Dell Latitude 14 5440 review – surprisingly good
Verdict
The Dell Latitude 14 5440 is a nice surprise in its class. Curiously, the cooling of the laptop is very good and the optional Core i7-1355U can show even higher clocks compared to the more expensive Latitude 14 7440 that we have tested with the same CPU. In short and medium loads, you can enjoy around 4.0 GHz P-core clock which is a nice achievement for such a device. In addition, the fan isn’t as noisy as a jet fighter and the keyboard doesn’t feel too toasty to the touch when the CPU is pushed to its limits.
The input devices are comfortable and there is no flex during typing – great! The 16:9 IPS display (BOE XYC05-NV14N4N (BOE0AFC) isn’t a top-tier unit but it gets the job done for normal work with its wide viewing angles and lack of PWM usage. Keep in mind that the sRGB coverage and the maximum brightness are low.
The battery life with the optional 54Wh model is more than enough for a whole working day away from the charger – around 14 hours of Web browsing is a respectable result. The rest also look good – the I/O is modern and you can get the devices with optional features such as eSIM, SmartCard reader, and IR Web camera. The upgradability is okay – the two SODIMMs fit up to 64GB RAM in dual-channel mode. If you want DDR5 memory, you have to pick a notebook with a P-series CPU. The others rely on DDR4 modules. The only con here is the single M.2 slot that is compatible with the shorter 2230 Gen 4 SSDs. Oh, yes, and the NVMe gets hot if you decide to torture it with long sequential read/write loads.
Overall, the Dell Latitude 14 5440 is a solid light 14-icher that has capable cooling, a PWM-free display, and long battery life.

Dell’s battery life is so horrible. I will be very happy if it lasted 2 hours. We have several Latitudes and Precision laptops.
Très mauvais produit.
Au bout de 6 mois touche E du clavier illisible car peinture partie. Pas pris en charge par la garantie!
