DELL Latitude E7480

DELL Latitude E7480

For a long time, the Dell Latitude product line has been trusted for its portability, security, and manageability. The Dell Latitude E7480 is part of the premium Latitude 7000 business laptop series. Notable upgrades this time include a redesigned chassis, lighter weight, improved battery life, and a high-quality keyboard. However, most importantly, the Dell Latitude E7480 is equipped with the latest hardware.

Dell Latitude E7480 Design

The chassis of the Dell Latitude E7480 continues to use a strong carbon fiber structure with nearly seamless joints. The hinge connecting the Dell Latitude E7480 to the screen is not too stiff, allowing you to open the lid with one hand. The exterior of the Dell Latitude E7480 is entirely black, catering to a professional business style. While it lacks “flashiness,” it is favored by professionals for its simplicity, even though the configuration is anything but simple. The dimensions and weight of the Dell Latitude E7480 make it a competitive product against the Lenovo Thinkpad t470s (though not highly rated by experts in this specific regard).

Display and Audio

The 14-inch Full HD display utilizes IPS technology for wide viewing angles, sharp images, high brightness, and good contrast. The screen also features anti-glare capabilities, allowing you to use it in various lighting environments, and eye-care technology for longer usage times without straining your eyes.

Dell also integrates Waves MaxxAudio Pro technology into its new Latitude line. The speakers provide quite balanced mids, slightly lacking in bass punch, but the vocals are very clear. It is clear that the Dell Latitude E7480 is aimed more toward meetings and conferences than entertainment. For music, light tracks are suitable for the Dell Latitude 7480, but for electronic music, users should probably use headphones or external speakers.

Keyboard and TouchPad

The Dell Latitude E7480 features a very reasonable keyboard and key layout with good tactile feedback. The Backlit keyboard enables better productivity in low-light environments.

The keyboard is primarily full-sized. The arrow keys and function row are half-sized, and the keys are mostly arranged like a desktop keyboard, although the Home and End keys are no longer dedicated keys and require the Fn key to use.

The TouchPad has a surface that is sufficiently smooth in both feel and size. The left and right buttons make almost no sound when pressed.

The Latitude E7480 offers excellent connectivity including: a power port, HDMI, two USB 3.0 ports, a smart card reader, and a USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 technology on the left; on the right, you will find a headphone jack, an Ethernet port, a Micro SD card reader, a third USB 3.0 port, and a Noble cable lock slot.

High Performance

Equipped with powerful hardware featuring a 7th Gen Intel Kaby Lake processor, it provides fast processing for tasks, helping to save energy and reduce heat during long periods of operation. The machine comes pre-installed with 8GB RAM, which is upgradable up to 32 GB RAM, allowing for the smoothest multitasking experience.

The 256 GB SSD can be upgraded up to 1 TB, ensuring that running programs and backing up data is performed quickly.
