I would skip these. The 7490 i have dealt with is the i7 version they are selling here. We were using these at work and now we have been replacing them with the 7420 models. I still have about 100 more to replace just because we replace them every few years. I deal with 2 to 3 of these machines with the battery expanding and the bottom almost pops off. I don't know why Dell has not recalled the batteries. They are getting old that they are not holding up for their age. So i work in IT if you have not figured that out, currently, i am working on a 7270 that I spilled coffee on a few years ago. I don't think they made dell computers as they do. I won't even get into the 7410 and 7420 models that i also now deal with.

I worked in this area of Dell for several years. These systems are NOT refurbished. They are systems that have been returned after leases expire. Their only "test" is if it turns on. If it turns on, they wipe the exterior with a cloth, hard drive is wiped clean, a fresh OS is installed, and if the lid on a system is marred, they will literally place a large sticker on it that covers the entire lid to make it look fresh and clean. These units are then put in large bulk pack containers for resale. If you want a better deal, buy from www.delloutlet.com. This site sells newer gen systems that are truly refurbished Dell computers. Every system that enters the factory is completely tested, HDD wiped clean, repaired if necessary with new Dell parts, fresh OS installed, and individually boxed for resale. They also come with a same-as-new warranty. That is the only place I buy my computers these days.

You can find these used for even less on eBay (quad-core 1080p for $200-250) but paying extra for the 100-day warranty & presumably cleaner condition might be worth it.

I feel like most people would be better off with the cheapest 1080p quad-core option, but the ram and storage upgrades are pretty cheap. $70 more to go from 256gb ssd + 8gb ram to 512gb ssd + 32gb ram.

Just be wary of the swelling battery issue.

Pretty good price but my work laptop has this hardware and the onboard video is just too slow, it can barely play Roblox. An 11th gen Intel with Iris Xe is a big step up and those go for $650 new. If you don't care about graphics this is solid.

if you're looking at 4 core FHD screen models you may as well consider the Surface laptop 3 refurbs from M$ for about $400 with better specs and warranty.

I bought a 7390 a month ago. No complaints except there's a 15% restocking fee and return shipping cost if you don't like it and change your mind.

I got 50% off and 15% cash back also, you need that kind of discount to make the deals worthwhile.

Man, I'm looking to replace my old Dell refurbished as the SSD is dead. Looking for a screaming deal, but not sure what to get. I don't play games, but would like a decent processor that lasts awhile.

These are built to last. The one I bought five years did not die just the battery and the hard drive eventually did. At that point it was not worth saving.

Is there any way to tell if the panels are IPS or TN? Or how about the battery life?

Do you think the i5 might be ok, or would that issue likely affect all models?

How do these compare to the Gateway with newer processors?
