Dell Latitude 3540 — 15.6" Business Laptop
A 15.6-inch business laptop with a 10-core 13th-generation Intel Core i5-1335U, 8GB of memory and a 256GB NVMe SSD, running Windows 11 Pro. Supplied with a 12-month Reboot IT warranty and free Australian shipping.
Key Benefits
-
13th Generation processor — the i5-1335U is among the newest silicon in the refurbished market — 10 cores and 12 threads to 4.6GHz, with years of useful life ahead of it.
-
Wi-Fi 6E wireless — the Intel AX211 adds the 6GHz band, which means noticeably better performance in congested offices and apartment buildings than Wi-Fi 5 machines.
-
15.6" Full HD IPS display — an IPS panel with wide viewing angles and an anti-glare finish — easier on the eyes across a full working day than the TN panels common at this size.
-
Backlit keyboard with numeric keypad — full-size layout with a number pad and backlighting, suited to spreadsheet and data-entry work in any lighting.
-
Genuine Windows 11 Pro — activated and ready, with BitLocker, domain join and Group Policy available for managed environments.
-
Free Australian shipping — tracked delivery anywhere in Australia at no extra cost, backed by a 12-month warranty.
Performance in Use
The Core i5-1335U is a 13th-generation hybrid processor with two performance cores and eight efficient cores. For everyday business work it is comfortably quick: Microsoft 365, a large browser session, a Teams call and a line-of-business application run together without the machine feeling stretched.
The 256GB NVMe SSD keeps boot and application launch effectively instant. 8GB of memory is sufficient for standard office workloads, and it is worth knowing this machine ships single-channel — a second memory module both doubles capacity and unlocks Intel Iris Xe graphics, which is a meaningful and inexpensive upgrade if you want more from it later.
This is a practical desk-first laptop for administration, reception, accounts and general office work, with enough portability for occasional travel. The 15.6-inch screen and number pad suit spreadsheet work in particular. For video editing, CAD or gaming, a machine with dedicated graphics is the right choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the battery replaced?
Batteries are tested, not automatically replaced. Grade A units hold 70% or more of original design capacity and Grade B units 50–70%. Every battery carries a 30-day warranty.
Can I upgrade the memory?
Yes, and it is the upgrade worth making. The machine ships with a single 8GB module, so adding a second module both increases capacity and enables dual-channel mode, which activates Intel Iris Xe graphics.
Why does it show UHD Graphics rather than Iris Xe?
Intel only permits the Iris Xe designation when the system runs dual-channel memory. With one module fitted the same silicon reports as UHD Graphics — adding a second module changes it.
Can I upgrade the SSD?
Yes. The 256GB M.2 2230 NVMe drive is accessible under the base panel.
Does it have a fingerprint reader?
No — this configuration ships with a palmrest without a fingerprint reader.
Is Windows genuine?
Yes. Windows 11 Pro is installed and activated against the licence embedded in the unit.
What are the delivery options?
Free standard AU shipping with tracking is included.
