Dell Latitude E7270 12.5" HD i5-6200U 8GB 240GB SSD

Compact business laptop

The Dell Latitude E7270 is a 12.5 inch HD laptop built around an Intel Core i5-6200U dual-core processor running at 2.30 GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.80 GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a new 240GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit comes pre-installed. The 1366 x 768 non-touch display and integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handle everyday office tasks.

Mobile professionals needing long support

This ultra-portable suits travellers and remote workers who value a light chassis, a mature Windows 10 Pro environment and a three-year parts and labour warranty. Buyers who want more storage than 240GB, a touchscreen, a higher resolution panel or a dedicated graphics card should look at other models. The memory ceiling of 16GB across two slots also limits heavy multitasking upgrades.

M.2 NVMe PCIe boot drive

The single specification that decides fit is the new 240GB M.2 NVMe PCIe solid-state drive. It provides the operating system volume and determines whether the laptop can accept a faster or larger PCIe replacement. Systems limited to a different M.2 protocol would not support this drive.
