5420s have had a lot of problems. Not just the refurbished ones.
Quite a bit of problems with them shutting down randomly - absolutely no notice. Very difficult to figure out the cause. It can be everything ranging from not upgrading Bios, drivers, to problems caused by faulty RAM, to issues with Intel's new "sleep" regime. Can also be caused by Windows 11, which still has a lot of problems and compatibility issues. W11 was released without being fully developed.
For some reason, which isn't clear, the Latitude 5420 has a lot of problems. I've seen IT folks who oversee hundreds to thousands of computers say that they regularly deal with the random shutdown issues - they send them back under warranty and replace them with something else.
Others on slickdeal have mentioned that the 5XXX laptops released by Dell during the pandemic, are known for these problems.
I swear I'd not buy another one, but I bought a 5420 recently through their site and only had to replace the battery since it was trashed. The rest of the machine runs great
I bought a 7xx 2 in 1 3 years back, it was good.
In general, people comment are favord towarda 7xxx than 5xxx, i am not sure which models (i13 series or specific 5xx series). You have 15 days, if legit reason, no restock fee i think. Good price for good machine unless you get a lemon.

But lately never seen anything cheap except for 5xxx.
Also, haven't seen anything cheap for past year for 12" or 13" laptops.
Anyone know why?

You can run linux on about anything. I personally would look for something even cheaper, but there are many factors involved, so it all depends....

Dell also is having problems with some of its 54xx (maybe all 5xxx) computers with USB C connectors to charge them. The internal USB-C connection to MB seems weak, and fails after a while. Then you have a worthless computer.
eBay has many of them for sale as non-functioning, parts only. Check Dell Communities for actual owner comments.
Buying desktop units from FedEx Recycling (Dell Refurbished) is much safer and they can be fully cleaned, maintained and parts replaced later. People have had better outcomes with the Dell Latitude 7-series units from FedEx Recycling.
We lost just under $600 on our two separate Grade A unit orders. Now it's a pile of parts that I haven't yet taken to the electronics recycling depot. Parts aren't that valuable either because they're used, older, low performance, lower capacities now, and not even Dell.
YMMV - some do better than others. "Grade A" for FedEx means units that are better than the others they have. Our two separate Grade A units had worn ports, one had wallpaper plastic new skin, worn touchpads, small paint chips, etc. One failed only one month after warranty expiration. The other system board ended about 10 months after warranty expiration.

Do you have any recommendation - what DELL laptop model with i7 onboard have more stable build?
I use Latitudes e7470 at home (i7 6600u) , but time to upgrade coming
