DELL Latitude E7470 laptop 14" HD+ i5-6300U 8GB 128GB SSD

Compact business laptop

The Dell Latitude E7470 is a 14.0 inch HD+ notebook built around a dual-core Intel Core i5-6300U running at 2.40 GHz with a 3.00 GHz turbo. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a new 128GB 2.5 inch SATA SSD. The 1600 x 900 non-touch display and integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 suit office workflows and mobile professionals who need a lightweight Windows-ready platform without a pre-installed operating system.

Build integration

The chassis provides two memory slots supporting up to 16 GB total, allowing a straightforward RAM upgrade when workloads grow. The 2.5 inch SATA drive bay accepts a larger SSD or hard drive if 128GB proves tight, while the integrated graphics and HD+ panel keep power draw modest for extended battery runtime. Buyers who need discrete graphics, a touchscreen or a second drive bay will need a different chassis.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous multi-threaded work the dual-core processor holds its 3.00 GHz turbo within the thermal envelope of the ultrabook design. The integrated HD 520 graphics share system memory, so heavy visual tasks benefit from the maximum 16 GB RAM configuration. The fan profile remains audible but controlled during long compile or video-export sessions, and the SSD maintains consistent throughput without thermal throttling.
