Dell Latitude E7470 — 14" Full HD Business Laptop
A 14-inch business laptop with a dual-core Intel Core i5-6300U, 8GB of memory and a 256GB SSD, running Windows 10 Pro. Supplied with a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
-
14" Full HD display — 1920 x 1080 rather than the 1366 x 768 panel common at this level, so documents and spreadsheets show far more at once.
-
256GB solid-state storage — boots in seconds and launches applications immediately — the change that most affects how quick a machine of this age feels.
-
vPro-capable Core i5 — the i5-6300U supports Intel vPro remote management, which is why these were specified for corporate fleets.
-
Backlit keyboard — full travel and stable with backlighting — the Latitude keyboard is the range's strongest feature.
-
Magnesium alloy build — Dell commercial construction with a spill-resistant keyboard, built for years of daily use.
-
Expandable — accessible memory slots and an M.2 drive bay under the base panel, so both can be increased.
Performance in Use
The Core i5-6300U is a dual-core, four-thread processor at up to 3.0GHz with vPro support. It handles Microsoft 365, browsing, email and video calls comfortably, though it will show its limits under heavy parallel workloads.
The 256GB SSD is what keeps it feeling current — boot, wake and application launch happen without the pauses that define an older mechanical-drive machine. Combined with the Full HD screen, this is a machine that does ordinary office work genuinely well.
Because the i5-6300U is 6th generation it is not supported for Windows 11, and Windows 10 security updates have now ended. That makes it best suited to internally-managed, offline or single-purpose roles — a study or home machine, a site or workshop unit, or a low-cost fleet behind a managed network.

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.
Why Windows 10 rather than Windows 11?
The Intel Core i5-6300U 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 E7470 has accessible memory slots and an M.2 drive bay under the base panel, so both can be increased.
Is the screen Full HD?
Yes — this configuration has a 14 inch 1920 x 1080 panel, not the lower-resolution 1366 x 768 option also sold in this range.
What is it genuinely good for?
Office work, browsing, email and video calls, especially as a second machine or in a single-purpose role. It is not a machine for heavy multitasking or creative work.
Is the operating system genuine?
Yes. Windows 10 Pro is installed and activated against the licence embedded in the unit.
