So , the company I work for has assigned me a laptop. The Dell Latitude E7440 which I am reviewing now. One of the requisites for me is that the device is fully compatible with any Linux OS , and this one is. I have loaded it with Fedora 21 and so far it has served me well . Although there are a few issues that have more to do with the laptop itself then the linux distro of choice.<\/p>\n
One of the things that sort of disappointed me initially was the keyboard , it bends down when you press the keys in the middle (near the g and h keys) and the whole feel to it is not very nice overall . However the whole laptop is nice, the cpu is more than capable (I7 vpro) capable of good performance even when running a few vms\u00a0 (which I do ) the model I got has 8GB of ram and a 128G Samsung PM851 SSD , fast and energy efficient as expected.<\/p>\n
The camera is very good and the laptop is a very good buy apart from the keyboard issue I have already mentioned.<\/p>\n
The Intel\u00ae Integrated HD Graphics 4400 works perfectly with Linux and the current version of Gnome (3.14.4) runs very well indeed.<\/p>\n
I am still benchmarking the battery life , as I tend to use the device more attached to the docking station (did I mention it has a docking station)\u00a0 .<\/p>\n
More on this matter soon.<\/p>\n
To wrap up , the device is a good buy if you are looking for a good Linux laptop, however the keyboard is not very good and Dell should improve this design failure.<\/p>\n
