Rental provided by Dell Technologies, Inc. Affiliate I was able to rent a business PC Latitude 7340 from Dell, so I would like to review it. In conclusion, this is a notebook PC recommended for corporate users who are considering a lightweight business mobile notebook PC, and those who are considering a work PC. Dell Latitude 7340 specifications Latitude 7340 Monitor 13.3 type (1920 x 1200 dots) CPU Core i5 1345 UiGPUIris Xe Graphics Memory 16 GB (DDR5) SSD 512 GB (NVMe) Size (width x depth x thickness) Width approx. 299 mm x Depth approx. 212 mm x Height approx. 16.67mm wireless communication standard WIFI6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3 battery 54Whr charging type 60W AC adapter Weight approx. 0.98kg Guaranteed ProSupport Next business day on-site maintenance service Specifications Details can be found on the Latitude 7340 product page Features Latitude 7340 is available from Dell This is a business mobile notebook PC sold by. It uses Intel’s 13th generation processor and a 16:10 aspect ratio monitor to provide users with comfortable performance. The model we are introducing this time is the Ultralight, the lightest in the series. The lightest model in the Latitude series is Ultralight. The weight of the main unit is approximately 1kg, making it ideal for carrying around. Dell’s corporate model offers 24/7 telephone support, so if you are an individual user and would like to receive solid support, you may choose the corporate model. Latitude 7340 is a 1kg long-run battery, and you can choose from two battery sizes. The 38Whr battery tested on the test device has a capacity similar to that of a typical mobile notebook PC, and was able to continuously play HD quality videos stored inside the PC for over 9 hours and 30 minutes. Although it is expected that the operation time will be shorter than this when working under internet communication, the continuous operation time is relatively long. If you place a customized order when purchasing the product, you can select 57Whr. The weight of the PC will increase accordingly, but the continuous operation time will also increase. In a similar test, it performed slightly worse than the 13.5-inch HP Dragonfly G4. Since there is a difference in battery capacity, installing a higher battery will solve the problem. If you select the Japanese keyboard for the Latitude series, which is an easy-to-use keyboard with a clicky feel, it becomes a JIS layout keyboard consisting of 83 keys. Although the keycaps feel a little small, this is a reliable keyboard that allows you to type firmly. The touchpad is also equipped with a high-precision glass touchpad, so you can do a lot of work with just this one device. Price and selection method Since it is a business PC, please choose the PC that suits you. You can choose LTE and 5G modules.I think the battery and storage are at reasonable customization prices. Design The main body material is magnesium alloy. The color is blue gray. Recommended for those looking for a PC with a clean and calm impression. The size is approximately 299mm wide x 212mm deep. It’s about the same size as an A4 notebook, making it easy to put in your bag. The actual weight is approximately 1.0kg. A 60W type AC adapter is included. The weight is about 258g. You can also charge it with a 65W USB-C charger if you have one. Monitor The monitor size is 13.3 inches. It has a 16:10 aspect ratio, so it’s large enough to be easily viewed without the need for a dedicated monitor. The monitor’s color gamut had an sRGB coverage rate of 99.1%. The monitor is bright and has a wide color reproduction, making it suitable for use in content creation. Interface Left side HDMI USB-C (Thundrbolt 4) USB-C (Thundrbolt 4) Right side Audio jack USB-A Security lock I think this is a necessary interface for a mobile notebook PC for business use. If you have a hub that supports USB-C, I think it will be more expandable and easier to use. Performance Cinebench R23Cinebench R23 is a benchmark software that measures CPU performance. The higher the score, the higher the performance. Multi-core performance is 6692ptss, single core is 1480pts. Performance is normal for Intel’s 13th generation Core i5 series. Rather than improving performance, these settings focus on reducing fan rotation noise and increasing battery life. PCMark 10PCMARK 10 is a benchmark test that runs Microsoft Office compatible software, video conferencing software, image editing software, video cutting, etc. using badge files and scores how comfortable they are. The essentials are launching apps and browsing the web, the middle is Word and Excel, and the right is the score that shows the ease of creating content. The overall score is over 4000 points, which is a fair result. I don’t think there will be any problems browsing the web or using Microsoft Office. I think it’s at a level where you can comfortably edit images. PC temperature and fan operating sound I checked the CPU temperature and operating frequency using Cinebench R23’s 10 minute test. The CPU temperature is controlled so that it operates stably at around 60℃ when it rises under high load. Performance is low, but the settings are designed to not put stress on the hardware. Surface temperature The surface temperature of the PC was 32.3℃ during the benchmark test. Since the temperature of the CPU does not rise that much, the temperature of the keyboard side also does not rise. The fan rotation noise was about 41db. There are times when the sound becomes a little quieter, and this changes depending on the CPU load. Summary The advantage of the 1kg PCLatitude, which supports flexible customization, is that it does not become very expensive even if the battery capacity is increased. If you try to focus on light weight and battery with other companies’ PCs, it may become very expensive, so this is recommended for people who want a cheap, high-quality notebook PC. The disadvantages are that the key tops are a little small and the color makes fingerprints and sebum easily noticeable.
