Description
This Dell Latitude 7480 laptop is sleek, slim with a utilitarian look, checkered pattern on the lid which adds a bit of business flair, upon opening the lid, you’ll find a backlit chiclet-style keyboard and a 14inch touch screen. It helps you work confidently with a equipped all-day battery life and improvements to both web browsing and video playback time.
With its redesigned chassis, lighter weight and much-improved battery life, the upper-class Latitude once again ticks all the right check boxes when it comes to business notebooks. The 14-inch 7480 is equipped with current-generation hardware, offers great performance and features a top-notch keyboard.
Case
The chassis features a black soft-touch paint finish which not only looks very upscale, but also feels great to the touch and provides exceptional slip resistance as well. As it has been the case in the past with this type of soft-touch paint, fingerprints show up easily and are rather hard to remove. According to Dell, there’s an optional woven carbon fiber back cover for the notebook as well, but we found that option only when selecting the high-end 14-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) touch display with Corning Gorilla Glass, which adds a hefty $315.00 to the already fairly high price. The body and the lid are in our case both constructed from aluminum alloy and as a result, the base unit doesn’t flex much when pressure is applied and the torsional rigidity is very high as well, although we wouldn’t say it’s leaps and bounds better than the middle-class Latitude 5480. The display resists flexing quite well and even heavy pressure on the back does not cause any wave patterns on the display itself. According to Dell, the Latitude 7480 has undergone extensive military-grade MIL-STD 810G testing to ensures that the system can handle daily use without issues.
Connections Aplenty
Thanks to its ample chassis real estate, the Latitude 7480 offers excellent connectivity, including a power jack, an HDMI port, two USB 3.0 ports, a smart card reader, and a USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 technology on the left side of the laptop. On the right, you’ll find a headset jack, an Ethernet port, a micro SD card reader, a Noble cable lock port, and a third USB 3.0 port. Thanks to the USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port, you can attach one of Dell’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 docking stations with one cable hookup for data, multiple displays, and charging the laptop. Wireless connections are handled by integrated 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. Since it includes both USB-C and common ports like HDMI and USB 3.0, you won’t have to travel with a handful of adapters or a mini dock, as you would with the Apple MacBook Pro. Note that the thinner Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon requires a dongle for its Ethernet port, while the Latitude 7480 doesn’t.
