A certified refurbished Dell Latitude 5540 with a 13th Gen Intel Core i5-1350P vPro processor, 32GB of DDR5 memory, a fast 256GB NVMe SSD and a 15.6" Full HD anti-glare touchscreen, running Windows 11 Pro. Backed by a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT, with free standard AU shipping.
Key Benefits
-
12-core, 16-thread vPro performance: the Intel Core i5-1350P (up to 4.7GHz Turbo) handles heavy multitasking with ease, and Intel vPro Enterprise supports remote management and security features in managed business fleets.
-
32GB DDR5 memory: twice the 16GB this unit was originally built with at the factory, so dozens of browser tabs, large spreadsheets and video calls run side by side without slowing down.
-
15.6" Full HD touchscreen: a 1920x1080 IPS panel with an anti-glare finish lets you tap, scroll and pinch-zoom, while cutting reflections under bright office lights.
-
Fast NVMe Gen4 SSD: the 256GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe drive delivers quick boot times, fast file access and snappy application launches compared with older SATA drives.
-
Business-grade security: an IR camera for Windows Hello face sign-in, a fingerprint reader secured by Dell ControlVault 3, and a physical camera shutter for privacy.
-
Modern connectivity: Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 with Bluetooth 5.4, Thunderbolt support, and USB Type-C charging via a 65W USB-C adapter.
Performance in Use
For everyday office work, the Latitude 5540 is well over-specified in the best possible way. The Intel Core i5-1350P is a 13th Gen P-series chip with 12 cores and 16 threads, built on Intel's hybrid design that mixes performance cores with efficient cores. Background tasks like cloud sync, antivirus scans and Teams notifications can be handled by the efficient cores, leaving the performance cores free for whatever you are actively working on. Paired with 32GB of DDR5 memory, you can keep Outlook, a stack of Excel workbooks, a CRM or accounting package in the browser and a video call open at once, and switch between them without the stutter you get on machines with 8GB or 16GB. Turbo speeds of up to 4.7GHz mean short bursts of heavy work, such as opening a large PDF, recalculating a big workbook or exporting a report, finish quickly.
The 15.6" Full HD touchscreen makes the 5540 a comfortable screen to work on all day. The larger panel gives spreadsheets, dashboards and side-by-side documents room to breathe, and the backlit keyboard includes a full numeric keypad, which accountants, bookkeepers, sales staff and data-entry teams will appreciate. The touch layer is handy for scrolling long documents, signing PDFs with a fingertip, annotating in OneNote, or tapping through a presentation while standing beside a client. The anti-glare coating keeps the display readable under strong overhead lighting or near a window, and the backlighting keeps the keys visible in a dim meeting room or on an early-morning train.
For hybrid and remote workers, the Full HD IR camera with temporal noise reduction produces a cleaner, sharper video image on Teams, Zoom and Google Meet, and the built-in microphone lets you join a meeting straight away without hunting for a headset. Windows Hello face recognition and the fingerprint reader get you signed in within seconds, and the physical camera shutter gives peace of mind when the camera is not in use. Intel Wi-Fi 6E connects to the less congested 6GHz band on compatible routers for faster, steadier wireless in busy offices and apartment buildings, while Bluetooth 5.4 pairs headsets, mice and keyboards reliably.
For IT teams and business owners, this is a machine that fits neatly into an existing fleet. Windows 11 Pro brings BitLocker drive encryption, Group Policy, Remote Desktop hosting and domain or Microsoft Entra ID join, while Intel vPro Enterprise adds hardware-level manageability and security features. USB-C charging and Thunderbolt support make it easy to connect to modern docks, so a single cable at the desk can handle power, displays and peripherals, depending on the dock you use. The 256GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD keeps the whole system feeling responsive: Windows starts quickly, large files open without a wait, and updates install faster than on older hard drives or SATA SSDs. For users who keep most of their documents in OneDrive, SharePoint or Google Drive, 256GB comfortably covers Windows, Microsoft 365 and everyday business applications, with room left over for local working files.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the screen a touchscreen?
Yes. This Latitude 5540 has a 15.6" Full HD (1920x1080) IPS touchscreen with an anti-glare finish, so you can tap, swipe and zoom as well as use the keyboard and touchpad. It is a traditional clamshell laptop rather than a fold-back 2-in-1.
Does it come with Windows 11 Pro?
Yes. It runs Windows 11 Pro, which includes BitLocker drive encryption, Remote Desktop hosting, Group Policy and the ability to join a business domain or Microsoft Entra ID. It is ready to set up with your own Microsoft account or work account when it arrives.
How much RAM does it have, and is it DDR5?
It has 32GB of DDR5 SODIMM memory fitted. That is plenty for heavy multitasking, large spreadsheets, many browser tabs and video calls running at the same time, and more than most business users will need for years. It also gives you headroom for memory-hungry tools such as Power BI, large Teams meetings with screen sharing, or running several business applications alongside dozens of browser tabs without the system slowing down.
Can I use face or fingerprint sign-in?
Yes. It has an IR camera for Windows Hello face recognition and a fingerprint reader secured by Dell ControlVault 3. The camera also has a physical privacy shutter you can close when it is not in use.
Does it have 4G or a SIM card slot?
No mobile broadband card is fitted to this unit, so it connects to the internet via Wi-Fi 6E or through a wired connection using a dock or adapter. When you are out and about, you can easily tether to your phone hotspot.
Is the keyboard backlit?
Yes. It has a backlit US English keyboard with a full numeric keypad, making it easy to type in dim rooms and fast for entering figures into spreadsheets and accounting software.
How is it shipped and how long does it take?
It ships with free standard AU shipping from our Melbourne warehouse, securely packed to protect it in transit. Delivery times depend on your location, and you will receive tracking details as soon as your order has been dispatched.
