DELL Latitude E7480

DELL Latitude E7480

For years, the Dell Latitude line has earned trust for its portability, security, and manageability. The Dell Latitude E7480 is part of the premium Latitude 7000 business laptop series. Notable upgrades this time around include a revised design, lighter weight, improved battery life, and a quality keyboard. Most importantly, however, the Dell Latitude E7480 comes equipped with refreshed hardware.

Dell Latitude E7480 Design

The chassis of the Dell Latitude E7480 still uses a strong carbon fiber structure, with seams that fit together almost flush. The hinge connecting the Dell Latitude E7480 to the display is not overly stiff, letting you open the lid with one hand. Finished entirely in black, the Dell Latitude E7480 exterior is tailored specifically to a business executive aesthetic. It skips flashy styling in favor of the understated look business professionals prefer, yet the specs under the hood are anything but basic. In size and weight, the Dell Latitude E7480 is seen as a direct rival to the Lenovo Thinkpad t470s (even if reviewers do not rate it as highly on this specific front).

Display and Audio

Featuring a 14-inch Full HD display with IPS technology, it delivers wide viewing angles, sharp images, high brightness, and solid contrast. The panel also features an anti-glare coating so you can work comfortably in varied lighting conditions, reducing eye fatigue during long sessions without straining your eyes.

Dell also built Waves MaxxAudio Pro technology into its new Latitude lineup. The speakers produce a fairly balanced midrange, though the bass range lacks punch, while vocal clarity is crisp. Clearly, the Dell Latitude E7480 is geared more toward meetings and conference calls than entertainment. For listening to music, soft tracks are a good match for the Dell Latitude 7480; for electronic music, users will likely want headphones or an external speaker.

Keyboard and Touchpad

The Dell Latitude E7480 features a well-spaced keyboard layout with satisfying key travel and tactile bounce. The backlit keyboard makes typing much easier in dim environments.

The layout is largely full-sized. The arrow keys and function row are half-height, and the core keys resemble a desktop layout, though the Home and End keys are no longer dedicated keys and require the Fn key instead.

The touchpad offers a smooth surface with just the right texture and size. The left and right physical buttons are virtually silent when clicked.
