Dell Latitude 7420 2-in-1 — Refurbished Business Laptop (BIOS Locked)
14-inch business laptop with Intel Core i7-1185G7 11th Gen processor, 32GB RAM, 256GB SSD and a Full HD touchscreen — backed by a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT. Note: the BIOS admin password is locked. Windows 11 Home is installed, activated and fully usable; BIOS settings cannot be changed. Priced accordingly.
Why the Latitude 7420 2-in-1 Stands Out
-
32GB RAM — Double the Usual: This configuration ships with 32GB of LPDDR4x, twice the memory of a standard business laptop — the single biggest upgrade for heavy multitasking and virtual machines.
-
11th Gen i7 with Iris Xe Graphics: The i7-1185G7 reaches 4.8GHz and pairs with Intel Iris Xe graphics — a substantial step up from the UHD graphics in earlier Latitudes for photo work and external displays.
-
360° 2-in-1 with Pen Support: The display folds fully flat and back into tablet mode, with active pen support for note-taking, sketching and document markup.
-
Thunderbolt 4 Connectivity: Two Thunderbolt 4 ports deliver 40Gbps transfer, dual 4K display output and single-cable docking with power delivery.
-
Bright 300-Nit Anti-Reflective Panel: A 14-inch Full HD touch display at 300 nits with an anti-reflective finish and IR camera for Windows Hello face sign-in.
-
Priced for the BIOS Lock: A premium 32GB 11th Gen convertible priced below its unlocked equivalent because the BIOS administrator password is locked.
What Does "BIOS Locked" Mean?
The BIOS (the firmware setup screen you can enter before Windows starts) has an administrator password set by the previous corporate owner that cannot be removed. In everyday use this changes nothing — the laptop powers on and boots straight into Windows 11 Home, every port and feature works, and software installs normally. What you can't do is open the BIOS setup screen to change firmware settings such as the boot order. If you plan to run the machine as a normal Windows laptop, the lock simply means a better price for identical day-to-day performance.
How the Latitude 7420 2-in-1 Performs Day-to-Day
The i7-1185G7 handles Microsoft 365, large Outlook mailboxes, Chrome or Edge with many tabs open, and Teams or Zoom calls without slowing down. 32GB of memory keeps application switching responsive, and the 256GB SSD delivers fast boots and instant file access throughout the working day.
At 1.4kg this is a genuinely portable machine that stands up to daily commuting. Thunderbolt makes desk transitions effortless — a single cable to a compatible dock delivers external monitors, USB peripherals and wired networking. The webcam and microphone handle video conferencing cleanly, and the 63Wh battery keeps pace with a working day.
Connectivity covers 2× thunderbolt 4 usb-c, 1× usb-a 3.2, hdmi, microsd, 3.5mm audio, plus Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (2×2, 160MHz) + Bluetooth. There is no built-in RJ-45 port — wired networking runs through a USB-C adapter or dock.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "BIOS locked" actually mean for me?
The firmware setup screen is protected by the previous owner's admin password, which cannot be removed. The laptop boots straight into Windows 11 Home and works completely normally — you just can't change BIOS settings such as boot order. If you use it as a regular Windows laptop you'll never notice; if you need firmware access or want to boot from USB, this machine isn't the right pick.
