Business laptop for office tasks

The Dell Latitude E5540 is a 15.6 inch notebook built for everyday business work. It runs Windows 10 Pro 64-bit on a 4th Gen Intel Core i5-4300U processor with 8 GB of DDR3L memory. The 1 TB SATA hard drive stores documents and media locally. Integrated graphics drive the 1920 x 1080 FHD LED display.

Storage and memory limits

The 2.5 inch 1 TB hard drive uses a SATA interface and offers no solid-state speed. Only 8 GB of DDR3L RAM is installed and the platform does not support newer memory types. Buyers who want faster boot times or larger solid-state capacity cannot upgrade within this specification.

Processor base frequency decides fit

The Core i5-4300U runs at a 1.9 GHz base clock with a 2.6 GHz turbo boost. That base frequency determines whether the laptop meets the minimum CPU requirement for a given business application. Buyers who need a higher guaranteed base speed should look elsewhere.
