Reliable Core i5 Performance in an Ultra-Portable Chassis

The Dell Latitude E7240 is powered by an Intel Core i5-4300U, a 4th generation processor offering solid everyday performance for office applications, web browsing, email and video calls, in one of Dell’s smallest and lightest business chassis. Paired with 8GB of DDR3L RAM across two SO-DIMM slots (upgradeable to 16GB total), it comfortably handles typical multitasking without slowing down. The switch to solid-state storage brings a genuine speed improvement over the mechanical hard drives originally fitted to this model — choose 128GB if you mainly work from cloud storage and email, or 256GB for a larger local library of documents and applications.

Business-Ready Connectivity in a Compact Chassis

The E7240 pairs its ultra-portable 12.5-inch design with a genuinely useful port selection, including Mini-DisplayPort for external monitor connections, two USB 3.0 ports (one with PowerShare for charging devices when the laptop is off) for fast file transfers, a dedicated Ethernet port for a stable wired connection, and an SD card reader. A dedicated docking connector supports Dell’s E-Series docking stations, making this a practical desktop replacement for office use. Built to Dell’s Latitude business standards, the E7240’s chassis is designed for everyday reliability for professionals who travel or move between meetings.

Who Is This For?

Yes — the refurbished Dell Latitude E7240 is a practical choice for professionals and frequent travellers who want the most compact business laptop possible without sacrificing genuine Dell durability, and anyone who values Mini-DisplayPort and Ethernet connectivity alongside a small, light chassis. The choice of 128GB or 256GB storage lets buyers match the configuration to lighter or heavier everyday storage needs.

Not ideal for: gaming or 3D design work. Want more power? See the Latitude E7240 i7.

Typical Use Cases

This configuration suits professionals who travel regularly and want the smallest practical business laptop, office workers who need a genuinely portable machine for meetings and hot-desking, and budget-conscious buyers who want genuine Dell ultrabook build quality at an accessible price. The choice of 128GB or 256GB storage suits everything from light browsing through to a larger local library of files and applications.

Refurbished vs New at This Price Point

Dell has moved on to newer Latitude generations, and the E7240 is no longer sold new — there is no genuine current equivalent to compare directly. Why pay £££ for new? A current entry-level Dell business ultrabook costs substantially more than this certified refurbished unit. Buying refurbished from Primo Technology gets you a genuine Dell Latitude, tested and warrantied, at one of the most accessible prices in our Dell range.
