This is one of the most well-built business laptops and comes with a keyboard and display that the Gateway laptops don't even come close to.

Also, this model tend to have expanding battery, which eventually breaks the motherboard - at least that my statistical experience with batches from 2-3 years ago. My org deploys tens of thousands of these Dells. I still have one of these corporate 7490 laying around. Dell warranty decided to replace the entire internals damaged by battery instead of simply replacing with new laptop - still don't comprehend the financial logic of that. I can purchase cheap decommissioned laptops like this for personal use, but decided not to throw money - at it.
8 gen CPUS feel slower than 11th gen. The latest generation of Latitudes are much much better, i.e. the 10-11th gen CPUs, but we are yet to see them appear on sale as "refurbished" for ~$300.
Maybe it is an OK buy at around $300 for 16GB RAM models, definitely not worth more than $400 in my opinion. But for personal benchmark my favorite deal so far was the $599 HP Envy 13.3" at Costco couple months ago. Works and feels great.

I had one of these for work that had the 4 core 8 thread i5 (8350?) It was great in performance and form factor, but the motherboard died and got replaced three times before aging out of the two year warranty. It was always the same tantalum capacitor that blew after months of use. I think it was a poor design as I never dropped, spilled, or otherwise abused it. Perhaps it is related to the battery bulging issue or overcurrent in the dc power supply. I've put similar thinkpad ultraportables under much worse stress and have never had issues like that 7490.
