Dell Latitude 7270 · Intel Core i5 (6th Gen) · 12.5" HD · 8 GB / 256 GB SSD

This Dell Latitude 7270 is the kind of machine that quietly gets the job done, day after day. The Latitude 7000 series is Dell's premium business line — what companies issued to managers and people who travel. Lighter, better-built and nicer to use than the 5000 or 3000 series. The 7270 is a 12.5-inch premium Latitude with a slim build that still feels solid years later.

The Core i5 is the sweet spot for most people — quick enough for multitasking, Office, coding and online classes, without the extra cost of an i7. Sixth-generation Intel brought faster DDR4 memory support, and with an SSD this machine feels quick for everyday work and multitasking. 8 GB RAM is the right amount for study, office work and normal multitasking. The 256 GB SSD means it boots in seconds and apps open quickly. The 12.5-inch HD screen is fine for documents, browsing and video.

Build and everyday use

Slim magnesium or aluminium body, usually 1.2–1.4 kg, with a quality feel. Backlit keyboard on most units and a precise touchpad. It runs Windows 10 Pro. One honest note: Microsoft ended free security updates for Windows 10 in October 2025, so this is best for offline or office-network use, or enrol it in Microsoft's paid Extended Security Updates. Ask us if you'd prefer a Windows 11 option.

Upgrades

Depending on the exact model, RAM is either in slots or soldered — we'll confirm before you upgrade. The M.2 SSD is replaceable.

Who it suits

Professionals who travel, managers, and anyone who wants a premium feel at a sensible price. It sits in our picks for students, schools, small businesses.

Condition and what's in the box

Grade A- means it may have light scuffs or small marks on the lid or base, nothing that affects use. Every unit is tested on our checklist, securely wiped, cleaned and shipped with a compatible charger, a GST invoice and 12-month warranty.
