![]() ![]() The base model with a low-end Core-i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, 128 GB SSD and an HD screen is still $1425.The Dell Latitude E7240 is a 12 inch netbook which means that the Latitude E7240 has more portable dimensions and weight than the average notebook. Still, perhaps Dell could have compromised a little more somewhere else instead to bring us a longer running time.Įven though the Dell E7240 is packed full of many of the features that business users need, and it comes with a 3-year warranty, it is still an expensive machine. Like the touchpad size and port placement, this is partially due to its small size, which doesn’t leave much room for a higher capacity battery to be included. Unfortunately, the battery-life is not the greatest where compared to some of the other models here, measured to last only 5.5 hours with regular use. The Latitude does have a removable 4-cell battery and has an easily accessible interior to upgrade the SSD and RAM if need be. It would, however, have been nice if these were standard, since it seems like a lot of the better features of the E7240 (such as the 1080p screen) are expensive options not available on any of the pre-configured models shown on Dell.ca. The E7240 can be configured with an optional fingerprint reader and SmartCard reader for enhanced security. There also isn’t a trackpoint pointing stick for those who prefer that kind of mouse control on their notebooks, but at least the touchpad has physical mouse buttons. It is also a little small, but that is to be expected, given that the E7240 is one of the smallest machines here. The touchpad is not as nice though as some of the other notebooks in this list, such as the glass one found on the Dell XPS 13 (which is next). The E7250 has an excellent backlit and spill-proof keyboard, with concave stepped keys that simulate well-spaced island keys. The optional E-Port Plus dock adds DVI and VGA video-out, two more USB 3.0 ports, three USB 2.0 ports, eSATA, a serial port, and a parallel port. The Latitude has full docking station connectivity. Unfortunately, since it is a 12-inch notebook, in order to fit the all the ports, the power jack, two USB ports, the Ethernet and the HDMI are on the back side of the chassis, so depending on the space you have to use it on, this layout may cause issues. The E7240 has lots of ports – three USB 3.0, mini DisplayPort, SD card reader, full-sized HDMI and Ethernet. The standard HD (1366 x 768) screen available on most pre-configured models is a TN panel with poor viewing angles, contrast and colour reproduction. Sadly, this screen option adds a lot to the E7240’s cost. It is available with an optional gorgeous Gorilla Glass covered Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS touchscreen.
