Dell Latitude 7290 · Intel Core i7 (7th Gen) · 12.5" HD · 8 GB / 256 GB SSD

If you want Dell Latitude 7000 quality without paying new-laptop prices, this is the one to look at. 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 7290 is a light 12.5-inch Latitude that travels well and fits easily into a small bag.

The Core i7 gives you extra headroom for heavier work: big spreadsheets, coding with several tools open, and light photo or video editing. The 7th-generation chip is a refinement of the 6th — slightly faster, better at video playback, and very comfortable for office work and study. 8 GB RAM is the right amount for study, office work and normal multitasking. Storage is a 256 GB SSD, so start-up and file loading are fast. 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, small businesses, enterprises.
