The Dell Inspiron 14 5406 2-in-1 arrived in 2021 as a mid-range convertible built for students and home users who wanted a touchscreen laptop that could fold flat into a tablet without paying flagship prices. Its 360-degree hinge, 11th generation Intel processor, and Iris Xe graphics made it a capable everyday machine, and that combination still holds up for browsing, office work, and light creative tasks years later. Even with a few years of use behind it, the aluminum lid, touch display, and solid build mean this Inspiron still has resale value worth collecting. Pick your processor and condition above for an instant cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit. If you have more than one Dell to move, you can also sell your Dell laptop lineup at once.

The quickest way to check is inside Windows. Press the Windows key, type "About your PC," and look at the device name, or press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and check the "System Model" line. The service tag and model name are also printed on a sticker on the underside of the laptop, near the regulatory markings.

Core i5 11th Gen configuration

  • Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor
  • Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics
  • 14-inch FHD touchscreen with 360-degree hinge

Core i7 11th Gen configuration

  • Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor

Prefer a visual check? The 5406 2-in-1 folds a full 360 degrees into tablet mode, has a glass touchscreen with visibly narrow bezels, and ships in a Mist Blue finish with a rounded, soft-touch keyboard deck. If your Dell is a rigid clamshell that does not fold past 180 degrees, it is a different Inspiron model.

Battery, build & more

The efficient 11th generation processor gives this convertible enough battery life for a normal workday of mixed use, though age and charge cycles will have worn down capacity on units several years old.

An aluminum lid pairs with a durable plastic keyboard deck, keeping the laptop light enough to comfortably hold in tablet mode.

Sold in a Mist Blue finish that distinguishes it from the plainer clamshell Inspiron models in the same lineup.

Ships with Windows and Dell's standard preload, including SupportAssist. Most units include a USB-C power adapter; the Dell Active Pen was an optional accessory, not a standard inclusion.

As a 2-in-1, the hinge sees more mechanical stress than a standard clamshell. Check that it holds position at various angles without drooping before you finalize your condition selection.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Open Settings → System → About in Windows to see the device name, or press Windows key + R and run msinfo32 for the full "System Model" entry and installed RAM. The processor tier (i5 or i7) shows up in the same window under "Processor." A physical sticker on the underside of the laptop lists the service tag as well, which Dell's support site can use to pull the original build sheet. For a general walkthrough on any Dell, see our guide to finding your Dell model number.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Inspiron 14 5400?
The Inspiron 14 5400 is the standard clamshell sibling from the same generation, and it does not fold into tablet mode or include a touchscreen. If your laptop's hinge only opens to a normal laptop angle and the screen does not respond to touch, you have the 5400, not the 5406 2-in-1. The convertible model also carries the Mist Blue finish and a glass-covered display, while the clamshell typically ships in plainer colorways.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or a locked account?
Yes. A cracked touchscreen, a battery that no longer holds a charge, or a unit that won't power on can still qualify for an offer, and the condition picker above adjusts the quote to reflect that. Before shipping, sign out of your Microsoft account, remove the device from that account online, and suspend BitLocker encryption if it was enabled. A laptop still tied to your Microsoft account, or protected by a device password we cannot access, cannot be tested and paid out.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
A working touchscreen and a hinge that holds position cleanly matter most, since both are core to how this convertible functions. Beyond that, the original USB-C charger, minimal scratching on the aluminum lid, and a battery that still holds a reasonable charge all help. The i7 configuration and any higher-capacity SSD also carry a stronger resale position than the base i5 build.
05 How do I erase it and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose "Remove everything" to wipe the drive. Before that finishes, sign out of and remove the laptop from your Microsoft account under account settings, and suspend BitLocker if it is active so the reset is not blocked. Once accepted, print the prepaid label we send, pack the laptop with its charger if you have it, and ship it in. Shipping is free and insured, and once we test the unit against your listed condition, payment goes out by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full steps are in our data erasure protocols.
