DELL Latitude 5480 14" i5-6200U 16GB 256GB laptop

Purpose-built mobile workstation

The Dell Latitude 5480 pairs a 14.0 inch anti-glare display with an Intel Core i5-6200U processor, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD. It ships with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and includes HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort over USB Type-C, Gigabit Ethernet and an SD 4.0 card reader. The carbon-fibre reinforced chassis weighs 3.6300 kg and measures .900 by 9.000 by 13.100 inches.

Sustained workload behaviour

Under continuous load the integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 shares system memory, so graphics-intensive tasks compete with applications for the 16 GB pool. The dual-core CPU runs at 2.30 GHz and will throttle if the cooling solution cannot dissipate heat during extended compiles or large spreadsheet calculations. Battery life is guaranteed to hold a charge, though capacity will vary with screen brightness and peripheral use.

Installation and common issues

The laptop arrives ready to use; no internal assembly is required. Memory can be expanded to 32 GB across the two DDR4 slots if future workloads demand more headroom. Missing documentation is the most frequent complaint — the product manual is not included but can be downloaded from the manufacturer website. Buyers who want more storage than 256 GB or a higher-resolution panel should consider other models.
