If this is your only source then the i5-1235U is fine, the i7 is barely faster (same core configuration) and gets very similar Passmark results. You can upgrade the rest yourself later, though the grade B i7 32/512 configuration is also quite fair value. Prices seem ok for Dell refurb but you can get cheaper elsewhere. 5440 is very similar but usually 13th Gen and has a slightly revised chassis with bigger exhaust vents on the back.

Advice on purchasing a refurbished Dell Latitude 7400 Series laptop
Go for it since the Latitude 7400 series is pretty good for dev work and light VMs, especially if you’re getting at least 16GB RAM and an SSD. I bought a refurbished one myself on this eBay listing: https://ebay.us/Jpwgit last year, not the exact model, but similar and it’s been dependable. #ad More on reddit.com

Is it worth buying a refurb Latitude E7250 in 2020? (Intel i5-5300U, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, 1920x1080 display)
Are you sure you want to jump from 17 to 12.5 inch? E7250 is not the best build machine. I would avoid this model, It has some flaws. Also would not go below Intel's 6th gen cpus. If you want 12,5inch look at HP 820 G3. More on reddit.com

Shall I Go for a Refurbished ThinkPad/Latitude or buy a newer Laptop

The T480 is an amazing laptop and has everything under the sun one would want. Dual batteries, ram up to 64gb, windows 11 support (dual drives wouldn’t hurt for cross examination, even if you’re going Linux), and repairability through popularity (T480 is the current poster child for thinkpads). The fans are solid, that I’ve found so far. Some of the models even have dgpu.

I’ve seen the 7490 (non-E) and the texture is very weird. A dust and fingerprint magnet it definitely is, also the fan is a bit small for what it needs to push out. It also doesn’t have the dual battery capabilities. Still a fine laptop, but I believe you would enjoy the t480 more. EDIT: unless you get the aluminum one, that doesn’t attract everything to it in a five mile radius and is what we try to get clients when we order latitudes. I currently use a silver 7300.

Asus is a garbage company, with garbage morals and actions. The i3 is a bit of a letdown. Processors have stagnated for years now, might as well go with an i5 of a fairly recent generation than an underpowered i3 and regret it later.

r/Dell on Reddit: Which Dell refurbished latitude do I go with ?
September 7, 2025 -

I’m planning to buy a refurbished laptop for my personal usage, kids school and may be basic gaming for him and last for 3-4 years. Secondary requirement: A bit of personal python coding(not planning to run LLMs), if not I can use office laptop it.

I looked at these options on dellrefurbished website and can you suggest if these are good or look at other models or other place? I looked for latitude because my current office laptop is latitude 5440 and it’s been good.

Thank you.

Hi!

I am looking at some refurbished Dell Latitude 7400 series laptops. I have a budget of $450.

My primary activities would be programming based, like using Visual Studio, and running VMs for testing. My other tasks include document editing and reading research papers, and I expect the laptop to run for at least 9 to 10 hours on battery alone. The description says these laptops will have a battery health of 80% or more. However, I'm ready to replace with a new battery for a long term use.

Should I go ahead with it?

Hey! Thought this might be relevant to you and future readers! I purchased a used/refurbished Dell Latitude 7400. I couldn't believe how good condition it was and so impressed by it's speed and screen: it's colour accurate, great contrast and deep blacks for an IPS display! And it was touchscreen, not that I use it lol 😂 You can't expect perfection, especially for a used laptop. So the only issues were, speaker is tinny (most laptops are), battery is not good, but that can be easily replaced. 7400 can get hot (but it's a slim laptop so that's understandable) and the fan can emit an annoying high pitch whine, but for future readers both these issues can be rectified by going into the bios (press f12 on start up) and turning off turbo boost. After that, It's still fast but rarely gets hot and the fan barely turns on let alone emit a high pitch whine. If it hasn't already been done, a thermal paste can also cool the laptop even better and it's easy to do! It's a good buy if you can get a good deal, after all 7400 was released in 2019. I purchased it for £215 in great condition with one year warranty, but you can get it for cheaper or more depending on condition, specs and warranty. Try to get it under £200, then it'll be an even greater bargain, plus you've saved money for upgrades like the battery. I recommend it. It's fast, great build quality, colour accurate screen with deep blacks/contrast and still has easy battery, SSD and Ram upgradability and you can flash Linux or ChromeOS on it, if ever bloated Window updates slow anything down. Update: Upgraded the three cell battery to a generic 4 cell battery I bought on eBay, lasts longer and was cheap and easy to do 😀. Anyone can do it!
