Sad that it has no ram slots. If you want two ram slots for your 2in1, check out the 5300 or 5310 on ebay for not much more or even same price for the 5300 2in1.

Good luck!Jon
However, even accounting for the age of these CPUs I think you'll agree that the raw horsepower of most 4-core i-series CPUs has remained sufficient for basic productivity. Heck, I still see plenty of new computers selling for more on slickdeals with less horsepower than the CPU platform in this deal (the two-core i3-1115G4 comes to mind, not to mention all the Atom-based laptop deals).
Personally, something like these 8th generation CPUs -with their Windows 11 support and relative horsepower for productivity tasks - are well within something I wouldn't be embarrassed to recommend to the grandma/kids-crowd (I personally have bought two over two different sales for just that). In contrast, while 7th generation and older 4-core i-series designs might be more than functional for Windows 10 I tend to leave them for either the pros (many of whom won't even use them for Windows-based applications) or for the most hard-core of deal seekers (is a $100 device with solid Windows 10 productivity capabilities really a terrible waste of cash if it has almost three more years of support left?).
Good luck!

There's alot of info in this thread : https://slickdeals.net/f/16071211-dell-latitude-7390-or-7390-2-in-1-refurbished-starts-from-199-50-at-dell-refurbished
But, basically.. sounds you received a pretty crappy battery, ( like a lot of us from the previous deal ) and need to reach out to Dell Support and request a replacement..
When I got mine, and checked the battery health ( see above posted thread's WIKI ) .. here is what I found:
Full Charge Capacity ( powershell ) 32,931 mWh
Design Capacity 60,002 mWh
Contacted Dell support with that info, and they ordered me a replacement battery that I received thru Fedex in about a week or less ( can't recall )
I did not have to return the old battery ( no instructions or email indicating a process to do so ) so I still have it lol..
The replacement wasn't brand new, and had ~ 6 % wear which is miles better than the original!

Be advised that part of the downside to the limited options is going to include little to no support, so none of the easy software tools you might associated with a retail Samsung device (for example).
Good luck!

I don't see any finger print reader on my 7390 Touch (not the 2 in 1). Can someone who order and receive one confirm if they are missing the fingerprint reader too?

If it's not too late, i recommend you return your 7390 back to dell and look on ebay for the 5300 series. They have two sodimm slots instead of just one in the 7390, allowing for much better ram upgrade options. It is also much easier to retrofit a fingerprint reader on the 5300 as the fingerprint reader is part of an easily replaceable power button. you do need the USH controlvault module also. The 5300 fingerprint reader button is $6. the USH module is about $10.
Had i knew about the 5300 before, i would NOT get the 7390 at all!!! Now i am trying to get rid of the three 7390 laptops i got at a small loss. I might even get rid of the 7390 2in1 also.... the 5300 2in1 are so much better because they also have the two sodimm slots!
5300 and even 5310 can be had for less than $240 on ebay!
