The Dell Latitude 7290 is a compact, business-class 12.5" laptop engineered for professionals who prioritise extreme portability without sacrificing enterprise-grade performance. Powered by an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor (typically the i7-8650U), this system utilises quad-core architecture to handle demanding workloads and intensive multitasking. With support for up to 16GB of DDR4 RAM, the 7290 ensures a responsive user experience, allowing for quick transitions between complex spreadsheets, browser tabs, and communication tools.
The device features a 12.5-inch anti-glare display, available in high-definition resolutions that provide sharp text and clear visuals for daily office tasks. Its unibody design is crafted from premium materials, including a magnesium alloy chassis that meets military-grade durability standards (MIL-STD 810G), ensuring it can withstand the rigours of frequent travel. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 powers the visual experience, providing reliable performance for presentations and multimedia content while maintaining energy efficiency for longer mobile use.
For data management, the Latitude 7290 is equipped with a high-speed PCIe NVMe SSD (common configurations include 256GB or 512GB), which significantly reduces boot times and accelerates file transfers. Connectivity is a core strength of this model, featuring a versatile USB Type-C port with DisplayPort and Power Delivery capabilities, alongside two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports and a full-sized HDMI 1.4 output. Integrated Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2 technology provide stable wireless networking, while an RJ-45 Ethernet port remains available for secure, hardwired office connections.
Security and longevity are central to the 7290’s design, featuring TPM 2.0 for hardware-based encryption and optional Windows Hello-compatible infrared cameras for secure facial recognition. The laptop’s 4-cell battery is designed for all-day productivity, often lasting up to 10 hours depending on usage, and supports ExpressCharge technology to replenish power during short breaks quickly. Running on Windows 11 Pro, this lightweight powerhouse—weighing approximately 2.6 lbs—remains a top choice for mobile users seeking a secure and durable business machine.
