Business on the road. Not only consumer devices follow the trend towards thinner notebooks and ultrabooks. Dell’s new Latitude E7440 proves that mobility, port variety and office qualities can also be combined in a business notebook nowadays. We review the entry-level configuration with a Core i7 processor, a 500 GB hard drive and a WXGA display.Latitude – this name represents a series of usually quite expensive professional notebooks at Dell. These notebooks helped the company to build a remarkable reputation amongst very demanding business customers. Dell not only offers the yearly refresh for the popular 14-inch class but also introduces a completely new device with the Latitude E7440 (short Latitude 14). It follows the trend of current consumer notebooks and a very thin chassis but is supposed to stand out from the competition with comprehensive security features and proven qualities. Our review unit is equipped with a Core i5 Haswell CPU, which is supported by 8 GB RAM and a 500 GB hard drive. Dell currently offers a very similar configuration with a slightly faster CPU (Core i7) The result is excellent: With a thickness of just 2.1 centimeters and a weight of 1.63 kg (including the 3-cell battery) the Latitude 14 manages top values for its class. Even the torsion resistance is okay for such a thin notebook, although it cannot quite keep up with some high-end ultrabooks. We do not want to overstate this flexibility since there are no annoying creaking noises even under heavy pressure. The connection between the base unit and the display is realized by two massive hinges with a generous maximum opening angle, which have no problem keeping the display in position. Despite its thin profile, the stability of the display is very good: Dell even uses additional carbon fiber elements for configurations with panels, while the display cover of our review unit is “only” made of aluminum. Thanks to this, both configurations have almost the same dimensions and weight..
