DELL NE5-32998 14.0" i5-6440HQ 8GB 256GB laptop

Refurbished 14.0" Latitude 5480 for mobile

This refurbished Dell Latitude 5480 delivers a 14.0" non-touch display at 1366 x 768 resolution. An Intel Core i5-6440HQ quad-core processor with 6 MB L3 cache and 8 GB of system memory handles everyday office workloads. The 256 GB SSD stores the Windows 10 Pro 64-bit operating system and business files. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 uses shared memory for video output.

Thermals and noise in typical office use

Under normal productivity tasks the cooling system runs quietly while the 6th Gen Intel Core processor maintains steady clocks. Shared graphics memory means the GPU does not add a separate heat source during document editing or web browsing. Power draw stays modest on the 256 GB solid-state drive and low-voltage CPU, helping battery life during a standard workday. Fan noise remains low in temperature-controlled environments.

Behaviour under sustained multi-core load

When all four cores run at high utilisation for extended periods the thermal solution ramps fan speed to manage heat from the i5-6440HQ. Integrated graphics share the same thermal budget, so combined CPU and GPU load can raise surface temperatures faster than CPU-only tasks. Throttling may occur if the chassis cannot dissipate heat quickly enough during long renders or heavy calculations. The 8 GB memory ceiling limits parallel workloads before paging to the SSD begins.
