To determine how accurate the panel is in terms of color reproduction, we use a colorimeter and the CalMan software. Like everything from Bargain Hardware, this ex-enterprise laptop - and all of its components - have undergone our intensive refurbishment and testing processes, so only the highest quality parts make it into your machine. Other notebooks in our test group showed even more stamina, however, led by the Carbon's remarkable 16 hours. The Latitude's overall heat signature doesn't bode well for the top-of-the-line version with 35 W CPU and dedicated graphics card, which is likely going to run much hotter. Ideal for small and growing businesses, the 14 inch laptop is wireless enabled so you are not tied down to a cabled network connection with the primary battery capable of handling a full working day of use.

The Latitude's pointing stick provided very accurate navigation around the desktop, without forcing me to lift my fingers off the home row. Idle temps are quite low with no area of the notebook exceeding 27 C at an ambient temperature of 20 C.

To this day, laptops appeal to me - much to the chagrin of my wife, who doesn’t seem understand why we need 5-10 of them at any given time ;-). TPM comes standard, but you'll need to look for vPro when selecting a configuration, as it's included only on units featuring an Intel Core i5-7300U, Core i5-7440HQ or Core i7-7600U processor. After streaming 15 minutes of HD video, the underside of the laptop measured 98 degrees Fahrenheit, which is slightly higher than our 95-degree comfort threshold. Ports: 1 Express Card 34mm, 3x USB 3 Ports / ESATA, 1 VGA, 1 Mini HDMI, 1 Kensington Lock, 1 eSata, Audio Connections: 3. This Dell Latitude 5480 will be fully assembled, then tested before being securely packaged and shipped directly to you.

Nonetheless, the overall design philosophy seems to have remained the same: matte surfaces, rounded corners and no real visual accents except for the Dell logo and name and the gunmetal-colored hinges. We should mention here that according to the spec sheet, Dell actually offers three different batteries ranging from 42 Wh to 68 Wh. Dell offers both HD (1366 x 768 pixels) and Full-HD screens in their configuration tool, but only the Full-HD display is available with touchscreen functionality.This ensures the reliability and consistent quality of our products before it gets the approved selection approval stamp.
