Dell Latitude 3340 13.3" 2024, Core i5-1335U, 16GB, 256GB SSD, Titan Gray

A compact 2-in-1 that handles office work fine but chokes on storage and graphics. Buy it only if you find it cheap and your needs are basic.

The Core i5-1335U with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM handles everyday multitasking without breaking a sweat. We were surprised by how snappy it feels for a machine with integrated Iris Xe graphics, though that's mostly because the 10-core CPU does the heavy lifting. The 256GB SSD is the real bottleneck here, it fills up fast if you're storing anything beyond documents and a few apps.

Against the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro, the Latitude 3340 feels dated, the Samsung has a better screen and more modern design. The MSI Prestige is a closer match but offers more storage for similar money. The MacBook Pro M5 and gaming laptops like the ASUS ROG Zephyrus are in a completely different league, both in performance and price. For pure office work, the Latitude holds its own, but it's not the best value in this group.

Pricing is all over the place, from USD 710 to USD 850 depending on the vendor. At the low end it's a reasonable deal for a business-focused 2-in-1. At the high end you're paying too much for what you get. If you can snag it near USD 710, it's worth considering. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

The Dell Latitude 3340 is a compact 2-in-1 that nails the basics for office work and light student use. It's not going to blow anyone away with speed or storage, but the 13.3-inch touchscreen and convertible hinge make it genuinely handy for note-taking and cramped desks. The one thing to know: this is a workhorse for spreadsheets and web browsing, not a machine for anything graphically demanding.

If you're looking for a laptop that can handle photo editing, video work, or any kind of gaming, this isn't it. Go get a Lenovo Legion 5i or an ASUS ROG Zephyrus instead. If you just need more storage, the MSI Prestige gives you more room for similar money.

The Dell Latitude 3340 is a solid choice if you need a compact Windows 2-in-1 for basic productivity and you can find it at the lower end of its price range. The 16GB RAM and touchscreen are the highlights. But the tiny SSD and weak graphics mean it's not a machine you'll grow into. If you need more storage or any kind of graphical capability, spend your money elsewhere.
