DELL Latitude E7440 14" i5-4200U 8GB DDR3 256GB mSATA+1TB HDD

Purpose-built business ultrabook

The Dell Latitude E7440 is a 14-inch ultrabook aimed at professionals who need a reliable Windows 10 Pro machine for daily office tasks. Its dual-core Intel Core i5-4200U processor and 8 GB of DDR3 memory handle document editing, web browsing and video calls without fuss. The 1280 x 720 LED display keeps the chassis thin and light for travel between meetings.

Sustained-load behaviour

Under continuous workloads the 4th-generation Core i5 runs between 1.6 and 1.9 GHz while the integrated Intel HD Graphics shares system memory. The operating system boots from a 256 GB mSATA solid-state drive, so application launches stay responsive even when the secondary 1 TB hard drive is busy archiving large files. Thermal throttling is managed by the ultrabook-class cooling design built for typical business duty cycles.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your existing peripherals connect via the available VGA and HDMI video outputs and standard USB ports. The 8 GB memory ships as two 4 GB DDR3 SODIMM modules, so any future upgrade must match that specification. The 2.5-inch hard-drive bay and mSATA slot are both occupied, leaving no internal room for additional storage without removing a drive. Buyers who want more storage or a touchscreen should consider other models.
