Terms Apply. Promotion ends 3 December 2023. Items are subject to availability. Max 5 units per customer. 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. Sure, the screen isn’t as beautiful, the svelte aluminum casing doesn’t apply, and the bezel isn’t razor-thin. But this Latitude is thinner and lighter than any of its direct predecessors, and the footprint has shrunk appreciably as well. This has all occurred alongside the tactful preservation of most of what defines a business PC: a subtle, understated case design, versatile connectivity options, and a functionality over form foundational philosophy. The Latitude emits up to 289 nits (a measure of brightness), which is higher than the 239-nit EliteBook and the 184-nit ThinkPad, but just below the 303-nit average for ultraportable notebooks. That's bright enough for 45-degree viewing angles to the left or right, where it darkens just slightly. Dell Latitude 7280 keyboard and touchpad

The Latitude 7280's integrated Intel HD 620 graphics earned it a fairly pedestrian score of 56,318 on the Ice Storm Unlimited graphics test -- very similar to the 56,633 average for ultraportable notebooks. The EliteBook (Intel HD 525) and the ThinkPad (Intel HD 520) earned slightly higher marks of 59,071 and 59,489, respectively. The section belowprovides links to articles that contain information about the different hardware on your system. 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 That's not true of its 3DMark graphics scores—356 for the Fire Strike subtest, compared to 401 for the Razer Blade Stealth and 429 for the ZenBook 3—but that simply underscores that neither the Latitude nor any other integrated-graphics business laptop is built for 3D arcade or shoot-'em-up action. Casual and solitaire games, not the latest fast-blast titles, are its pastimes of choice. If I had to point to the 7280's greatest asset, it's the keyboard. It's just a joy to use, and that is critical for this class of device.

Dell Latitude 7280 Specs

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. M3X3 screw(most computers include these.

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. For more information and installation instructions see the following link:

Performance

Het updateproces geeft eerst het Dell logo weer en vervolgens wordt er een updatebericht weergegeven, samen met een voortgangsbalk. Nadat de update is voltooid, wordt het systeem automatisch opnieuw opgestart. 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.

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

Input Devices

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). M.2 storage devices are classified numerically based on performance. The higher the Class, the faster the overall performance: 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 Although the FCC information and device ID are stamped on the bottom (and not hidden) the overall aesthetic of the latitude 7280 is spotless, not flashy, and it's very professional. It's not the type of device that draws attention in a room, which is perfect for its professional audience.

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. The original SATA protocol was designed to maximize the performance of platter (physical spinning) hard drives. With the proliferation of SSD drives, the SATA storage management protocol has become a limiting factor. The NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory) protocol has been designed for solid state drives and uses the PCIe bus for optimal performance. An M.2 drive may support SATA or PCIe/NVMe but not both. Depending on the drive, and what the computer can support, not all M.2 drives work in all computers.We have long praised touchpads (especially on business models) with separate physical buttons, and the Latitude 7280 continues this trend with two very comfortable (and quiet) hardware buttons. However, the touchpad itself, an Alps Electric product, has lost ground somewhat over the years in comparison to its peers such as many Synaptics-brand touchpads and even the Dell XPS 13’s Elan touchpad, which we found to be excellent in spite of its integrated buttons. Regardless, it’s still decent, and most of the time, gestures and pointing work just fine. The finish isn’t as comfortable as that of the XPS 13, which features a smooth glass touchpad surface, but it’s roughly equivalent with that of previous Latitudes, which have shown to hold up well under heavy use for years. It’ll do, but we hope that this is one of the components slated for revision in future models—ideally while still preserving the hardware buttons. Given a choice between using the IR camera for facial recognition and the fingerprint reader, the former is more convenient and reliable. Latitude 7280 battery life is outstanding The 256GB solid-state drive in the Latitude 7280 we tested was faster than a traditional hard drive, but other SSDs outpaced it. So although the Latitude finished our file-transfer test in 53 seconds for a speed of 96 MBps, faster speeds were achieved by the EliteBook's 256GB SATA-3 SSD (145.4 MBps), the ThinkPad's 256GB SSD (157.1 MBps) and the ultraportables average (182.7 MBps).
