Product Information

Both pointing devices work smoothly, though we prefer the touchpad and its big, crisp buttons to the slow stick. However, if you're looking for a powerful, well-made business laptop, the Latitude 5480 should be near the top of your list. The 3000 series is designed to be entry-level aimed at the education market and small businesses, This series did not exist prior to Haswell (xx40) as the Vostro Series was consolidated into the Latitude lineup to form the 3000 series. We like the durable Latitude 5480 for its lengthy battery life and speedy performance, which make it a fantastic machine for plowing through a day's work (even when it extends into the evening).

While older games like Anno 2070 or Tomb Raider work reasonably well, newer games are not going to be playable at adequate frame rates even at low resolutions and at the lowest quality settings. As we've seen during the stress test, the single system fan handles the ULV Intel processor quite easily with temperatures rarely exceeding 70 C. C series laptops were notable for their consistent and interchangeable accessories across this wide range of processors.

by 9 inches (HWD), the Latitude is a bit thicker but has a slightly smaller footprint than the HP EliteBook 1040 G3 (0. Dell's Latitude 3000, 5000, and 7000 series target modest, middling, and major budgets respectively. The Dell Latitude 5480's integrated Intel HD 620 GPU notched a score of 73,623 on the Ice Storm Unlimited graphics test.

Details are crisp, with enough resolution to indulge in some photo editing and 1080p video viewing as well as fine-tuning presentations and spreadsheet charts, though we wish the screen (rated at 220 nits) had more brightness—it was perfectly legible at its top couple of backlight settings, but we longed for a couple more. As a result, not much information about specific chipsets, graphics chip options (If there were any), or any other features can be found online for specifying details. Initially available with the interim " Yonah" Core Duo ( x86 32-bit) processors, it was later sold with the first-generation mobile " Merom" Core 2 ( x86-64 64-bit) processor once those became available from Intel in the Fall of 2006; both run on a 667MT/s bus. The screen's fine 1080p resolution allowed me to see each crooked, scraggly whisker of Wolverine's beard. The dimness only exacerbates its limited viewing angles, as the panel looks much darker from greater than 45 degrees to the left and right.

While the D8x0, D6x0, and D5x0 models were all introduced simultaneously with each generation, the D4x0 series were generally introduced a couple of months after their counterparts. As such, the notebook offers a no-frills but durable design, great performance and a compelling array of security features. After 15 minutes, the GPU only reached a maximum of 900 - 950 MHz, although the temperature had not changed significantly. The failure manifests itself by stripes or "artifacts" on the LCD and also an external screen or by the total absence of an image. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting).
