Product Information

M3X3 screw(most computers include these. These secure the Y1WJX M.2 drive carrier, or a 2.5" drive into 745TM)

TPM file-encryption chips come standard, but to get the Latitude with Intel vPro remote management, you'll need to configure it with a Core i5-7300U or higher. Dell Latitude 7280 display All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location. But beyond these negatives, there are also quite a few positives to take into account. For starters, the 7280’s build quality is impeccable, with hardly any flex and a wonderfully ergonomic feel despite its thin and light profile. Battery life is positively outstanding. The keyboard is among the best in its class. The machine is practically silent (apart from the CPU noise) during most usage, and it still manages reasonable temperatures. And performance is blisteringly fast in general system operation, with synthetic application benchmarks putting most others to shame.Overall, I'm impressed with the endurance of the Latitude 7280. There is no doubt that you can leave the AC charger home when taking this out for the day and even night. Heat and noise Opmerking 3: Uw systeem moet opnieuw worden opgestart na het installeren van het BIOS. Het opnieuw opstarten kan worden uitgesteld, maar moet worden voltooid om ervoor te zorgen dat de update is geïnstalleerd. To review one of the primary case revisions we discussed earlier, the Latitude 7280 exchanges the longstanding dual-hinge design for a single central hinge nearly identical to that of the XPS 13. It is this modification which also allows for the incorporation of the exhaust vent in the hinge cavity, which arguably is a much more convenient location for both lap-based and desk-based usage (both in terms of comfort and even noise levels). Given a choice between using the IR camera for facial recognition and the fingerprint reader, the former is more convenient and reliable.

They can help you to troubleshoot any problems that are identified using the above diagnostics. There are also general "How to" articles that can help with tasks, for example like updating the BIOS or upgrading a hard drive. AC Adapter and Battery

Just under the front edge of the keyboard are the 7280's stereo speakers, which pump out enough sound to fill a midsized conference room. Audio is good at low volumes, though predictably short on booming bass, but grows ragged as you crank the volume past 75 percent. At 100 percent, it'll remind you of the first AM radio you had as a kid. When you're ready for a break from work, the Latitude 7280 can handle some modest gaming. The system ran Dirt 3 (set to 1920 x 1080 pixels and medium graphics) at 46 frames per second, surpassing our 30-fps playability threshold and the 35-fps ultraportable average. Dell Latitude 7280 battery life Dell takes a lot of cues for the Latitude 7280 from its XPS 13 line but minus the frills and high-end display. The Latitude 7280 is best described as a ruggedized business laptop, and it passes MIL-SPEC-810G tests including drops from 30 inches, extreme temperatures and more. It should not be surprising that the 7280's screen quality is below the high-end consumer XPS 13. Available in Full HD (1920 x 1080) the 7280 can go as low as HD (1366 x 768) for companies buying this in bulk and who want to save some money. The display is only 12.5", which is interesting because of the XPS 13, which is 13.3" with its Infinity Edge IGZO panel in the same frame. The Latitude earned a high score of 8,008 on the Geekbench 3 general performance test. The lower-tier, previous-generation CPUs in the EliteBook (Core m5-6Y57; 5,739) and ThinkPad X260 (Intel Core i5-6300U; 6,424) produced predictably lower scores.

Case

The keyboard on the Latitude 7280 is one of the best Dell has created. Featuring a large 1.7 millimeters of key travel the 7280 beats out the XPS 13 and XPS 15, which only have 1.3mm. It makes a huge difference. There should be little question that the Latitude 7280 is far from being a graphics powerhouse. Nevertheless, the HD 620 does well enough for a productivity machine while keeping power consumption low. During our CPU stress test, the Latitude 7280 began at 3.9 GHz for both cores before dropping down after 30 seconds to around 3.25 GHz. The drop occurs after CPU cores approach and eventually cross 90 °C thanks to the rather conservative cooling policy, which holds fan speeds to surprisingly low levels. In regards to the latter, the fan stays almost inaudibly quiet for the first few minutes of stress testing before eventually reaching more noticeable speeds. This suggests that the Latitude 7280 will perform appreciably better than other systems in short bursts, but that under sustained load, the cost difference between the Core i5 and Core i7 models is likely not justified. SupportAssistpreviously called My Dell, provides system updates, detects issues, and sends you alerts based on your device, which makes solving and preventing problems easier than ever. This application gives you access to everything you must have totake the guesswork out of maintaining PCs and tablets.

The Latitude 7280 feels like any other zippy Ultrabook in 2017 when it comes to light and ordinary tasks. However, if I was to buy one I would opt for the faster PCIe SSD option available on Dell.com. But SATA is more than fine for business use. Dell Latitude 7280 review bottom line
