Dell Latitude 14 7440 review – stylish laptop with good cooling solution

Verdict

The Dell Latitude 14 7440 is a small laptop that performs well. The cooling solution has just one big fan and a single heat pipe, but that’s enough for a 2.63 GHz P core clock under heavy CPU usage. This is a very good result for a light 14-incher. Moreover, the fan isn’t noisy and the keyboard doesn’t feel too hot to the touch when the processor is tortured with Prime95.

The 14″ 16:10 1200p display has a ridiculously long name – LG Display TDVNC-140WU2 (LGD06F9; LP140WU2-SPM1). Aside from that, it’s PWM-free and the viewing angles are good. Still, the sRGB coverage and the color accuracy are nothing to write home about which is normal for an office device that isn’t meant for professional color-sensitive work.

The battery life impresses us – more than 14 hours of Web browsing on a single charge. Our machine has the optional 57Wh model, if you pick a notebook with the default 38Wh unit and a 28W P-series CPU, maybe the autonomous life will be shorter.

Just like many other compact laptops, the memory is soldered. You get up to 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM in dual-channel mode which should be enough for most users. Sadly, there is just one M.2 slot for shorter 2230 Gen 4 SSDs. The input devices are comfortable but the center of the keyboard flexes a bit during fast and harsh typing.

The I/O is good for this kind of form factor – two Thunderbolt 4s plus two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) connectors. The Dell Latitude 14 7440 is a light office device with a PWM-free display, modern I/O, and a capable cooling system.
