In terms of product layout, Latitude 3000 series includes 13 14 and 15 inches. Today, we introduce Latitude 3440, a 14-inch notebook with Intel's fourth-generation Core i3-40 10U dual-core processor and 2GB of memory as standard. 500GB 5400 rpm mechanical hard disk, using HD4400 core graphics card, is a low-end version of Latitude 3440, and its processing capacity basically meets the needs of daily use, but 2GB of memory is indeed insufficient, so it needs to be upgraded to more than 4GB.
In appearance, Latitude 3440 combines many elements of Yue Ling 14R, a household product, and adds some curved designs. The whole machine is mainly gray and black, and its style is restrained and low-key.
In general,
Dell Latitude 3440 is simple in design, affordable, cool in body and long in battery life, and its hardware performance can meet basic office applications.
Enhance the competitiveness of Latitude series in the entry-level business field and provide more choices for small and medium-sized enterprise users.

"Simple design, low profile and detachable bottom baffle.
▲ low key
Latitude 3440 is mainly gray-black, and even the Dell logo on the top cover is painted black, which gives us a deep, calm and low-key feeling visually, and the treatment of curved corners is unexpected.
Damage can be reduced when falling, especially when Latitude 3440 has a circle of plastic material around the top cover and the edge of the top cover is reinforced.
▲ Metal wire drawing
The top cover of Latitude 3440 is mainly composed of two materials, of which the larger area makes
It is made of aluminum alloy, and its surface has transverse wiredrawing texture, but its official website information shows that,
Latitude 3440
The surface of the top cover has not been treated by anodic alumina process like the high-end series. At the edge of the screen, Latitude 3440 is surrounded by a plastic shell, which plays a reinforcing role and takes into account the transmission of wireless network signals.
▲ The bottom baffle is detachable.
Turning to the bottom of the fuselage, the Latitude 3440 chassis is made of plastic, with two speakers on both sides of the front of the fuselage and an SD card reader in the middle. At the same time, the Latitude 3440 has a detachable bezel at the front bottom.
After opening, the memory hard disk and wireless network card can be upgraded, but the mSATA interface is not provided, so we can't directly expand the mSATA interface SSD.
▲ Both sides of the fuselage
The rear of Latitude 3440 fuselage is occupied by batteries, so its interfaces are mainly concentrated on both sides of the fuselage, and the interfaces on the left side of the fuselage are relatively dense. There are VGA interface, RJ45 network interface, 2 USB3.0 interfaces, 1 headphone microphone composite interface, as well as air outlet, power socket and keyhole.
On the right side of the fuselage, latitude 3440.
Only one USB2.0 interface is provided. From the overall interface layout, it basically meets the needs of daily use, but
Latitude 3440 has no HDMI interface, which makes people feel a little puzzled.
In terms of mobile portability, Latitude 3440 is a traditional 14 inch notebook.
The length and width of the fuselage is 346×245mm, the thickness is 26 ~ 33.6 mm, the bare metal weight is 2.08kg, and the adapter weight is 2.38kg, which is more suitable for carrying in a backpack.
"There is no HDMI interface with a mirror display.
▲ 1366×768 resolution mirror display screen
The Latitude 3440 tested this time is a non-touch version, which uses a common mirror display with a resolution of 14.0 inch 1366×768. According to its official information, this model can provide an anti-glare display with a resolution of 1600×900 at most, and there are also products with touch function.
▲ A camera and microphone are provided at the top of the screen.
▲ No backlit keyboard
Latitude 3440 keyboard surface
Basically the same as the new generation 14R, except for the power-on key, there is no independent key, and the whole keyboard surface design is simple, except that its lithium battery has a bump above the keyboard. this is because
Latitude 3440 is equipped with a 65Wh high-capacity lithium battery.
▲ Keyboard details
In terms of keyboard configuration, Latitude 3440 is different from Latitude 6000 series, and its positioning is higher.
The appearance of the new chocolate keyboard introduced by Dell last year is basically the same as that of Vostro and 14R series, and the keystroke is better than that of the keyboard.

Latitude 3440
The use area of the touchpad is relatively large, and the surface has a matte texture, and fingers can slide smoothly on it. Coupled with two moderately elastic buttons, it can provide better support without a mouse.
"The hardware configuration meets the office needs, and 2GB of memory needs to be upgraded.

Latitude 3440 tested this time is the product with low positioning in this series. Equipped with Intel 4th generation Core i3-40 10U processor, equipped with 2GB memory, 500GB mechanical hard disk and HD4400 core graphics card. Hardware performance basically meets the needs of daily use, and 2GB of memory is slightly insufficient. It is recommended to upgrade to above 4GB.
◆ Processor performance test
In the aspect of processor performance test, we still choose CINEBENCH R 10, which uses the Cinema 4D special effects software engine developed for the film and television industry to test the multi-thread and single-thread processing ability of the processor by rendering a high-precision 3D scene.
▲CPU score ranking
Latitude 3440 is equipped with
4th generation Core i3-40 10U
A low-power processor has two physical cores and can support up to four threads. TDP is 15W, and the main frequency is 1.7GHz, which does not support hyper-threading technology. In CINEBENCH R 10, the score of single thread is 3280, and the score of multi-thread is 7377, so there is no problem in dealing with daily applications.
◆ Game performance test
▲3Dmark 1 1 test results
A small valley with trees in or around it.
In the standard configuration of official website, China, latitude 3440.
It is equipped with Nvidia Ge Force GT 740M discrete graphics card, but the product we tested is not equipped with a discrete display, but an HD4400 core graphics card with integrated CPU. Its graphic performance is far from that of GT740M independent display, but it has little influence on daily office applications.
◆PCMark7
PCMark7 is a new generation benchmark tool for Windows 7 operating system launched by Futuremark on 20 1 1. It consists of 7 different test links and 25 independent workloads, covering all aspects of daily applications such as storage, calculation, image and video processing, web browsing and games. The test results can reflect the overall performance of the tested model.
▲PCmark 7 points
Due to the positioning of low-end entry-level users, Latitude 3440' s hardware configuration is not high, and its PCmark score is slightly lower, but it is basically enough for daily use, and it is fully competent for PPT, browsing a web page and PS photos.
"The cool life of the fuselage surface exceeds 10 hour.
◆ Surface temperature of fuselage
▲ Temperature distribution on keyboard surface
▲ Temperature distribution at the bottom of the fuselage
Thanks to the use of low-power processors, Latitude 3440 has a low calorific value. After 30 minutes of copying test, there is no obvious overheating area on the surface of the fuselage, which is very refreshing for daily use.
◆ Battery service time
▲MobileMark 20 12 results
In terms of battery life, thanks to the use of the fourth-generation low-power processor and 65Wh large-capacity battery, Latitude 3440 runs the office mode of MobileMark 20 12 for 602 minutes with a screen brightness of 40%, which is at a very high level in mainstream notebook computers.
◆ Summary:
Dell Latitude 3440 is simple in design, affordable, cool in body and long in battery life, and its hardware performance can meet basic office applications.
Enhance the competitiveness of Latitude series in the entry-level business field and provide more choices for small and medium-sized enterprise users.
