Additional options include mobile broadband via a Dell Wireless 5808E Gobi 5000 4G LTE module, and a dedicated u-blox NEO-M8 GPS module. Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 802.11ac with Bluetooth 4.2 is an option. Dell covers that with a Dell Wireless 1802 802.11AGN module that also includes Bluetooth 4.0. State-of-the-art wireless communication is crucial in a mobile computing device, be that in the office or out there on the road or in the field. These covers are not meant to be waterproof, but they securely snap into place, and can easily be replaced should they ever break or wear out. There are I/O compartments on the left and right side as well, and each has a protective cover.

There is a memory card reader and an Expresscard/54 or PC Card slot as well.

There are three USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0 port, a native RS232 serial port, a gigabit RJ45 LAN jack, audio in/out, VGA and HDMI video, and a docking connector (that's optional since not everyone needs it), all with protective covers. Like the competition in this class, the Latitude 14 Rugged offers excellent connectivity and expandability. Dell's screen technology reduces internal reflectivity and display glare for good viewing performance outdoors and in the sun. Note that Dell is one of the pioneers in modern-era outdoor-viewable displays, and the Rugged 14 benefits from that expertise.

The full HD display is very bright (1000 nits) and suitable for outdoor use, and there's also a glove-capable touchscreen option available for it. Dell also offers an optional discrete AMD Radeon R7 M360 graphics card for applications where more speed and power is needed than the integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 can provide. 14-inch displays offer a good chunk of screen real estate, but without being too big and bulky.ДЄ higher resolution 1920 x 1080 full HD option is available for applications that benefit from it, such as mapping and GIS. Standard resolution is 1366 x 768 pixel, the same as the 12 and 14 Rugged Extreme models. The Latitude 14 Rugged has an 14-inch display. Also of note are the very sturdy and well integrated carry handle, the hefty corner protection, and the beefy I/O port covers and plugs. That's a good bit more than a civilian Latitude. It measures 13.7 x 9.6 inches, is 1.73 inches thick, and starts at a not inconsiderable 6.3 pounds. The Latitude 14 Rugged is a Dell laptop through and through, but one that's substantially tougher and more durable than a standard Latitude. That becomes instantly obvious when first seeing the all-black Rugged 14 with its hefty carry handle and vault-like heft and build. One point Dell emphasizes is that whereas the their older semi-rugged models were built 'up' from standard Latitude laptops, the new 14 Rugged was designed 'down' from the super-tough Rugged Extreme line.ДЄn informally given analogy by a Dell rep was that the new 14 Rugged is like a SUV built on a truck platform whereas the older ATGs were like SUVs built on car platforms. Ever since, Dell has been offering semi-rugged 'Latitude Rugged' and fully-rugged 'Latitude Rugged Extreme' models. Likewise, the Latitude 14 Rugged replaces the ATG. In early 2014, Dell replaced the XFR with the Latitude 12 Rugged Extreme convertible and the Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme laptop. The XFR models were originally made for Dell by Augmentix, which later became part of Dell. For many years Dell offered 'ATG' ('All Terrain Grade') semi-rugged and 'XFR' (Xtreme Fully Rugged') rugged notebooks.

Since Dell is primarily known for its vast lineup of consumer, business and enterprise desktops and laptops, let's first mention where the Latitude 14 Rugged fits in.
