At KSh 23,000, the Dell Latitude 5270 answers a specific problem: professionals who need a real commercial machine, not a plastic entry laptop that starts stuttering after six months. University of Nairobi and Strathmore students writing dissertations, CPAs handling KRA iTax submissions and Sage entries, NGO field officers moving between Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kisumu, and shop owners running QuickBooks all get the same thing here  Dell's business-grade build at a price that leaves money for data and software. The Dell Latitude 5270 slides into a standard backpack sleeve without the bulk of a 15-inch machine.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who sell used laptops with no condition disclosure, Mascom International states plainly what this is: a used Dell Latitude 5270, tested before handover, backed by a 6-month warranty. Users consistently report that the keyboard and the 47Wh battery outlast far newer budget machines in daily Nairobi use. At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady demand for 12.5-inch commercial laptops from buyers who tried cheap new alternatives first and came back. Visit our Kimathi Street shop to type on the Dell Latitude 5270 and inspect the screen yourself before paying.

Everyday office work, comfortably. The Intel Core i7-6600U with 8GB DDR4 and a 256GB SSD runs Windows, Microsoft 365, 25 to 30 Chrome tabs, Zoom calls, QuickBooks, and Sage without stalling. Boot to desktop takes roughly 15 seconds. It is not a video-editing or gaming machine  Intel HD Graphics 520 handles 1080p playback and light photo retouching, not 4K timelines or current game titles. Match the machine to the workload and it holds up for years.

It is used, not refurbished, and Mascom International does not blur the two. Refurbished means components were replaced and the unit was re-certified by a vendor or the manufacturer. This Dell Latitude 5270 is a carefully maintained import in clean used condition: original components, tested working, with the normal light cosmetic marks of office use abroad. It was never deployed locally in Kenya. You inspect the exact unit on Kimathi Street before paying, and it carries a 6-month warranty.

Expect roughly 4 to 6 hours of mixed office use on the 47Wh three-cell battery, depending on cell health. Dell also shipped a 62Wh four-cell option that pushes runtime closer to 7 hours. Every battery in a used machine carries charge cycles, so Mascom International reports the measured health figure for the actual unit before you buy. Replacement 62Wh packs are stocked locally if you need longer runtime away from Kenya Power.

Not officially. The sixth-generation i7-6600U is not on Microsoft's supported processor list for Windows 11, so this machine ships with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. Microsoft ended standard Windows 10 support in October 2025, but free consumer Extended Security Updates now run through October 2027 once you enroll with a Microsoft account. Many Kenyan buyers instead install Ubuntu or Linux Mint, which run well on this hardware. Our team configures whichever you prefer at handover.

Yes, both. Two DDR4 SODIMM slots accept up to 16GB total, so the fitted 8GB module can be joined by a second 8GB stick. Storage uses either an M.2 slot, in SATA or PCIe NVMe form depending on board revision, or a 2.5-inch SATA bay  so 512GB and 1TB moves are straightforward. The bottom cover releases with a few screws. Mascom International performs the upgrade in-store and clones your data across.

Same laptop, two badges. Dell launched this model in 2016 and printed E5270 on the service tag and its support pages, while sellers across Kenya commonly shorten the name to 5270. If a driver download, battery listing, or spec sheet says E5270, it matches this unit exactly. Mascom International checks the service tag on every import against Dell's own support database, so the configuration you are quoted is the configuration you collect.

All three are 12.5-inch Skylake commercial machines from the same period, and around KSh 23,000 they trade blows. The ThinkPad X260 wins on keyboard feel and offers a hot-swappable second battery. The EliteBook 820 G3 is marginally slimmer. The Dell Latitude 5270 counters with a VGA port that still matters for older Kenyan boardroom projectors, a for spreadsheets and accounting work?

For long spreadsheet sessions, plan on an external monitor. The standard panel is 1366 x 768 with an anti-glare finish, which shows fewer rows than a 1080p screen  fine for email, browsing, and document work, tight for wide Excel models. Dell also built a 1920 x 1080 touch versionve  with Corning Gorilla Glass NBT. Ask Mascom International which panel the unit in stock carries, since both circulate in the import market.ull-size SD card reader, and spare parts that are easier and cheaper to source locally.

Three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, an SD card reader, and a combo audio jack  no dongles required. VGA still connects the projectors sitting in most Kenyan school halls, church AV rooms, and county government boardrooms. The RJ-45 port plugs straight into Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, and JTL Faiba routers when Wi-Fi is congested. Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 with Bluetooth 4.2 covers wireless duty across 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

Three ways to order:

Every unit comes with the 6-month Mascom warranty stated above, plus a free memory and storage consultation if you plan to upgrade down the line.
