![]() ![]() We’ve recorded a maximum brightness of 336 cd/m2 in the center and 313 cd/m2 as average across the surface with just 11% maximum deviation. The IPS screen offers excellent viewing angles. It can be considered as “Retina” when viewed from a distance equal or greater than 56 cm. This means that the pixel density is 157 ppi while the pixel pitch is 0.161 x 0.161 mm. The panel used for this unit is a Full HD (1920×1080) IPS manufactured by LG with model number LGD0557 (LP140WF7) with 14-inch diagonal. Still, the gliding surface of the trackpad isn’t optimal and if your hands are moist, you will have some trouble sliding. It’s responsive, accurate and the mouse buttons provide deep and clicky feedback. The touchpad itself, on the other hand, is also near-perfect. Also, the slightly concaved surface below the spacebar obstructs the normal usage of the mouse buttons dedicated to the pointing stick. So the latter should be moved upwards or the touchpad should be a single plate without dedicated mouse buttons. For instance, we found ourselves pressing the left mouse button at the bottom of the trackpad with our palm when using the trackstick. However, the trackstick’s positioning isn’t ideal. We honestly can’t think of anything bad to say about the keyboard. Anyway, the keyboard is just excellent – long key travel, clicky tactile feedback, discreet LED backlight, slightly concaved keycaps that fit your finger perfectly and all the shortcuts you’d need on a business-oriented laptop. That’s always the downside of these sorts of paints. It’s extremely rigid and feels nice due to the matte soft-touch finish, which again, is a fingerprint magnet. The interior is also of high quality as the base doesn’t flex or bend at any point. We find out in the thorough review below. So the question here is, which one is more comfortable for typing, using on the go, is more portable and more importantly, has the better display. In this case, the price tag puts in the same category as Lenovo’s iconic ThinkPad T470 notebook, which sports a similar set of features and delivers the same performance. Also, if you opt for the more powerful configuration with Core i7-7600U, you can benefit from Intel’s vPro technologies. But if you are strictly looking for a business laptop with the trackstick in the middle of the keyboard and the fingerprint scanner for security reasons, well spending so much money on the Latitude 7480 kind of makes sense. For example, the ASUS ZenBook UX410UQ and Acer’s Swift 5 are excellent examples of portable and reliable business solutions with everything you’d need from a business laptop. When looking for a 14-inch notebook, a few come to mind that are not only more affordable but more powerful as well. ![]() But like every laptop out there, the Latitude 7480 has its drawbacks so we are here to take a closer look and try to find them. The notebook offers excellent build quality, long battery life, enough I/O when you get back to the office and, of course, comfortable input devices. If you are seriously considering a premium 14-inch ultrabook for your business, you just can’t miss on the Latitude 14 7480.
