DELL Latitude E7450 i5-5300U X2 2.3GHz 16GB 512GB SSD 14" Black laptop

Business ultraportable for Windows 8 workflows

The Dell Latitude E7450 is a 14.0" thin-and-light laptop built for business users who need a ready-to-run Windows 8 Pro system. Its dual-core Intel Core i5-5300U processor at 2.30GHz and 16GB of memory handle office applications and multitasking. The 512GB solid-state drive provides fast boot and file access. Integrated Intel HD Graphics uses shared system memory for everyday visual tasks.

Limits of the integrated graphics and display

The 1366 x 768 Wide XGA panel is non-touch and driven by Intel HD Graphics with shared video memory, so it suits document work and video playback but not 3D rendering or colour-critical editing. Wireless connectivity uses 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0, while wired LAN tops out at 10/100Mbps. A single HDMI port and USB 3 connections cover external display and peripheral needs. Memory slots are fully populated at 16GB, preventing future upgrades.

Fixed 16GB memory ceiling decides suitability

The system supports a maximum of 16GB and ships with that amount already installed, so buyers who anticipate heavier multitasking or virtual machines cannot add more RAM later. This constraint makes the laptop a good fit for current Windows 8 Pro workloads but a poor match for anyone expecting to expand memory down the line.
