Dell Latitude 5480 14-Inch Laptop - (Black) (Intel Core i5-7200U 2.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro) (Renewed)

Product Information

The two-stage backlight works well and the keys produce - except maybe for the spacebar - a muffled sound suitable even for very quiet environments. We wouldn't wish a 1,366-by-768 screen on any business laptop user nowadays, but the freedom to choose anything from a Core i3 to our test unit's beefy Core i7-7820HQ? The Dell Latitude 5480 is equipped with an Intel Core i5-7300U processor, 8GB Memory and 240GB Storage and has a 14inch screen ensuring it is more than capable of reliably handling your daily work, study, or casual computing needs.

One of the main differences - and also a big step backwards in our opinion - is the new display panel.Most of our laptops are used/refurbished and the condition of these laptops can vary substantially when we receive them. The maximum observed noise floor was 47 dB, although this requires unrealistic loads unlikely to occur during normal use. There are no security badges or remnants of security badges on the outer casing, keyboard or screen surround. Our test laptop included a FIPS 140-2-certified TPM chip for secured storage, as well as Intel's remote management vPro technology.

Details are crisp, with enough resolution to indulge in some photo editing and 1080p video viewing as well as fine-tuning presentations and spreadsheet charts, though we wish the screen (rated at 220 nits) had more brightness—it was perfectly legible at its top couple of backlight settings, but we longed for a couple more. Dell's business-oriented 14-inch Latitude 5480 is a rather unassuming notebook with a host of security features and configuration options.Notebooks with older previous-generation CPUs like the Acer TravelMate P648 with Core i7-6500U are 8 - 23 % slower. This defines the service level standards you can expect in terms of the quality of the products we supply and the support service level standards we guarantee. The screen's fine 1080p resolution allowed me to see each crooked, scraggly whisker of Wolverine's beard. The Latitude 5480's durability features come standard, but you pay a little more for some of its added security features. The "Mainstream" Latitude 5000-series sits between the less expensive "Essential" 3000-line on one side and the "Premium" 7000-series on the other.
