Key Benefits
-
Premium Latitude 7000 chassis — the thin, light business range rather than the budget line — carbon fibre construction at an entry-level cost.
-
256GB solid-state storage — fast boot and immediate application launch, which is what makes a machine of this generation still feel quick.
-
vPro-capable Core i5 — the i5-7300U supports Intel vPro remote management, which is why these were standard corporate fleet issue.
-
Backlit keyboard — full travel and stable, with backlighting — the Latitude keyboard remains one of the best in business laptops.
-
Light and genuinely portable — the 7480 is among the slimmer 14-inch business machines of its generation, comfortable for daily carry.
-
Free Australian shipping — tracked delivery anywhere in Australia at no extra cost, backed by a 12-month warranty.
Performance in Use
The Core i5-7300U is a dual-core, four-thread processor with turbo to 3.5GHz and vPro support. It handles Microsoft 365, email, browsing and video calls without difficulty. It is not a machine for heavy parallel workloads, but for focused office work it remains genuinely comfortable.
The 256GB SSD does the heavy lifting on perceived speed — boot and wake are immediate, and applications open without the pause that characterises older mechanical-drive machines. 8GB of memory is adequate for standard office use.
One specification to be clear about: this configuration has the HD 1366 x 768 display rather than the Full HD panel also sold in this range. That means less on screen at once, which matters most for spreadsheets and side-by-side documents. If screen real estate is important to you, choose a Full HD configuration instead. As Windows 10 has reached end of support, this suits internally-managed or single-purpose roles.

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.
What resolution is the screen?
This configuration has the 14 inch HD 1366 x 768 panel. A Full HD 1920 x 1080 option was also sold in this range — if screen space matters to you, choose that configuration instead.
Why Windows 10 rather than Windows 11?
The Intel Core i5-7300U is not on Microsoft's supported processor list for Windows 11, so Windows 10 Pro is the correct and stable choice for this hardware. Microsoft security updates for Windows 10 have now ended, so this suits offline, single-purpose or internally-managed roles rather than general internet-facing use.
Can I upgrade the memory or storage?
Yes — the 7480 has an accessible memory slot and M.2 drive bay under the base panel.
Is this the premium Latitude range?
Yes. The 7000 series is Dell's thin-and-light business line, above the 3000 and 5000 ranges in build quality and materials.
Is the operating system genuine?
Yes. Windows 10 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.
