About this deal

Het hulpprogramma voor BIOS-update uitvoeren vanuit de DOS-omgeving als u de UEFI-opstartmodus gebruikt (niet-Windows-gebruikers) Streamers, beware: Though the Latitude 7280 blasts enough volume to fill a large conference room, it emits annoyingly scratchy audio. I heard varying degrees of distortion on everything from Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" to Migos' "T-Shirt." The Latitude 7280's integrated Intel HD 620 graphics earned it a fairly pedestrian score of 56,318 on the Ice Storm Unlimited graphics test -- very similar to the 56,633 average for ultraportable notebooks. The EliteBook (Intel HD 525) and the ThinkPad (Intel HD 520) earned slightly higher marks of 59,071 and 59,489, respectively.

That's not true of its 3DMark graphics scores—356 for the Fire Strike subtest, compared to 401 for the Razer Blade Stealth and 429 for the ZenBook 3—but that simply underscores that neither the Latitude nor any other integrated-graphics business laptop is built for 3D arcade or shoot-'em-up action. Casual and solitaire games, not the latest fast-blast titles, are its pastimes of choice. That your computer has a Precision Touchpad.

The Dell Latitude 7280 is a light and durable business laptop

Nadat de TPM-update is voltooid, wordt het systeem automatisch opnieuw opgestart om deze te activeren. 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. However, the touchpad itself, an Alps Electric product, has lost ground somewhat over the years in comparison to its peers such as many Synaptics-brand touchpads and even the Dell XPS 13’s Elan touchpad, which we found to be excellent in spite of its integrated buttons. Regardless, it’s still decent, and most of the time, gestures and pointing work just fine. The finish isn’t as comfortable as that of the XPS 13, which features a smooth glass touchpad surface, but it’s roughly equivalent with that of previous Latitudes, which have shown to hold up well under heavy use for years. It’ll do, but we hope that this is one of the components slated for revision in future models—ideally while still preserving the hardware buttons. The Latitude emits up to 289 nits (a measure of brightness), which is higher than the 239-nit EliteBook and the 184-nit ThinkPad, but just below the 303-nit average for ultraportable notebooks. That's bright enough for 45-degree viewing angles to the left or right, where it darkens just slightly. Dell Latitude 7280 keyboard and touchpad

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. The display panel, while bright and high-resolution, remains rather dull in terms of color gamut coverage, and the touchpad is still merely average (though it does provide two physical hardware buttons). And we’re sorry to report that our review unit absolutely possesses the venerable CPU whine symptoms that many have encountered on some previous Dell Ultrabooks. During our CPU stress test, the Latitude 7280 began at 3.9 GHz for both cores before dropping down after 30 seconds to around 3.25 GHz. The drop occurs after CPU cores approach and eventually cross 90 °C thanks to the rather conservative cooling policy, which holds fan speeds to surprisingly low levels. In regards to the latter, the fan stays almost inaudibly quiet for the first few minutes of stress testing before eventually reaching more noticeable speeds. This suggests that the Latitude 7280 will perform appreciably better than other systems in short bursts, but that under sustained load, the cost difference between the Core i5 and Core i7 models is likely not justified.

Sure, the screen isn’t as beautiful, the svelte aluminum casing doesn’t apply, and the bezel isn’t razor-thin. But this Latitude is thinner and lighter than any of its direct predecessors, and the footprint has shrunk appreciably as well. This has all occurred alongside the tactful preservation of most of what defines a business PC: a subtle, understated case design, versatile connectivity options, and a functionality over form foundational philosophy.

Case

Ensure that the BIOS is updated to the latest version. For more information, see Dell Knowledge Base article Dell BIOS Updates. Storage options for the 7280 range from 128 GB up to 1 TB in capacity, all of which are M.2 form factor solid-state drives (the only storage slot available in this tiny machine). Some of these options are conventional M.2 SATA (like ours) and others are NVMe/PCIe drives, since the Latitude supports both. Our particular drive was a 256 GB M.2 SATA (“Class 20” as Dell refers to it) drive: a SanDisk X400 M.2 2280 model specifically. It’s a very fast contender, recording sequential read and write speeds of 499.91 MB/s and 473.31 MB/s, respectively, in AS SSD, as well as fairly good 4K-64 speeds of 354.58/119.14 MBs (read/write) on top of that. Discrepancies are obvious when compared to NVMe drives such as the HP EliteBook 820 G4’s Samsung PM951, but nevertheless, most users will never know the difference. Use the Tab key to move to each option (there will be a box around it), and use the up or down arrows to Enable or Disable an option. Just under the front edge of the keyboard are the 7280's stereo speakers, which pump out enough sound to fill a midsized conference room. Audio is good at low volumes, though predictably short on booming bass, but grows ragged as you crank the volume past 75 percent. At 100 percent, it'll remind you of the first AM radio you had as a kid. Bevestig dat de TPM geen eigenaar heeft. Er vindt geen automatische provisioning van Windows naar de TPM plaats.
