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


Temperatures and comfort, Battery Life

Max CPU load

In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.

The Core i7-1355U inside our notebook can sustain 2.63 GHz for the P cores and 1.87 GHz for the E cores alongside a 25W power limit in prolonged periods of 100% CPU stress. This is a respectable result for a light 14-incher. Still, in medium loads, the chip temperature hits 94°C but at least it settles at 76°C in the long run.

Comfort during full load

In “Ultra Performance” mode, the fan is audible but not noisy (when the CPU is under heavy stress). For normal usage, the “Quiet” preset is the sweet spot because the fan is almost nearly silent in this mode. During max processor load, the left and the central side of the keyboard don’t feel too hot to the touch. This means you can use the laptop for work even when the internals are working hard.

Battery

Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. The 57Wh battery lasts for 14 hours and 17 minutes of Web browsing, or 11 hours and 7 minutes of video playback. That’s a respectable result considering the modest capacity. To achieve that, you have to apply the “Balanced” preset in the Windows “Power & Battery” menu and select the “Optimized” power plan in the BIOS.
