DELL Latitude 7290 12.5 laptop i7-8650U 1.9 8GB 256GB

Ready-to-go business ultraportable

This 12.5 inch Latitude 7290 ships with Windows 10 Home on an Intel Core i7-8650U running at 1.9 GHz. Eight gigabytes of DDR4 and a 256 GB M.2 SATA SSD handle daily office workloads and quick boot cycles. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the 1366 x 768 HD panel. Thunderbolt over USB-C, HDMI and a microSD reader cover docking and presentation needs.

Ideal for mobile professionals, not heavy creators

The compact chassis suits consultants, sales teams and frequent flyers who value light weight and all-day battery potential. Buyers who want more storage headroom, a touchscreen or discrete graphics for video editing or CAD should look at larger workstation models. The non-touch HD display also limits colour-critical design work.

Quad-core i7-8650U at 1.9 GHz sets the performance

Four Kaby Lake R cores with 8 MB L2 cache deliver responsive multitasking for spreadsheets, email and web apps. Sustained loads will throttle in the slim thermal envelope, so continuous compile or render jobs run slower than on thicker laptops. The 1.9 GHz base clock is the key spec to match against your workload.
