The Dell Inspiron 24-5400 is an all-in-one desktop computer designed for everyday use, offering a blend of functionality, user-friendly features, and integrated design. This device is suitable for a range of tasks, from productivity and communication to entertainment.
Function Description:
The Inspiron 24-5400 serves as a complete computing solution, integrating the display, processor, and other components into a single unit. It is designed to be a central hub for your digital life, enabling tasks such as web browsing, document creation, multimedia consumption, and video conferencing. The system runs on Windows 10 Home (64-bit) or Windows 10 Pro (64-bit), providing a familiar and versatile operating environment.
Usage Features:
Setup and Initial Use: Setting up the Inspiron 24-5400 is straightforward. Users begin by connecting a keyboard and mouse, followed by the power cable. Once powered on, the system guides the user through the Windows setup process, including network connection and account creation. Dell recommends connecting to a network for Windows updates during this initial setup.
Integrated Display: The computer features a Full High Definition (FHD) display with Wide Viewing Angle (WVA) technology, providing clear and vibrant visuals for various applications. The display is anti-glare, which helps reduce reflections and eye strain, and touch options are available for interactive use.
Retractable Camera Assembly: A key privacy feature is the retractable camera assembly. This camera can be extended for use during video chats, photo capture, or video recording, and then retracted when not in use to physically block the lens, ensuring privacy. Depending on the configuration, the camera may be an HD RGB camera or an FHD RGB + infrared camera, with infrared emitters for enhanced security features like Windows Hello face authentication. A camera-status light indicates when the camera is active.
Audio Capabilities: The Inspiron 24-5400 includes two integrated speakers, providing audio output for multimedia and system sounds. Digital-array microphones are also built-in, offering clear sound input for voice calls and audio recording.

HDMI Ports: An HDMI port provides video and audio output to a TV or another HDMI-enabled device, while an HDMI-in port allows connection of external video sources like gaming consoles or Blu-ray players, effectively turning the Inspiron's display into a monitor for other devices.

Power Button and Display Built-in Self Test: The power button turns the computer on, puts it to sleep, or forces a shut-down if held for 10 seconds. Its behavior can be customized in Power Options. A separate Display Built-in Self Test button allows users to test the display functionality.
