Genuine 2-in-1 Flexibility with Active Pen Support
The 360-degree hinge on the Latitude 5289 lets it fold all the way back into laptop, tent, stand or tablet mode, so you can switch quickly between typing at a desk and presenting or note-taking on the move. The touchscreen supports active pen input, making it easy to sign a document, sketch a diagram or annotate a PDF directly on screen. This flexibility makes it a genuinely useful all-rounder for anyone who moves between meetings, desks and informal working spaces throughout the day.
7th Gen Core i5 for Everyday Business Computing
The Intel Core i5-7300U is a genuine vPro-capable processor with a turbo speed up to 3.5GHz, giving the Latitude 5289 solid everyday performance for browsing, email, video calls and office applications. Paired with 8GB of RAM, it comfortably handles typical multitasking without slowing down, and the SSD storage ensures fast boot times and quick application launches compared with the mechanical hard drives still found in some laptops of this era. Choose 128GB if you mainly work from cloud storage and email, or 256GB for a larger local library of documents and applications.
Dell Business Reliability in a Compact Chassis
The Latitude 5289 brings dependable Dell business build quality to a compact 12.5-inch convertible chassis, with a comfortable keyboard and precise touchpad for accurate everyday use. USB-C docking support means it connects easily to a docking station for a full desktop setup at the office, while the ExpressCharge-capable battery gets you back up to a useful charge quickly between meetings. This combination of portability and business-grade reliability makes it a sensible choice for professionals who need a convertible without compromising on dependability.
Who Is This For?
The refurbished Dell Latitude 5289 is a practical choice for business users, remote workers and small-business buyers who want a genuinely portable convertible laptop with touchscreen and pen input alongside dependable Dell build quality. Its compact 12.5-inch chassis and 360-degree hinge suit anyone who regularly presents to clients or colleagues, takes handwritten notes in meetings, or simply wants the flexibility of a tablet mode without carrying a separate device. The choice of 128GB or 256GB storage lets buyers match the configuration to lighter or heavier everyday storage needs.
Not ideal for: gaming, video editing or other GPU-intensive work — the integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 is built for everyday productivity, not creative or graphics-heavy workloads. Buyers who need a built-in wired Ethernet port should note this model relies on the USB-C docking port or a USB adapter, and anyone who wants upgradeable RAM or more than 256GB of local storage should look elsewhere, since only these two capacities are offered on this configuration.
Typical Use Cases
This configuration suits business users who want a compact, genuinely portable convertible for client meetings, presentations and note-taking with active pen support, remote and hybrid workers who need a dependable everyday laptop that can fold flat for video calls, and small-business buyers who value Dell’s business-grade reliability and USB-C docking support in a flexible form factor. The choice of 128GB or 256GB storage suits everything from lighter cloud-based workflows through to buyers who want more local file space for documents and applications. It also suits anyone upgrading from an older laptop who wants touchscreen and tablet functionality without stepping up to a full 2-in-1 tablet-first device.
Refurbished vs New at This Price Point
Dell has moved on to newer Latitude 2-in-1 generations, and the Latitude 5289 is no longer sold new — there is no genuine current equivalent to compare directly. Why pay £££ for new? A current entry-level 2-in-1 business laptop with active pen support and USB-C docking costs substantially more than this certified refurbished unit. Buying refurbished from Technology Core gets you genuine Dell business build quality and convertible flexibility, tested and warrantied, at an accessible price in our Dell range.
