Dell Latitude 7480 (7600U, FHD) Laptop Review

I don't see the issue about key-presses being dropped.

I do think that the non-touch BOE 1920x1080 matte panel seems to suffer from PWM flickering on this machine.

I've been using one of these machines for about a week now.  While I agree with most of your review, I do have to disagree with the following:

"...the new single-hinge design forced Dell to relocate the ports to the side, which does improve ergonomics to a certain degree in our opinion."

For you to have that opinion, you either have to be at least one of the following:
--right handed
--never use a mouse
--never use the computer when either docked, or power cabled, or connected to HDMI.

For us lefties, the area to the left of the keyboard is our mouse territory--and now, I always have either a docking cable, and/or a power cable, and/or an HDMI cable, in the way.  And sometimes, a USB cable/device as well (since there's only one of those on the right side).  They're ALWAYS in the way.

I've talked to my employer's IT department, and will be switching to a 5480 soon, for just this reason.  10% of the population is left-handed, and this design is ergonomically awful for that group.

I have both 7470 and 7480.
The display of 7480 is yellowish. Color temperature is some what 5000K or lower. the white areas are not exact white.
7470 is much better, white areas are exact white.
The reviewer is expected to report this.
I have both a 7480 and aI am disappointed.

Cannot possibly agree regarding the keyboard.  This laptop has a terrible keyboard.  The keys jam against the frame.  If you type too quickly the keys don't register.  The bottom left of the keyboard requires considerable pressure for the keys to register.  The keyboard makes the laptop unbearable.  I expect it's keyboards like this which lead to RSI.  I don't know how this keyboard made it beyond the prototype phase.
