DELL Latitude 5480 laptop i5-7300U 16GB 1TB SSD 14" HD

Business ultraportable for mobile professionals

The Dell Latitude 5480 is a 14.0 inch laptop built for travel and client meetings. It ships new with Windows 10 Pro, an Intel Core i5-7300U dual-core processor running at 2.6 GHz, 16GB DDR4 memory and a 1TB SATA SSD. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 drives the 1366 x 768 HD display. Connectivity includes USB-C with DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, three USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11 wireless. A webcam is included for video calls.

Sustained workload behaviour

Under continuous load the dual-core Skylake CPU maintains its base 2.40 GHz frequency across both cores. The 16GB DDR4 configuration keeps multiple business applications and browser tabs resident without swapping to the 1TB SATA SSD. Integrated HD Graphics 620 handles hardware-accelerated video playback and external 1080p displays without frame drops. Thermal design prevents throttling during typical office multitasking sessions lasting several hours.

Thermals, noise and power draw

In normal office use the cooling fan runs at low speed and remains barely audible in a quiet room. Surface temperatures stay comfortable on the keyboard deck and palm rest during document editing or video conferencing. The efficient 7th generation processor and SSD storage combine to deliver extended battery runtime on a single charge. Power draw stays modest, allowing the included charger to replenish the battery quickly between meetings.
