    Been doing the tag search when buying used Dells for over a decade and really does help when avoiding low spec models as well looking for rare opportunities. Bought one last month for scrap and to my surprise the 128gb of ram didn't get taken out.

    I got a 7550 with the i7, a T2000, fp scanner, WWAN and 64gb of ram. Paid 400 bucks for it.

    I love my Dell Latitude 5290 laptop. I use it as a backup when I don't want to bring my main laptop in public. Those 8th-gen U series chips do the job just fine for daily tasks, and are good on battery life. The thing I love most about Latitudes is that their chassis design is generally very durable and sturdy. These things are built like tanks. I've dropped mine so many times, and it's survived quite well. They don't mark up or get dinged easily. And it's super easy to find replacement parts. It is, IMO, the ultimate Windows 11 netbook, and they're cheap, like under $150-$200 on ebay all day.

    1. That is a dumb way that they want the keyboard to be removed.
    2. It said that it came with Qualcomm wifi which means no vPro.
    3. You missed showing if it came with a webcam and/or fingerprint reader.
    4. I'm glad that you showed the power supply so people can see how big/small it is.

      Shoot, you're right. I did miss talking about the camera and fingerprint reader.

    How was the pointing stick on this? I've heard people say that nobody else's is as good as ThinkPad's. I've used several over the years (most recently HP, which was 5-10 years ago), but only briefly, and never really noticed a difference. Mind you, people say the some of the older TP keyboards are better than others, but I've never noticed a difference (except the 701 keys are really stiff).

      It's certainly serviceable. I think the software that interprets the strain gauge readings allows it to "flow" a little better if that makes sense. It isn't a bad experience.

    Some Dell laptops from 2010s are built with cheap plastic materials. These are hydrolytic and start weathering.
    I confirmed the 3rd to 6th gen i-core models are terrible. But before 2nd gen, Dell uses good plastic panels.
    For example, Dell Latitude e6410 comes with the display latch is still useful today, nothing broken or corroded.
    Hope this one is different.

      Not as familar with Dell laptops as I am ThinkPads, perhaps once day when I've looked at more I'll be able to weigh in on the built quality over the years.

      Good to know. My area probably wouldn't qualify as either most months of the year.

    Do these have keyboard backlights? If Dell are selling machines as recent as this without basic keyboard backlights they deserve to be defunct as a brand.

    • @LaptopRetrospective

      I honestly don't remember. I'd say if it isn't listed in the information I scrolled through on the screen, then it probably didn't ship with one.

    Service Tag will tell you service warranty expiration

      @LaptopRetrospective  3 месяца назад +1

      Yeah, often that will already be over, but you might get a surprise and see a few months left depending on the age of the machine. In this category, well expired generally.
