DELL Latitude 7290 laptop Intel Core i7-8650U 1.9 GHz 8GB DDR4 256GB M.2 SATA SSD 12.5" HD

Built for mobile professionals

The DELL Latitude 7290 is a 12.5-inch laptop designed for employees who travel or meet clients regularly. Its unibody construction uses premium materials for structural rigidity while keeping the chassis compact. The HD display runs at 1366 x 768 resolution and is driven by integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620. Windows 10 Pro x64 comes pre-installed on the 256GB M.2 SATA SSD.

Upgrading from slower storage or larger chassis

This unit replaces older hard-drive laptops with a 256GB M.2 SATA SSD that delivers faster boot and load times while conserving battery life. The quad-core Intel Core i7-8650U at 1.9 GHz with 8MB L2 cache handles typical office workloads and light multitasking. Buyers who need more storage capacity or discrete graphics for heavy creative work should look elsewhere. The 8GB DDR4 memory is adequate for standard productivity but not for memory-intensive virtualization.

Simple deployment with standard connectivity

Setup consists of unboxing the laptop, charger and battery then powering on. Two USB 3.0 ports, a Thunderbolt USB-C port, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet and a microSD reader cover most peripheral needs without adapters. The 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless and Bluetooth 4.2 provide reliable connections in office or hotel environments. The integrated webcam supports video calls out of the box. Common issues arise only if the single SSD slot limits future expansion or if the non-touch HD panel feels restrictive for detailed visual work.
