Editorial note

The Dell Vostro 5480 stands out for its solid performance thanks to its Intel® Core™ i3 4th generation processor, allowing for smooth use for everyday tasks and multimedia applications. Its sleek graphite and silver design, combined with a practical format, makes it an attractive and easy-to-carry laptop, ideal for professionals on the go. Additionally, its 500 GB storage capacity offers valuable flexibility for users with significant storage needs. However, there are some drawbacks to note. The internal memory limited to 4 GB may restrict performance when running multiple heavy applications simultaneously. The lack of a touchscreen and the resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels may also disappoint those seeking higher display quality, especially for graphic work. Furthermore, the 5400 RPM hard drive can lead to longer loading times compared to SSDs, and the lack of USB 3.0 ports limits data transfer speeds. In terms of user experience, the Dell Vostro 5480 receives a satisfactory score, particularly for its modern design and intuitive interface. Performance is deemed solid, although memory may pose issues for more intensive uses. Battery life is reasonable, and the 3-hour recharge time is acceptable. The value for money is fair, although limitations in connectivity and screen resolution may affect its appeal to some users. Finally, it comes with a user manual and a quick start guide, making it easier for new users to get started.
