Dell Latitude 7480/How Many Screens/Dock Options?
-
No, all from the laptop
-
3 total. Either 3 external or 2 external + laptop LCD
-
Yes. I have a user running two 4k screens, not sure if it would support 3 @ 4k, I don't have a 3rd to test it with.
-
Depends on the warranty you purchase, they have a lot of different options. Standard/Default is 3yr hardware
-
TB16 hands down, worth the extra cost. The WD15 I believe will only support 1 4k external monitor as well.
-
Larger dock supporting more devices = needs more power
The TB16 has 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort and 1x mDP. I have a bunch of users using 3 monitors with this configuration, all at 1080x1920.

Hello All, thanks for looking!
I am looking for some help with choosing a dock for my Dell Latitude 7480. I am in the UK and my specs are as follows:
I have a core i5 7200U CPU and 16G of ram which i intend to upgrade to 32G. The onboard GPU is Intel HD Graphics 620.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025672/graphics-drivers.html
Intel seems to say I can support three displays..
I see the following relevant docks that I am looking into:
-
https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/dell-thunderbolt-dock-tb16-240w/apd/452-bcov/pc-accessories
This is the thunderbolt/USB-C dock which i think is newer?
2. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-business-dock-wd15-with-180w-adapter/apd/450-aeuo/pc-accessories
This is the other dock im looking at..
My questions are:
-
Does the thunderbolt dock have any sort of graphics amplification inside it or does it all come from my onboard GPU?
-
How many 1080 Screens could I run on it taking into consideration my brief spec above?
-
Could I run any 4K screens?
-
What warranty does this product come with If I buy it new from Dell.
-
Is the thunderbolt dock better than the other dock in your opinion?
-
Why does the thunderbolt dock come with different wattage options 230 vs 180?
The monitors I currently have each have 1x HDMI connection. 1xVGA 1xDVI connections. I could use adaptors if needed to hook up three displays if it supports it.
Thanks for your time and input!
:)
