Co-employee. practical, enduring, reliable, and all the way down to earth. Who does no longer need the sort of colleague? Our document well-knownshows whether Dell’s new 14-inch laptop ornaments itself with these characteristics.
Dell sorts its classic commercial enterprise laptops that do not suit inside the ultrabook class (range 14 E7440) in its 3000, 5000, and 6000 collection. to complete confusion, every this sort of product lines (with a few exceptions) consists of 13, 14 and 15-inch devices.

Case
Rubber-coated surfaces at the display lid,
The chassis strongly resembles the recently tested E5540, that is a fifteen-inch sister version. Dell makes use of plastic with a amazing feel thanks to its glossy or possibly its lightly rubber-covered floor. The fiberglass-strengthened lid can really be warped, and the middle in which the brand is located can be dented. A rubber lip strains the show’s the front area, and gives the lid with a softly padded closure.
The aluminum-clad hinges make a completely sturdy influence. however, the truth is not so magnificent. although, the cover stiffens the hinges. unfortunately, the base does no longer defy warping to the volume that we had was hoping for. The chassis creaks whilst warped slightly at the edges. This isn’t because of the underside that is made of one piece, and may be completely removed for maintenance.
