The Certified Refurbished Dell Latitude 7390 is a 13.3-inch business ultrabook powered by an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8650U quad-core processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, a 256GB M.2 SATA SSD, and a Full HD 1920×1080 WVA anti-glare display—running Windows 11 Pro. At 306 × 210.6 × 16.1 mm and approximately 1.37 kg, it sits in the standard 13-inch form factor that balances screen real estate with portability. The 7390 shares the same i7-8650U processor as the smaller 7290 but pairs it with a larger, higher-resolution WVA panel—which means noticeably better viewing angles and sharper text for extended document work or side-by-side windows. Because the SSD is SATA rather than NVMe, it won't match newer models on raw file transfer speed, but Windows still loads in under 20 seconds and application performance for business workloads is consistently smooth. Tested by our technicians in early 2026, this 2018-era corporate machine remains capable for everyday professional computing.

Ideal For

The 7390 suits professionals who want a 13-inch Full HD display without paying for current-generation hardware—think office workers managing documents, spreadsheets, and video calls across a typical workday, or students who need a reliable laptop for lectures, research, and assignment writing with a screen that doesn't compromise on resolution. The Full HD WVA panel makes it more comfortable than HD-only 13-inch alternatives when viewing content at an angle, which matters in meeting rooms or shared workspaces.

It's less suited to users running memory-intensive workflows—the 8GB RAM ceiling becomes noticeable when running Slack, multiple browser sessions, Office, and a video call simultaneously. Users who need that headroom should consider a 16GB configuration or a newer model.

Key Features & Benefits

• Intel Core i7-8650U (8th Gen, up to 4.2GHz Turbo): A quad-core vPro-capable processor that handles sustained business workloads—Office applications, video conferencing, and light data processing—without thermal throttling under typical office loads.
• 13.3" Full HD WVA Display (1920×1080, anti-glare): WVA (Wide Viewing Angle) technology delivers broader horizontal and vertical viewing angles than TN panels, which means colours and contrast hold up when colleagues look over your shoulder or the screen isn't perfectly straight-on. A step up from the HD displays found on some 13-inch business laptops at this price point.
• 256GB M.2 SATA SSD: No moving parts, fast boot times, and silent operation. SATA rather than NVMe, therefore sequential speeds are around 500 MB/s—fast enough to eliminate perceptible lag in everyday use.
• 8GB DDR4 2400MHz (expandable to 16GB): The single SODIMM slot means RAM can be upgraded later if needed—a practical advantage over soldered configurations. 8GB handles standard business multitasking; upgrade to 16GB if your workload is heavier.
• Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C): Supports external 4K displays, high-speed storage peripherals, and single-cable docking at up to 40Gb/s—useful for desk setups where a single cable handles power, display, and peripherals.
• Intel Dual-Band Wireless-AC 8265 + Bluetooth 4.2: Reliable 802.11ac Wi-Fi with stable range for video calls and cloud-based applications without a wired connection.
• HD Webcam with Microphone: Built-in and functional for Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet out of the box.
• Intel UHD Graphics 620: Handles 1080p video playback and dual external display output comfortably; not suited to 3D rendering or modern games.

Common Questions

What's the difference between this and the Dell Latitude 7290?

The core hardware is identical—both run the i7-8650U with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SATA SSD. The meaningful difference is the display: the 7390 has a 13.3-inch Full HD WVA panel at 1920×1080, while the 7290 is 12.5 inches at 1366×768 on a TN panel. That translates to more screen space, sharper text, and better viewing angles on the 7390. The trade-off is slightly more weight (1.37 kg vs 1.19 kg) and a larger footprint.

Can the RAM be upgraded?

Yes. The 7390 has a single accessible SODIMM slot, which means you can replace the 8GB module with a 16GB DDR4 2400MHz SODIMM later. This is a genuine advantage over newer ultrabooks where memory is soldered. If you regularly run Teams, multiple browser sessions, and Office simultaneously, upgrading to 16GB is worthwhile and straightforward on this model.

Is Windows 11 stable on 8th-gen hardware?

In our testing, yes. The i7-8650U includes TPM 2.0 support, which is the main hardware requirement for Windows 11. We ship these units with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and fully activated. Performance under typical office workloads is stable—the OS runs cleanly on this CPU and RAM configuration without noticeable overhead compared to Windows 10.

Performance & Real-World Use

In our testing, the i7-8650U on the 7390 handles a standard business workload—Teams video call, Word and Excel open, Chrome with 10–12 tabs—at around 60–70% CPU utilisation with consistent thermal management. The Full HD WVA panel is the practical standout of this model: side-by-side documents are legible without zooming out, and the wider viewing angles make it more comfortable in open-plan offices than the TN alternatives common at this price range.

The 8GB RAM is the most relevant limitation to set realistic expectations. In our experience, it's sufficient for focused single-application work or moderate multitasking, but users who habitually run five or more heavy applications simultaneously will notice the ceiling. The upgradeable SODIMM slot means this is addressable without replacing the machine.

Operating System

This unit ships with Windows 11 Pro 64-bit pre-installed and activated. The i7-8650U includes TPM 2.0, qualifying the 7390 for Windows 11 where many similarly aged consumer laptops do not. Microsoft supports Windows 11 Pro with security updates through 2031. Users coming from Windows 10 will find the interface familiar—the primary adjustment is the repositioned Start menu.

Cosmetic Condition Guide

Reboot IT grades all laptops across three tiers. Excellent (Grade A) units show only very minor scuffing, zero dead pixels, and even backlight distribution—suited to client-facing professionals. Good (Grade B) units may show visible scratches, 1–3 dead pixels, and small paint chips, but are fully functional—a practical choice for home office and everyday use. Fair (Grade C) units carry heavier cosmetic wear, but pass all functional testing—appropriate where appearance is secondary to budget. All three grades carry a 12-month warranty. See our full grading guide for screen, body, keyboard, and battery standards by condition.
