Product Information

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.

That's below both the score from the EliteBook (116 percent) and the average for ultraportable notebooks (98 percent). Auto Input Only - The keyboard illuminates when the internal keyboard, touchpad, or pointstick is used. In addition to these inadequacies (the significance of which is quite subjective), the 7280 retains a couple of the (albeit relatively minor) flaws of its predecessor. Command | Update keeps the system up-to-date on software and drivers from Dell; Command | Power Manager optimizes battery life, among other things; and SupportAssist organizes system info and support links.Layout, key sizing, and spacing also feel familiar, with the unorthodox arrow key/Page Up/Page Down combo still present in the lower right corner. The Latitude and Carbon show some of the greatest stamina we've seen among laptops with traditional, non-swappable power packs.

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. Press the Tab key until Additional Mouse Options is highlighted, and press the Spacebar (a figure of a touchpad should be showing). Subjectively, we certainly feel the same way: the Latitude 7280 is fast to do just about everything: boot, launch applications, sleep, and resume. However, also MIA is the mini-DisplayPort, presumably deemed superfluous in the presence of the new Thunderbolt port and the existing HDMI port (which remains).If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether. In that case, find an external mouse and see Dell Knowledge Base article How to Download and Install Dell Drivers for more information about downloading drivers. Other options also exist, ranging from an inexpensive 1366x768 resolution 200 nit brightness panel all the way up to two touchscreen options—both 1080p, but one with a woven carbon fiber display lid, and the other with a conventional magnesium alloy back (similar to ours). Plus, with over a decade’s worth of experience in working with sustainable materials, you can feel good about less environmental waste in product and packaging.

Although the Latitude 7280 outclasses its Skylake HD Graphics 520 rivals by roughly 10% in all GPU-specific benchmarks, it is consistently the lowest performer amongst the three HD Graphics 620 competitors in our field. However, the hinges still feel as tight and supportive as ever, and the display resists vibrations and bouncing as well as just about any we have evaluated.If none of these keys have the illumination icon printed on it, your computer does not have a backlit keyboard. It has long been assumed that business machines need not share the sleek styling and luxurious sensibilities of high-end consumer-grade fare, but (in line with the competition) with the introduction of the Latitude 7280, Dell has begun taking further steps toward repealing this longstanding notion. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this with the Latitude 7000 line, either; these machines are almost consistently supplied with high-quality, loud, well-balanced speakers which seem to defy their own size.

The Dell Latitude 7280 packs speedy performance, a bright display and fantastic battery life into a thin, light design that's easy to carry. By comparison, the previous-generation Skylake contender (the Core i7-6500U) can only manage up to 3. The first of these is maintainability, which—while still overall very good—is not on the level of its predecessors. The soft-touch paint used on the lid and deck gives the chassis a good feel and makes it easy to grip.
