After comparing the computers above, write a paragraph discussing which computer would you buy and why?
After carefully examining each of these two computers, I would buy the Dell Latitude E7440 Touch
Ultrabook because overall, it is better compared to the Dell Latitude 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 (7350). The only
con for the E7740 was that it was expensive, but I found a solution to that. Everything else is comparable, but
the 7350 has a detachable tablet; however, comments state that the tablet can stop working at times. The
E7740 is also $452 cheaper, even though it has a better processor and better processer speed. The only
downside to the E7740 is that it only has 4GB RAM, whereas the 7350 has 8GB. The E7740 would be slower
than the 7350 at multitasking, but at one task, it would be a lot faster because of its enhanced processing
speed. The E7740 also has a larger screen of 0.7 inches, which gives a better display. The 7350s graphics
card is bad for quality but good for the battery usage, whereas the E7740s graphics card is good for quality
and decent for the battery usage. The E7740 also has three USB 3.0 ports, which are now becoming more and
more popular, but the 7350 has no ports on the tablet. They both have three year warranties, which is essential
to the safekeeping of the laptop. The only comment for the E7740 was that it was too expensive, but there is a

solution to that on Amazon. Overall, the E7740 has better performance and quality, as well as leaving me with
$1050 afterwards for other purchases, so I would buy the Dell Latitude E7740 Touch Ultrabook.
