- Is the Dell Latitude e5440 the laptop you need? At these prices, it just might. This is a great notebook for Google docs, email, surfing, watching TH-cam etc. But not so great for Fortnite or Apex legends

This was an amazing review
lol thanks ! it was kind've last minute
Coreboot was ported to the Latitude 7240, everything works except touchpad and ACPI power stuff. Rumor has it all the 4th gen Dell Latitude & Precision laptops have the same embedded controller. Maybe pretty soon you can throw some open source firmware on that thing and extend its life even further
Q: Still worth the money in 2019?
A: Heck yes! In 90 minutes, you can run Mojave, Win10, and Linux.
Mojave? Do you need to buy a usb wifi key because internal wifi dont work?

@@blurpultube2069 Students needing to take classes online due to the pandemic. 🤷♂️
Music production... YES!
I'm thinking about buying one for music production, video editing, TH-cam lives and games, do you know if it's perfect for that?
Good review. One thing I don't like about this laptop are the keys on the keyboard. They do not elevate from the unit but are flat. To me it's similar to one of those Surface keyboards.
Is it good for strategy games like civ6 or city skylines?
hi can i ask how to open the disc slot on the side of the laptop?
this is my daily driver ive been using it for about a year now 2020 and i still have no complaints great budget pc and its possible to game on it
Liar! I own this laptop and using the discrete GPU, maximum performance settings and only my games installed, it can't run shit. It can only process single player source games at low graphic settings. If yours runs well, tell me how you got it to do so...
its so possible for gaming
@@interwebsuser9038 well my little brother uses it to play roblox at 200fps on low graphics.
and 90fps on highest
Thanks for the review, i had to look up the model number meaning after watching, the “E” stands for the Latitude family; the second number refers to the series. The third number indicates the screen size (5 for 15-inch, etc.), and the last two numbers denote the generation of the family
Are you the one that races F1? :) I am sure you wish that as well!!!
@@gerardlunow567 Nope, but I get email meant for him sometimes lol
Question would this be good with a creality 3d printer I need a laptop to do the slicing software. And download g-codes to a micro SD so I can have the print files.
it will do what needs to be done but you'd be better off with a Precision M2800 personally. they have a built in video card
Best thing about this laptop... It has an mSATA slot... It takes the mini mSATA. I installed a 240gb mSATA, along with a 240gb standard ssd... Machine boots lightning fast and so far so good.
My bluetooth not showing after clean instal on bootable,
Im try installing driver on web, but still not showing bluetooth on windows 10 pro
My laptop dell e5440
Do you recommend this laptop because I'm planning to buy one for 3D rendering on LUMION 5 application,...??
Depends on the specs you need. But this isn’t a graphic intensive machine. Have you tried the delll m4600?
I’m thankful I have 8gig and some other stuff on mine. I needed something because all the libraries are closed due to COV-19 never thought about stuff like that. So now off to get a printer and I’m good to go at home. I don’t have to be around nobody even when everything opens back up. Never again will I get caught slipping
did you find a printer?
Thinking of getting this for college and possibly video editing as well with 8GB of RAM, which isnt too bad for editing. Depending on the video, of course. Nice review though
It should run wondershare for editing. I don’t think it will run premiere pro though
I think this guy may have underestimated this machine. The one he had was an example of a low spec model. In 2014 when these machines first came out if you got one with the I7 processor, 16GB or ram, the 2GB dedicated NVIDIA graphics, 256GB samsung PM SSD (500 was not an option) the dual band 1601 wireless card with Y Gig and the 9 cell battery you would have had a respectible gaming laptop. Of course the price for such a loadout would have been close to 3K USD.
men please reply to me. the laptop good or bad ??
This is the laptop im using rn and im so happy with it.
can it run games like dota 2 smoothly?
Is it run strategy games?
My daily computer is a Ryzen 5 5600 16Gb Ram with a GTX 1660. My laptop for traveling is this Dell. I upgraded it with an SSD and I'm planning to give it 8 Gb of Ram, and that's it.
if its not that good can i just upgrade the ram to play the good games ? but mines is windows 7 and has core i7 but only 8gb of ram and i wanna know if i upgrade the ram would it be better
The ram upgrade to 16GB won’t hurt. An i7 is pretty capable. You could always switch to Linux and still run Steam to play your games.
I'm still using an old i5 E5450 with Ubuntu 20.04 16Gb & pro-SSD. It's great for development (much better than a 10th gen 8Gb i5 windoze Lenovo for example) hooked up to another monitor, the screen and trackpad are poor but great keyboard for typing, rock solid, I'd recommend strongly
Nice, how much did you get it for?
Simcard option?
how did you put windows 10
I am buying refurbished model of this laptop it is better or not to buy
I have the same type but mine has an extra little blue mouse with an extra clicking button. I have that one part your kissing on the side and it has a mail opener thing slash 2’ ruler 📏/ shows the temperature of F and C degree & some small holes that say 3.175 mm up to 12.7mm. My laptop also powers up right at the start but when I shut it down, it takes a while. Touchscreen.
Dell Latitude E5440 does support TPM 2.0 ???
If it's support then please provide me to enable it, because I want to upgrade to window 11
I'm gravitating towards this for few reasons:
Has 2 slots of ram. Dual Channel. Up to 16g. Easy to replace. Most of the new laptops cannot be upgraded & ask wayy too much even for 8g.
Hd same easy to change. Dual hd.
Replaceable battery.
Small.
Actually not that ugly or old. Looks modern.
Can I use two harddisk in this laptop? One ssd and other (sata) ??
Hi,Can I use a Dell Latitude E5440 for offline purposes?My internet went out and I could not use my laptop anymore(and or the information etc I have stored?Do you know what I can do or does it only work with internet online?
you can use it offline. but it depends on what you need to do I guess
Is this good for games? Such as minecraft, also can you photoshop/edit well on this?
It should handle minecraft and photoshop. But not video editing.
Mike Dancy thanks
I have the i7 model. Do you think it would be good for video editing 1080 video??
Not really. It might be a bit choppy. You’d really have to up the ram
2020 here and this laptop still actual. !!!
16 gb RAM, 260gb SSD - makes this device super fast , I can even play a some games on it.
Definitely RECOMMEND for purchase !!!
Hi, I'm looking to buy this laptop because of the reviews and how cheap it is. I would like to do some light gaming on it like minecraft and roblox, could you try to test those out and tell me if it's worth it? Thank you!
@@palatoy1687 Okay, give me 1-2 days , im at vacation now )
I'm interested in buying one with 8gb ram. Will it run an autocad program?
Probably not. Look for one with an integrated video card
How do you use the at button
I’m looking for something to play games on would this be a good choice for a tight budget?
Hell no. I have this laptop right now, I am getting a gaming laptop in July. This laptop can not play games, the only two games it can play are Fortnite, (20 fps), and Roblox, (lowest settings). Look at Walmart.com, they have good laptops for gaming in the 500 - 850 dollar range, personally I am still deciding if I should get the Asus Gtx 1660 with 8 gb ram, or the Evoo gtx 1650, with 16 gb ram.
Nope
Abstergo TV don’t mean it’s good for anything else. Get a laptop with at least Vega 3 graphics
just purchased the Dell Latitude E5440
off newegg for a 130 and its suppose to be refurbished so will see in a few days after i get it. its saying in the description its a 250 sdd but in the additonal info its saying it has a nvidia g force graphics card now with a i7 chip
What is battery backup
Is it worth to upgrade the RAM if you don't have the i7 model? I'm currently running 4Gb Ram and I5. I just bought 2 8Gb Ram bars of eBay.
100% ram always helps. Also look at getting a SSD unless you already have one
i found this one, Dell e5440
Core i5 4th génération
8 go in ram
500 go storage HDD
Double graphic card NVIDIA GeForce GT 720m and intel hf graphiques 4600,
i need for simple photoshop and certain simulations usage, do you think it's gonna handle it??
I didn’t know that they had dual video cards. But it should be able too.
sir I am from Pakistan.there are too much problems to buy used laptop.So,please guide me about this laptop by opening the case and the components and also guide me about its LED I mean how to check the LED is genuine or not.the tips to buy it.
hello im planning to buy this laptop for basic video editing.. what modification should i do,, the specs of what im planning to buy has 8gb ram, 128 ssd and dual graphics intel hd 4gb and nvidia gt 720m 6gb.. is it ok ?
That’s really all you need. What editing software are you using? I prefer Filmora Wondershare. It works well. Maybe get a bigger hard drive or a external drive for storing video.
recommend me for video editing laptop very chepest
buy a 2012 macbook pro then run imovie. Or a Dell precision M6800 and get Davinci Resolve
I bought one too. Did you know that this laptop also can hold a mSata ssd besides the 2.5" Sata drive? Planning on putting two ssd's in there, for dual booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux.
I had no idea. Where does the m2 go?
@@MikeDancy th-cam.com/video/fRI76L3PQeU/w-d-xo.html Not m.2, but msata.
@@MikeDancy
Some laptops have mobile broadband card/slot where you put the mSATA (same interface), not M2.
@@MikeDancy The Dell E7440 has an extra mSATA slot as well. You can select which slot to boot from in BIOS.
I bought one for $145 still in nice shape with the i7 processor. I threw an extra 8GB of ram in and swapped the 500gb for a 1TB ssd. Runs great, long battery life, solid laptop
That’s a good price
Where did you buy it at $145?
ttlcth found it on eBay
It's better for engineering students?
how do u download and open apps
on the latitude E5440
Depends which operating system you are using
Hello and happy new year greetings from Greece.Nice video thank you.I was looking for a backup machine for light programing,sys admin tasks,html css code etc.I have a good pc but i want a laptop for light tasks and take it to my yard.Do you recomend this laptop or any laptop with this cpu?I found that with 260 euros here with ssd 256g ram 8g and hd+ screen.Thank you for your time and good luck
yes, it's still a great computer. but my all time favourite is the Lenovo T450s which is the i7-5600u 2.59GHz.
@@MikeDancy Οο is a 'workhorse' laptop very solid!Very confortable keyboard.
how many ram slots are there in it? can we upgrade the ram up to 16 gb sir?
2, yes! I have one with 16 GB Ram and two 512 GB ssd's (one msata and one 2.5")
wow. that is a work horse
would it be good for running after effects and other plugins for it???
I wouldn't say that it's good. It might be a bit slow but I'm sure that it can handle it. I use the Dell e7440 sometimes and it can handle graphics quite well.
Yes. It can handle normal and average projects.
Does it have bluetooth in it
i got a dell E5440 i7-4600u, 8Gb ram , well its not a quad core alright but its a little beast on its own ,its clocking speed is spectacular for the price i got it at ,it clocks upto 3.3 ghz ,and normally during work its at 2.8 ,when tasks get heavy it goes upto 3.1,3.2ghz ,and thanks to the inbuilt GPUs i can easily change for higher performance ,i am not a gamer but i am fine with the nividia 750 and the intel 4400 for my programs, i normal do programming on it ,my IDE's works excellently ,to test the machines capability i installed GTA V and it ran just fine the fan was busy though ,I also tired a game engine (unity to be exact )and it worked i am sure it can handle 3D modelling Software , video editing ,as well like i said its not a quad core but it surpasses the 2.1 upto 2.7 ghz speed its tagged by its performance is outstanding i wsnt expecting that much from it
I just picked up the i7 e7440. That’s my next video. But the resolution is only 1366x786 for some reason
I bought mine on Ebay for $185 6 years ago. The display was cracked and replace it for $35. 16GB RAM, two 500GB SSD, WIN 10PRO, VMWare 15.x with Win 7, XP, Ubuntu 20.x. Wherever i am and whatever I do it will do it. I did buy a 7750 32GB RTX5000 and is ver nice. The 5440 is with me every day. Just love that thing.
yeah, it's a great machine. I might have a 5450 to review soon.
@@MikeDancy Funny I have one of those to do IT work with. It has all sorts of configurations for switches, routers, DAS, wifi.
Is it good for video editing?
Heloooo, Did you buy any? Could you tell me what your experience was with it?
hello sir I do have this DELL LATITUDE5440 and this laptop battery doesnt even long for half an hour straight ......and this laptop litreally heat so fast ..plesae tell me solution
sounds like you need a new battery and if it's heating up, you might want to take some compressed air to it and clean the fan out. If you have a computer store nearby, they can do a 'tuneup' and do all that for you.
can I use it for programming ?
Hell yeah
Could you show video quality?
Not anymore. I don’t have it.
The one i have:
i5 4310U
8GB RAM
240SSD + 500HDD
Nvidia GT 720M 2gb
And i literally paid $180, refubrished
Great for programming and play some old games like COD black ops and AC revelations
Bro how's how experience study/office wise as well as gaming wise GTA 5 , fighting game etc. I'm thinking of buying the same as urs but still checking. What are the draw backs
is this laptop good for autocad and skecthup?
it could probably run it but very slowly. upgrade the ram and memory before you do though.
Unboxing joy coming
intel core i5-4310U, 4GB RAM, and 320GB HDD. Is this good enough for long term use?
I’d make it 8GB and a SSD personally.
im planning of buying this but the 8gb ram version. Will it work 40-50 fps on fortnite?
a fort night is two weeks.
yeah
Managed to pick up the bigger brother of this (E5540) for £50 as a replacement for an atrocious Celeron laptop, so I shall see how well it holds up in 2020
Celeron!!! This thing will work 5 years from now.
How to open CD tray? There is no button to push it.
It might not be a real CD tray. It might just be a cover in place. Take off the bottom.
Can it do wireless wifi? Because theres a wifi plug in at the back idk if it works with wireless wifi
Wifi is wireless :) and it has wifi.
I have been using this
does it support nvidia geforce 720m?
Yes
Is this laptop suitable for graphic design
I wouldn’t think so. It depends on the program though
@@MikeDancy bro Im also considering buying this I want to use photoshop and Illustrator mostly , a little bit of gaming too but should I go for a desktop pc instead of this one bcz it'll give me better specs in same price ?
find these at yard sales or at trash pick ups and make great e-mail surfers of word processsors
I have same laptop...it's have brightness problem .. it is not decrease or increase it is in same balance... Please make VEDIO on this problem
Yeh laptop screen touch hai kya
If i can buy it for USD 246.09, is it reasonable price?
Oh, that is refurbished product.
That seems reasonable if windows is installed. Does it have a SSD?
I got this in $130, Everything is perfect performance, battery, Solid Device.
I am not liking its screen Yellowish tint. I tried changing color scheme from intel graphics. But still not much effect.
Any suggestions please.
You try hooking it up to an external display to see if it’s still yellow? If so, then it’s the video card. You can try swapping the screen if it’s not the card. They sell for about $35-$50 on eBay
Can you play steam games on Laptop
depends on the games. my kid has this machine and can run roblox and some games like that with no issues.
Hello i have the same laptop and i do play games on it like gta 4 and skyrim . I wonder if it's "healthy" for the laptop to run these games . Will it reduce the laptop's lifespan? ( sorry for bad english)
It shouldn’t hurt the laptop at all. Have fun and enjoy the games. Maybe look at putting in a SSD drive for faster gameplay though
@@MikeDancy thank you❤
is this laptop good for video editing like vegas and premiere pro?
It could do it. But not well. It might be a bit stuttery. It doesn’t really have a GPU
Does it work for light gaming and drawing?? And is it worth 230 us dollars now?
That seems kind’ve pricey to me. Depends on the specs I guess. And if light gaming is candy crush then sure.
@@MikeDancy so it's not worth it 😂
I'm buying one tomorrow for 250Euro with 16gb and 256Gb. Thumbs for the review!
Hello Lord Doom, where did you buy it? Is it in France? I found one but it costs 319 euros for 8Gb.
@@nady158 Hey, I bought this on my local facebook marketplace for Malta. THe guy selling them had quite a few of them. He recycled the machines from the company he was working for, of course they came without storage, so he got hold of some 2nd hand el cheapo samsung ssds and voila, sale is made. Excellent quality too - 0 scratches and things like that. Machine works really great. i'm using it for Ableton mostly.
Games need 8gb ram with 2.6 ghz turbo speed processor...thats what you need
what is the price of core i7 4th gen 8gb ram 500 hard 2gb nivdia
A Dell 5440? I didn’t know the video card had 2GB. I’d probably not spend more than $300 USD to buy one.
I've gone through a few of those pretty, thin notebooks. I've given up. You can't fix them. If you can open them without destroying them, there are no parts available. I lost one because the power switch went and another because the ribbon cable for the fan somehow got damaged inside the case. Both should have been easy, cheap fixes. From now on, i'm buying off-lease business class notebooks. They can be fixed and if you can't order the parts, there are lots on ebay. They usually have great keyboards and get BIOS/driver updates a lot longer. If you find a good authorized refurbisher they come clean, look fairly new and have up to 3 year warranty. That's better than a lot of new stuff. My 2009 Toshiba is still going and I'm using it again until I find something else. Add an SSD and some memory to a lot of that old stuff and it's good to go for another few years.
I prefer Lenovo T series myself. Great machines
Been looking at stuff all day and I actually settled on a T440s. I can get one with 4gb on board and a small ssd for a good price. I’ve got the 8 gb stick of DDR3L and a 500 gb ssd from the one I’m junking. At least it’s not a total loss. I nearly passed on it because it was an ultrabook and I want something that isn’t going to fall apart. It’s actually the higher end model. Notebookcheck liked it so I think I’m getting it next week.
Does it come with word and PowerPoint
haha.. nope. that's something that you have to buy or get a outlook.com email address for
Slap in an SSD, and install LMDE 6 on it, and you will have a good machine.
Dell e5450
I7 5th gen,
128ssd
8gb ram
Is this good for video editing?
Or do you recommend thinkpad t450s
I7 5th gen
12gb ram
512 gb ssd
I have the T450s. It struggles. Buy a MacBook Pro
If you’re running DaVinci resolve then look up the Dell precision m6600 or m6700
I will buy this for 100 euros . Need it for recording music !
I don’t have it anymore
Keywords is backlit ?
I think it depends on the configuration you get.
will this be good for video editing
Depends on the software you want to use. But not really.
It's enough for 1080 simple projects. Nothing more, You Will ve waiting a Lot of tome if You need complex things
8gig ram recomended for a little bit more of power
My e5440 have an GT 720m graphic card
Do you recommend this laptop because I'm planning to buy one?
Depends what you want to use it for. I would pay more than $150-$180 for it
@@MikeDancy personally, I want it for work and sometimes for gaming but not high graphics games just the casual ones like assassin's creed.
it might run it, but i would shop around for a Dell m4600 and then change the hard drive out to a SSD to bump up the performance
What if we add 4GB in it
with 8GB of ram, it would be a good machine. I personally like them.
I have same model but
i7- 4600U
8GB of Ram DDR3
240GB SSD
NVdia GT 720M 2GB
Paid 330$ ? bad price ? well after 8 month of use I can sell it for 340$ now people tend to really love this machine here.
Bro how's how experience study/office wise as well as gaming wise GTA 5 , fighting game etc. I'm thinking of buying the same as urs but still checking. Are there some drawbacks
@@mharrtj6350 I wouldn't recommend it for Gaming the GPU is quite an old piece, never played GTA V with it but I did some other games like Honkai Impact 3 PC version (60FPS) it only went down when there was a lot of mixed up stuff together like fighting flares and stuff like that, but for office its quite a great guy, but there is a draw back the fan noice is quite noticeable and from the left side there is a ton of hot air coming out which might be an issue this happenes when I use it on Balanced mode and Full Performance mode.
I hope I cleared up something for you been using it for 10 month now, and I really love it.
@@kiriyamarei7358 thanks for your time bro, bless you!
How much battery last?
i bought it for 180 euro good price?
Why no one talk about the battery in this reviews? This notebooks have almost 10 years the minimum the review can say is how much the battery last after so much use
Because every battery is different. They have cycle counts which dictates how long they will last.
Looks like a cousin to my E6420 and E6400.
Kind‘ve. The 6 is a step up from the 5. It’s a bit thicker then I’d like. I really like the 7270
I just made a e6420 review
Can we update ram upto 16gb for Dell e5440
Yes. It can handle 16GB (2x8gb), not sure if a single 16GB sim would be readable though
