Certified Refurbished Dell Latitude 7280 Laptop — Core i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD
The certified refurbished Dell Latitude 7280 combines an Intel Core i7-7600U processor with 8GB DDR4 RAM, a fast 256GB SSD, and a 12.5-inch HD display (1366×768) in one of the most portable business ultrabooks Dell produced. Because the i7-7600U boosts to 3.9GHz under load, it handles everyday professional workloads—video calls, cloud apps, spreadsheets, and multi-tab browsing—without slowdown. Weighing approximately 1.25kg, this is a laptop that fits in any bag and is ready the moment you open it.
Ideal For
This ultrabook suits users who need reliable portability over raw power:
- Business travellers and remote workers — compact enough to carry daily, capable enough for Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and web-based tools running simultaneously
- Students and educators — handling research tabs, Zoom lectures, and document editing without lugging a heavier 14–15-inch machine
- Home office users — dependable everyday computing for web browsing, Office apps, and video streaming at a sensible price point
Key Features & Benefits
- Intel Core i7-7600U Processor: Dual-core with Hyper-Threading, boosting to 3.9GHz—which means tasks like large spreadsheets, video conferencing, and file compression stay responsive without throttling
- 8GB DDR4 RAM: Sufficient for running several applications at once; in our testing, this handles Microsoft Office, a browser with 10+ tabs, and a communication app without noticeable lag
- 256GB SSD: No moving parts means Windows loads in under 15 seconds and the laptop wakes from sleep almost instantly—eliminating the most common frustration with older business machines
- 12.5-inch Compact Display: The smallest screen in the Latitude 7000 series, therefore ideal for users frequently working in tight spaces or on the go
- Intel HD Graphics 620: Handles 1080p video playback and dual-display output smoothly—capable for all standard professional use cases, though not suited for 3D gaming
- Built-in Webcam: Ready for video conferencing straight out of the box with no external accessories required
- MIL-SPEC Business Build: Dell's reinforced chassis is engineered for daily professional use, which means it withstands the wear of a mobile work life better than consumer-grade alternatives at the same price
Can it handle video calls while multitasking?
Yes. The i7-7600U paired with 8GB RAM manages Microsoft Teams or Zoom alongside open documents and browser tabs comfortably. We routinely test this configuration running 2–3 active applications alongside a video call without performance drops.
How does this compare to newer budget laptops?
The Latitude 7280's i7-7600U performs similarly to modern entry-level Core i5 processors in everyday tasks. Where it stands apart is build quality—Dell's business ultrabook construction is noticeably sturdier than most new consumer laptops at the same price. Tested February 2026, this Kaby Lake-generation ultrabook remains fully capable for everyday computing needs.

Pros: Windows 10 Pro includes business-grade features such as BitLocker encryption, domain join, and Remote Desktop—valuable for professionally managed environments. Cons: Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 10 in October 2025, meaning the OS no longer receives new feature updates; security patches continue under extended support, and users may wish to evaluate upgrade options over time.
Cosmetic Condition Guide
Excellent Grade: Minimal signs of prior use—clean lid and keyboard deck, no visible scratches on the display, presents very close to new condition.

Our supplier's refurbished hardware is typically graded either "Excellent" or "Good", however, some legacy products were graded under a letter grading system (A, B, C). Please find the definitions for each grade below and contact us if you're uncertain of a device's grade.
Used Smartphone / Refurbished Mobile Phones
"Excellent" Grade
Devices in this category appear like new, with very minor wear. Expect light or fine scratches on the screen that are shallow enough not to catch on a fingernail. The edge around the glass is virtually flawless, save for possible light scratching around the power port. The back plate may show light/fine scratches, including on the Apple logo, with any discoloration being minimal.
"Good" Grade
These devices are characterized by being fully tested and functional even if they have body scratches, minor paint chips, or a small hairline crack on the screen. Screens are free from dead pixels but may exhibit slight scratching from moderate use.
Refurbished Desktops, Laptops and Monitors
"Excellent" Grade - Laptops
Reserved for units that show barely any signs of previous use, these laptops may exhibit very minor scuffing or abrasions, associated only with minimal standard use. The keyboards show light wear, and importantly, the screens are pristine, free from any scratches, cracks, chips, dead pixels, dark spots, discoloration, or blemishes.
"Excellent" Grade - Desktops
Desktop PCs in the "Excellent" grade category are free from deep scratches, cracks, paint chips, or any broken/missing pieces, ensuring a sleek and almost-new aesthetic.
"Excellent" Grade - Monitors
"Excellent" grade is reserved for units that show evidence of very little to no previous use.
