DELL Latitude 7290 12.5" FHD i7-8650U 32GB 256GB SSD

Compact business laptop

The Dell Latitude 7290 is a 12.5-inch notebook built for professionals who need a lightweight Windows 11 Pro device with a quad-core processor. Its integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles office applications and video playback without a discrete GPU. The 32 GB DDR4 memory and 256 GB PCIe M.2 SSD support multitasking and fast boot times for daily productivity.

Quad-core i7-8650U performance

The Intel Core i7-8650U runs at a 1.9 GHz base frequency and reaches 4.2 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost across four cores and eight threads. This specification determines whether the system meets the processing demands of your workloads such as spreadsheet modelling or virtual meetings. Buyers who need sustained heavy compute or discrete graphics should consider other form factors.

Thermals and power in normal use

The slim unibody chassis relies on integrated graphics and a low-power CPU to keep heat and fan noise modest during typical office tasks. Bluetooth 4.1 and dual-band wireless connect peripherals without adding thermal load. The 256 GB SSD produces no mechanical noise, keeping the environment quiet for open-plan workspaces.
