Dell Latitude 14 5440 review – surprisingly good
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. Of course, there are some cuts here and there like the 16:9 display and the chassis doesn’t feel that premium to the touch. This reminds us that you get a choice of three 1080p panel models. All are IPS units and one of them is touchscreen.
We are happy to see an up-to-date I/O with two USB4 40 Gbps ports alongside Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3. The upgradability is decent but more on that later. The laptop is offered with a choice of two battery capacities and if money isn’t a problem, you can order it with a plethora of optional features such as an NFC sensor, fingerprint reader, IR camera, e-SIM (4G or 5G) functionality, and a Smart card reader. The dTPM 2.0 module and the privacy shutter are standard features for all machines.
