DELL Latitude 7480 i7-6600U 2.6GHz 8GB 256GB SSD 14 laptop

14-inch Windows 11 Pro business laptop

The Dell Latitude 7480 is a 14.0-inch laptop running Windows 11 Pro out of the box. It uses an Intel Core i7-6600U dual-core processor at 2.6 GHz with 4 MB cache. Integrated Intel HD Graphics drive the 1366 x 768 non-touch display. The system ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD. Three USB ports and one HDMI port handle peripheral connections. A webcam and audio ports are included for conferencing. The chassis is black with a non-backlit keyboard.

Soldered 8 GB DDR4 memory limit

The single specification that decides fit is the 8 GB memory ceiling. The 8 GB of DDR4 is soldered to the board and the manufacturer lists 8 GB as the maximum supported capacity, so no upgrade path exists. Buyers who need more than 8 GB of RAM for virtual machines, large datasets or heavy multitasking should choose a different platform. The 256 GB SSD can be replaced with a larger drive if storage is the only constraint.

Straightforward SSD swap only

Installation work is limited to the storage drive because the memory is not user-accessible. Removing the base cover typically requires a Torx driver and careful prying to avoid clips. The M.2 SSD slot is then exposed for a direct swap. What usually goes wrong is damaging the fragile display cable routed near the hinge or stripping the small Torx screws. No memory slots are present, so do not attempt a RAM upgrade.
