40.2 Kadesh Dell Latitude 7440
20231019
Kadesh is a Dell Latitude 7440 with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and an Intel i7 13th gen CPU (i7-1365U) with 12 cores. It can handle heavy workloads for software development and AI, as well as the daily usage on-the-go. Decide to install Ubuntu over Windows rather than side-by-side since I want full disk encryption on the laptop for protection, using LVM encryption with a passphrase.
