Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

What payment options are available?

We offer a variety of payment options to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible! You can pay using all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay, Zip Pay, and PayPal. If you prefer, we also accept bank deposits and even cash for in-store purchases!

Description

Dell Latitude 7290 — Compact i7 Business Ultrabook

The Dell Latitude 7290 is a premium 12.5-inch business ultrabook featuring an Intel Core i7-8650U 8th Gen quad-core processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, and Windows 11 Pro — all backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. Weighing just 1.19 kg with Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, it's one of the most portable i7 laptops available at this price point.

Key Benefits

  • Intel Core i7-8650U: 8th Gen quad-core, up to 4.2GHz boost — faster than most budget-tier laptops at twice the price
  • Ultra-lightweight at 1.19 kg: One of the lightest i7 ultrabooks available — carry it all day without fatigue
  • Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C): Supports single-cable docking, external 4K displays, and high-speed storage — rare at this price
  • 256GB M.2 SSD: Fast boot times and snappy application launches — no moving parts, quiet operation
  • Windows 11 Pro pre-installed: Full business OS with BitLocker, Remote Desktop, and domain join capability
  • MIL-STD-810G rated chassis: Business-grade magnesium alloy construction engineered to withstand daily transport and demanding field use

Performance in Use

For professionals managing documents, spreadsheets, email, and video calls, the Latitude 7290 handles everyday business workloads without hesitation. The i7-8650U quad-core processor manages Microsoft Teams or Zoom video calls alongside 10–15 Chrome tabs and open Office documents with headroom to spare — our technicians observed CPU utilisation sitting around 60–70% under typical combined workloads.

The 256GB M.2 SSD delivers boot times well under 25 seconds and near-instant application launches. While this drive uses SATA rather than PCIe NVMe, it still dramatically outperforms the traditional hard drives found in older refurbished laptops. The compact 12.5-inch form factor combined with Thunderbolt 3 makes this machine an excellent desk–to–field pairing: a single cable at your desk connects a monitor, keyboard, and power; unplug and you're ready to go in seconds.

The integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics handles 1080p video playback and day-to-day display tasks comfortably. This is not a laptop for video editing, 3D rendering, or gaming — those workloads require a dedicated GPU. For its intended audience of business professionals and students, the 7290 delivers reliable performance well above what its price tag suggests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this laptop support Thunderbolt 3?

Yes — the Latitude 7290 includes a full Thunderbolt 3 port via USB-C. This supports external 4K displays, Thunderbolt docks, and high-speed external storage. It's one of the standout features for a laptop in this price range.

What display does it have?

The 7290 ships with a 12.5-inch HD (1366×768) anti-glare TN display. It's clear and usable for documents and communication tools, but the lower resolution means less screen real estate for split-screen workflows compared to Full HD panels.

Can the RAM or SSD be upgraded?

The RAM is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. The M.2 SSD is user-accessible and can be replaced with a higher-capacity M.2 SATA or NVMe drive for users who need more storage.

Is Windows 11 Pro fully activated?

Yes — Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed and fully activated. The Latitude 7290 includes a TPM 2.0 chip, which is why it qualifies for Windows 11 (many older laptops do not). Security updates are supported by Microsoft through 2031.

What shipping is included?

Free standard Australia Post shipping is included across Australia. Express shipping is available at checkout for a small additional fee.

Does it come with a charger?

Yes, a compatible Dell AC adapter is included. The laptop also supports charging via the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port using a compatible USB-C PD charger.

Is this suitable for university students?

Yes — the i7-8650U handles browser-heavy research, Microsoft Office, and Zoom lectures comfortably. The 1.19 kg weight is ideal for carrying between lectures. The 12.5-inch screen is compact; if you prefer a larger display, consider a 14-inch model.
