DELL Latitude 7480 laptop Core i7-6600U 2.6GHz 8GB DDR4 1TB SATA M.2 SSD 14.0" FHD

Compact business laptop

The Dell Latitude 7480 is a 14.0 inch Windows 10 Pro notebook built around a dual-core Intel Core i7-6600U processor running at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB SATA M.2 SSD. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 drives the 1920 x 1080 non-touch display, while Thunderbolt 3, HDMI and three USB 3.0 ports handle external monitors and peripherals.

Suited for mobile office work, not heavy graphics

This unit suits professionals who need a lightweight machine for document editing, web apps and video calls on the move. The 14 inch chassis, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 support hotel and office connectivity. Buyers who want discrete graphics for rendering, gaming or GPU-accelerated workloads should look at a different class of device. The 8GB memory is soldered, so future upgrades are not possible.

1TB SATA M.2 SSD defines storage performance

The single specification that decides fit is the 1TB SATA M.2 SSD. It offers solid-state reliability and capacity for large project files, but its throughput is limited to the SATA interface rather than faster PCIe lanes. If your workflow demands sequential read or write speeds beyond what SATA delivers, this drive will be the bottleneck.
