Dell Latitude 5480 14" laptop i5-6300U 2.4GHz 8GB 512GB NVMe Grade B

Business laptop for mobile professionals

The Dell Latitude 5480 is a 14.0 inch Windows 10 Pro notebook built around an Intel Core i5-6300U dual-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD for fast boot and application loading. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 drives the 1366 x 768 non-touch display. Connectivity includes three USB 3.0 ports, one USB-C port with DisplayPort alt-mode, HDMI, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11 wireless and a webcam.

Replaces older spinning-drive ultraportables

Moving from a mechanical hard drive to the 512GB NVMe SSD cuts boot and file-open times dramatically while reducing weight and power draw. The 6th generation Core i5 architecture delivers higher instructions-per-clock than prior dual-core mobile chips, making everyday multitasking feel snappier. The jump is worth it when your current machine struggles with slow storage or cannot drive an external monitor through USB-C or HDMI.

Sustained workload thermal profile

Under continuous load the U-series processor will throttle to stay within its low thermal envelope, so extended compiles or large spreadsheet recalculations run at lower clocks than brief bursts. The integrated GPU shares system memory and has no dedicated VRAM, limiting prolonged 3D or video-encode sessions. Fan noise rises noticeably during long heavy tasks but the chassis remains comfortable for lap use. Battery life benefits from the efficient 2.4 GHz base clock during typical office workflows.
