DELL Latitude 7290 laptop i5-8350U 32GB 128GB 12.5" HD

12.5" HD business laptop

The Dell Latitude 7290 is a compact 12.5 inch notebook with a 1366 x 768 non-touch display. It runs Windows 11 Pro on an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8350U quad-core processor with integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a 16 GB x 2 configuration and a 128 GB PCIe M.2 SSD. It is built for mobile professionals who need a lightweight Windows device for office applications and web-based workflows.

Check ports, storage and memory layout

Verify that the two USB 3.0 ports and the USB Type-C port with DisplayPort functionality match your peripheral and external monitor needs. The single 128 GB SSD may require an external drive or cloud storage for large media libraries. The 32 GB DDR4 RAM uses both SO-DIMM slots as a 16 GB x 2 kit, so future memory upgrades would require replacing the existing modules. Wireless connectivity relies on Intel Dual Band Wireless with Bluetooth 4.1.

Suits mobile office users, not heavy creators

This laptop suits buyers who prioritise portability and a full Windows 11 Pro environment for document editing, email and browser-based tasks. The integrated graphics and HD-resolution screen limit its usefulness for video editing, 3D rendering or colour-critical design work. The 128 GB drive capacity will feel restrictive for users who keep large local project files or media collections. Buyers needing a higher-resolution display, discrete graphics or multiple internal storage bays should look at larger workstation-class models.
