium machine that demands attention; it is a working tool the IT department understands and supports easily.
The chassis is magnesium alloy — lighter than aluminium at comparable strength, which is why the machine starts at around 1.22 kg with a 42 Wh battery, a non-touch HD display and an M.2 SSD. That is noticeably below the 14-inch Dell Latitude 5410, which starts at around 1.48 kg with its aluminium body. The difference is felt not on the scale in the shop, but in the bag of a consultant moving the laptop between three client offices in a single day. The laptop passes MIL-STD-810G testing, and the keyboard is spill-resistant — details that matter when the machine travels daily rather than sitting on a desk.
Under the lid the platform is 10th-generation Intel Core (Comet Lake-U), with configurations up to vPro for central management. The memory is the more interesting part: the Dell Latitude 5310 has two SO-DIMM slots and takes up to 64 GB DDR4 — rare in the 13.3-inch class, where most compact business laptops use soldered memory with no upgrade path. Even the premium 13.3-inch Dell Latitude 7310 gives way here — it relies on soldered DDR4-2666 and an optional carbon fiber chassis, while the 5310 leaves the upgrade route open after purchase. The optional 60 Wh ExpressCharge battery reaches up to 80% in about an hour with the suitable bundled Dell charger, ExpressCharge mode enabled and the laptop off — the safety margin between two meetings in different buildings. The display is 13.3 inches and, on the FHD IPS configuration, reaches 300 nits with an anti-glare finish; the camera is 720p with a physical privacy shutter and an optional IR sensor for Windows Hello. The full-size RJ45 port stays too — still useful in offices running wired networks — alongside 2× USB-A and optional Thunderbolt 3 on some configurations.
Trust in these processors was also earned through one expensive mistake the industry remembers by an abbreviation. In 1994, mathematician Thomas Nicely discovered that the Pentium divided incorrectly in rare cases — in his initial calculations the error appeared past the eighth decimal place. Intel first downplayed it with the estimate of “once in 27,000 years” for the average spreadsheet user; IBM halted production of its Pentium-based PCs, customers insisted, and Intel offered no-questions-asked replacement of the affected chips. The company took a 475 million dollar charge for the replacement and write-off. The lesson proved worth more than the sum: ever since, each generation's precision has been checked paranoidly — the Comet Lake cores in this Latitude included. Sometimes quality is the child of public embarrassment.
Among its direct mainstream rivals sits the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 1 (Intel) — also 13.3 inches, but with the classic ThinkPad keyboard and TrackPoint, at around 1.38 kg. If you care about the ThinkPad typing feel, the L13 is the logical alternative; if the priority is lower weight and the SO-DIMM upgrade, the 5310 wins. The honest trade-off here is the model's own rarity: because Dell built fewer 13.3-inch Latitude 5000 units, the choice on the refurbished market is more limited than for the 14-inch Latitude. Anyone who wants more screen and wider availability will find the 14-inch 5410 the easier pick from the same series. As a refurbished business laptop from ITR Bulgaria, the 5310 makes sense for a company already working with Dell that wants a compact machine: a used laptop worth buying not only for the price, but because it arrives checked, configured and with a real warranty.
Who it's for
Scenarios where the Dell Latitude 5310 makes the most sense
Mobile consultants who prioritise weight
A consultant who spends the day moving between offices and cafes feels the difference between the starting weights of 1.22 and 1.48 kg by the third trip. The compact magnesium chassis and optional 60 Wh battery carry through the day without hunting for an outlet.
Small businesses already on Dell
A company that already uses Dell docks and Dell Command Update adds a Dell Latitude 5310 without changing its processes. A mainstream Latitude slots naturally into existing Dell infrastructure.
Frequent business travel
For a salesperson or manager who flies weekly, the compact 13.3-inch size fits the smaller bag, and during an hour-long airport coffee stop ExpressCharge can charge up to 80% with a compatible battery, a suitable Dell adapter, the mode enabled and the laptop off. Less weight, and less waiting at the wall socket.
Lawyers and financial analysts
When working with confidential documents, the optional IR sensor lets you unlock the machine with a glance once Windows Hello is set up, and the privacy shutter covers the lens whenever the user decides. Convenience and access control in one.
Model highlights
The rare 13.3″ in Latitude 5000
Mainstream Latitude is usually a 14- or 15.6-inch line. The 5310 is the compact 13.3-inch exception — successor to the smaller 12.5-inch Latitude that the 53xx series absorbed.
Magnesium chassis + MIL-STD-810G
Magnesium alloy is lighter than aluminium at comparable strength — which is why the starting weight is around 1.22 kg with a 42 Wh battery, a non-touch HD display and an M.2 SSD, below the 1.48 kg starting weight of the 14-inch Dell Latitude 5410. The chassis passes MIL-STD-810G durability testing.
SO-DIMM upgrade to 64 GB DDR4
Two SO-DIMM slots take up to 64 GB DDR4-2667/3200. In the 13.3-inch class, where soldered memory is the norm, this leaves a real reserve for upgrades after purchase.
Optional 60 Wh ExpressCharge battery
A 60 Wh 4-cell battery with Dell ExpressCharge — 80% in about 60 minutes, 100% in about 2 hours with the laptop off, ExpressCharge enabled and a temperature of 16–45°C. Larger than the batteries on the entry Latitude 3000 series.
13.3″ FHD IPS up to 300 nits
An FHD IPS panel with an anti-glare finish up to 300 nits and sRGB coverage. A touch FHD option with Gorilla Glass 5 is also available on some configurations.
Optional Windows Hello + privacy shutter
A 720p camera with a physical privacy shutter is available. On some configurations it adds an IR sensor for face sign-in through Windows Hello once it is set up — no password to type at every unlock.
Comet Lake-U with vPro and Wi-Fi 6 options
Intel Core 10th Gen with options up to vPro for central IT management, Intel Wi-Fi 6 (AX201) or Wi-Fi 5 (QCA61x4A), depending on configuration, and Bluetooth 5.0 for a steadier wireless connection.
A logical pick as a refurbished laptop
A mainstream Latitude is built for a long corporate cycle with standardised parts. That positions the Dell Latitude 5310 well as a used laptop that has been refurbished — a compact Dell machine with a warranty.
Refurbished by ITR Bulgaria: what value do you get?
Buying a refurbished business-class laptop makes the strongest sense when the device has gone through a standardised internal refurbishment process and arrives with a real warranty. That is how used laptops become refurbished laptops — a practical, predictable and professional alternative to new entry-level machines, or a far more sensible purchase than new premium equivalents.
- ✓ Technical audit and cosmetic assessment of the device according to an internal standard
- ✓ Refurbishment, cleaning, quality improvement and configuration to standard for repeat business use
- ✓ Use of original software and a prepared configuration appropriate to the model
- ✓ Packaging, real warranty and ongoing support for the model from ITR Bulgaria

Additional information
Where does the Dell Latitude 5310 fit in the series? ▼
The Dell Latitude 5310 is part of the Latitude 5000 series — Dell's mainstream business line. In the Latitude hierarchy, the 5000 series sits above the 3000 (entry business) and below the 7000 (premium flagship), with the Latitude 9000 (ultra-premium) above all of them. This is the "full business features at a reasonable price" tier — the machine IT departments buy in the highest volume.
What is unusual about the Dell Latitude 5310 is its size. A mainstream Latitude traditionally lives at 14 inches (Dell Latitude 5410) and 15.6 inches (Dell Latitude 5510). The Dell Latitude 5310 is the compact 13.3-inch member — successor to the smaller 12.5-inch Latitude that the 53xx line absorbed. That is why it is rarer than its 14-inch siblings.
Within the same generation there is also a Dell Latitude 5310 2-in-1 — a convertible variant with 360-degree hinges and a touch screen, a separate build for users who want a tablet mode.
The Dell Latitude 5310 is not ideal if… ▼
- You want more screen area for spreadsheets and multi-window work — the 14-inch Dell Latitude 5410 or the 15.6-inch Dell Latitude 5510 from the same series give you more display.
- You want a premium build from the flagship tier — for a compact 13.3-inch size with premium features, look at the Dell Latitude 7310 (carbon fiber option, but with soldered memory). If you need a 1080p camera, the 7310 does not meet that either: its camera is 720p.
- You need 2-in-1 / tablet mode — the standard Dell Latitude 5310 offers touch options, but it is a clamshell without 360-degree hinges. For convertible use there is a separate build: the Dell Latitude 5310 2-in-1.
- You rely on discrete graphics for video editing or 3D — the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 covers office tasks but not heavy graphics work.
- You need a guaranteed specific configuration (a particular CPU, RAM, SSD, display, IR camera or Thunderbolt 3) — configurations vary, so it is important to check the specific unit before buying.
Choosing the right size and form factor ▼
13-inch class (Dell Latitude 5310): the compact end of the mainstream Latitude. A magnesium chassis from around 1.22 kg with a non-touch HD display, a 42 Wh battery and an M.2 SSD — suited to frequent travel and a priority on minimal bulk and weight. Trade-off: less working area on screen.
14-inch class (Dell Latitude 5410): the balanced size for most office users. An aluminium chassis, from around 1.48 kg depending on configuration, more screen area and wider availability on the refurbished market.
15.6-inch class (Dell Latitude 5510): the most screen for spreadsheet and multi-window work. Better suited to work mostly at a desk or infrequent carrying.
Form factor: the Dell Latitude 5310 is a clamshell laptop (not a convertible). Touch is offered on it too. If you need 360-degree hinges or a tablet mode, the Dell Latitude 5310 2-in-1 is a separate build for that scenario.
Alternative models ▼
Within Dell:
Dell Latitude 5410 — the 14-inch mainstream sibling from the same series. An aluminium chassis, from around 1.48 kg, more screen and much wider availability on the refurbished market. The more logical pick if compactness is not the priority.
Dell Latitude 7310 — the premium 13.3-inch from the Dell Latitude 7000. A higher-tier build (carbon fiber option) and a richer set of premium features, but with soldered DDR4-2666 memory — without the SO-DIMM upgrade of the Dell Latitude 5310.
Dell Latitude 5320 — the next generation (Intel 11th, Tiger Lake). A newer platform with Iris Xe graphics and Thunderbolt 4, usually at a higher price as a refurbished laptop.
Cross-brand alternative (13.3″, mainstream business class):
Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 1 (Intel) — a direct competitor in the same 13.3-inch mainstream class. The classic Lenovo ThinkPad keyboard with TrackPoint, weight around 1.38 kg. A logical alternative if you value the Lenovo ThinkPad typing feel; the Dell Latitude 5310 wins on lower weight and the SO-DIMM upgrade.
Note: do not compare the Dell Latitude 5310 with the Dell Latitude 3000 series — that is a lower entry business class with a different target group.
Refurbished by ITR Bulgaria: what value do you get? ▼
The Dell Latitude 5310 is a model where refurbishment by ITR Bulgaria has clear logic. A mainstream Latitude is built for a long corporate life cycle — parts are standardised, documentation is available, and serviceability (including the SO-DIMM slots and the replaceable M.2 SSD) allows professional refurbishment with a clear result.
After the process, the used laptop is prepared for repeat business use: technical audit, cleaning, configuration, original software and packaging with a real warranty. For companies equipping their staff, that is the difference between an unchecked used laptop and a refurbished business laptop with real support from ITR Bulgaria.
Frequently asked questions ▼
Is the Dell Latitude 5310 a good choice as a used laptop?
Yes, if the compact size is a priority. The Dell Latitude 5310 is a mainstream Latitude — built for corporate use with a long life cycle, which makes it well suited to refurbishment. As a refurbished laptop it gives you a compact 13.3-inch Dell machine with a magnesium chassis and a real warranty at a more reasonable price than a new equivalent. Because the model is rarer, availability is more limited than for the 14-inch Latitude.
What is the difference between the Dell Latitude 5310 and Dell Latitude 5410?
Mainly the size and material. The Dell Latitude 5310 is 13.3 inches with a magnesium chassis from around 1.22 kg — more compact and lighter.
