Can I connect a Dell laptop (Latitude E7440) that uses an HDMI cable to a Dell monitor that uses a VGA cable?

This question is off topic. It is about the use of an electronics product and not about electrical engineering.– NickCommented Aug 7, 2014 at 18:32

Are you thinking about building an HDMI to VGA adapter? Agreed @Nick– Enemy Of the State MachineCommented Aug 7, 2014 at 18:33

You will have better luck using the mini-DisplayPort port to adapt to VGA. The 7440 has mDP right next to HDMI on the back plane of the chassis:
Googled 'Latitude E7440 vga' and the result was ' On the other hand, you’ll need to carry a VGA adapter to connect it to the old video projector in the boardroom.'
