DELL Latitude E7470 i7-6600U 8GB 256GB SSD 14" QHD Touch laptop

Target user

The Dell Latitude E7470 is a 14.0 inch QHD touch laptop built for professionals who need a sharp 2560 x 1440 display in a compact 13.19 x 9.13 x .76 inch chassis. It runs Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i7 6600U dual-core processor at 2.60GHz with 8GB memory and a 256GB SSD. Integrated Intel HD Graphics, 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN, Bluetooth, a backlit keyboard and a webcam complete the package. This configuration suits mobile workers who value screen clarity and pen or finger input over discrete graphics power.

Upgrade path

Buyers replacing an older Latitude with a lower-resolution panel or a slower dual-core CPU will notice the jump to QHD touch and the 6th generation i7 immediately. The 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM handle typical office workloads and light multitasking without the bottlenecks of a hard drive or 4GB memory. If your current machine lacks a backlit keyboard, HDMI output or a built-in webcam, this unit adds all three. It is not for buyers who want more storage, a dedicated GPU, a larger screen or user-upgradeable memory beyond the soldered 8GB.

Sustained load

Under continuous load the 2.60GHz dual-core processor and integrated graphics share a thin .76 inch thermal envelope, so clock speeds will throttle during extended compiles, large spreadsheet recalculations or long video calls. The 802.11b/g/n wireless link may become the bottleneck when transferring multi-gigabyte files over a busy network. Fan noise rises noticeably but remains within office norms. The 90 day warranty covers hardware defects discovered during early heavy use.
