    Dell Latitude 5440 in-depth review

    The Dell Latitude 14 5440 is a typical workhorse. It can be a snappy daily driver or office machine if you select the right CPU for your needs. Speaking of which, there are eleven (whoa!) processor variants including vPro and non-vPro 13th Gen Intel U and P-series chips. The laptop can be found with DDR4 and DDR5 memory - the newer RAM standard is reserved for the more powerful 28W P processors.A first glance, the device looks almost as good as the Dell Latitude 14 7440 and the 5440 model costs less.

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Step 1: Accessing the Internal ComponentsEnsure the Dell Latitude 14 5440 is powered off and placed on a soft, clean surface to avoid damage. Undo the 8 captive Phillips-head screws securing the bottom panel. These screws remain attached to the panel, preventing loss. Lift the bottom panel near one of the hinges to create a gap, then use a thin plastic tool to pry the panel off, starting from the sides and front, finishing with the back.Hint: Prying the back last helps to avoid damage to the clips and ports located there.Step 2: Removing the BatteryDisconnect [...]
