Dell Precision 3480
Dell's newest entry workstation with certified NVIDIA graphics, configured to its ceiling — RTX A500, 64GB of DDR5, and up to 1TB of NVMe — for engineers, developers, and designers in Cairo who work on the move.
- Intel Core i7-1370P vPro
- NVIDIA RTX A500 4GB (Max GPU)
- Max 64GB DDR5 (2 Slots)
- Up to 1TB NVMe
- 14" FHD 1920x1080
- Processor Intel Core i7-1370P

- Max Memory Max 64GB DDR5 (2 Slots)
- Max Storage Up to 1TB NVMe
The Dell Precision 3480 is Dell's newest and thinnest entry-level Precision — a 14" chassis at just 1.39kg. This unit is configured toward its ceiling: the RTX A500 is the only discrete GPU Dell offers on this platform, memory tops out at 64GB of DDR5-4800 across both SO-DIMM slots, and the single M.2 Gen4 NVMe slot takes a drive up to 1TB. The RTX A500 4GB adds validated drivers and CUDA acceleration for SolidWorks, Revit, AutoCAD, and light 3D work that integrated Iris Xe graphics can't handle, while the FHD 1920x1080 anti-glare panel keeps power draw and cost sensible. It is the certified, travel-friendly choice for CAD, BIM, development, and design that doesn't need a heavier 45W-class workstation.
Why Choose This Configuration
- Top (and Only) Discrete GPU: RTX A500 4GBISV-validated drivers for SolidWorks, Revit, and AutoCAD, plus CUDA acceleration — a real step above integrated graphics.
- 13th-Gen 14-Core i7 vPro6 performance + 8 efficiency cores to 5.2GHz for CAD, compiling, and multitasking, with enterprise manageability.
- Memory Maxed at 64GB DDR5-4800Both SO-DIMM slots filled, so large models, datasets, and multiple VMs stay in RAM — and both modules stay user-upgradeable.
- Up to 1TB of Gen4 NVMeThe single M.2 slot takes one fast SSD for projects, footage, and local back-up.
- Full Port Set, No Dongle2x Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.0, RJ-45 Ethernet, and USB-A connect to office networks and projectors directly.
- Dell's Lightest PrecisionJust 1.39kg — full certified-workstation build in Dell's most portable chassis to date.
Where the RTX A500 Sits
- Intel Iris Xe (Integrated)Included with the processor — office work and light CAD.
- NVIDIA RTX A500 — 4GB GDDR6 (This Unit, Max)The only discrete option and the top graphics tier on the Precision 3480.
14" FHD Panels Offered
- FHD 250-nit, Non-Touch1920x1080 IPS anti-glare, 60Hz — the standard panel for everyday CAD, code, and office work.
- FHD 400-nit, 100% sRGB, Non-Touch1920x1080 IPS anti-glare, 60Hz — brighter and colour-accurate for design review.
