Background and Identification

The Dell Latitude line of laptop computers are intended for business use, as opposed to consumer use. This means that these computers are very consistent in terms of what vendor manufactures the parts and what parts are used. Because of this, business computers are easy to maintain and support on a large scale (like a company) because they all have the same or similar components. The Dell Latitude E7240 is part of the Exx40 series of computers, which came out in 2013 and 2014. The E7240 was introduced in 2014. The 40 at the end of the model number refers to the 4th generation Intel Core processor that all of these computers use.
