About this deal

While not nearly as glamorous as Dell's own 13-inch and 15-inch XPS siblings, the Latitude 7480 is in some way the business-equivalent of those well-received mainstream machines. The good-looking 14-inch laptop is smaller and much lighter than before, but the build quality remains unquestionably high. The chassis is rigid with tight tolerances and features a soft, touch-friendly finish. The display is bright with accurate colors and non-glare as well, so road warriors won't have to deal with annoying reflections. The performance is top-notch - even though the CPU specific tests fall slightly short, the notebook excels when it comes to synthetic benchmarks - and the battery lasts all day even if it shouldn't be complete charged. The input devices are also very good with the keyboard in particular getting our nod as one of the best ones available on the market today. The maximum dE2000 color deviation is 2.7, which isn’t bad since values above 4.0 are usually unwanted especially when there’s color sensitive work involved. The contrast ratio is good – 1010:1.

We’ve recorded a maximum brightness of 336 cd/m2 in the center and 313 cd/m2 as average across the surface with just 11% maximum deviation. The color temperature on the screen at maximum brightness is 7200K so colors will appear a bit colder than usual – 6500K is the optimal white point. Below you can see how the measurements change at 140 cd/m2 luminance or in other words – 41% brightness. Multimedia, Budget Multimedia, Gaming, Budget Gaming, Lightweight Gaming, Business, Budget Office, Workstation, Subnotebooks, Ultrabooks, Chromebooks The maximum temperature on the upper side is 39 °C / 102 F, compared to the average of 34.2 °C / 94 F, ranging from 21.2 to 62.5 °C for the class Office. Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day.i7-7600U, HD Graphics 620, Samsung SSD PM961 1TB M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe (MZVLW1T0), IPS, 2560x1440, 14.00 Your system is shipped with some pre-installed applications and software which are designed to make The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 29.5 °C / 85 F, compared to the average of 29.5 °C / 85 F for the devices in the class Office. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light.

Overall system performance is very good according to the synthetic benchmark test PCMark 8: with scores of 5052, 4981, and 3985 in the Work, Creative, and Home subtests, the system sits either at or near the top in our comparison and outperforms the smaller Latitude 7280 with the same CPU by 2 - 8 % depending on the test. Systems with the slower Core i5-7200U CPU like theHP EliteBook 840 are 10 - 13 % slower than the review laptop. The Latitude 7480 is a high-quality and solid business laptop. Its ever-present coil whine could be a deal breaker for some, however. Excellent review. Thank you. Would like to put a question, which constitutes for me, by now, an issue: what about the keys “Home” and “End” being not dedicated ones, but force us to press 2 keys (Fn+Home) to obtain the same job as in the most keyboards? At first, we weren’t expecting any mind-blowing results but after the tests, the battery life on this thing is just phenomenal. Thanks to the big 60Wh battery and the energy-efficient ULV (ultra-low voltage) Intel Core i5-7200U CPU, the laptop reaches the second position in our battery ranking table with just a few minutes shy to our current leader – the HP Spectre x360 13.But looks don’t mean anything without a capable hardware. Well, the Latitude 14 7480 has that covered as well. The IPS panel will let you enjoy your favorite movies thanks to the excellent image quality it provides without putting unnecessary strain on your eyes – no PWM across all brightness levels. The best part is that the battery will keep the device running long enough for a full season of your show. At the time of writing of this review, the device reached second position in our battery ranking table. The display covers 96% of the sRGB color gamut making it perfect not only for work and general web browsing but for multimedia as well. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. All tests were performed with the usual settings – Wi-Fi constantly running, screen brightness set to 120 cd/m2 and Windows battery saving feature turned on. Web browsing

We started off with 100% CPU workload for about an hour and the system was able to utilize the full performance of the Core i5-7200U at 3.1 GHz running at a bit higher than expected temperatures.

This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.
