Dell Latitude 7300 is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 25,000, configured with an 8th generation Intel Core i5-8265U quad-core processor, 8GB of DDR4 memory, and a 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe solid-state drive. This Dell Latitude 7300 is a carefully maintained international import in clean used condition, never deployed locally in Kenya before reaching our shelves. The 13.3-inch anti-glare screen, Thunderbolt 3 port, and travel weight of roughly 1.3kg sit inside a chassis Dell built for staff who carry a laptop every working day. Find the Dell Latitude 7300 at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
This machine is built for accountants preparing KRA submissions, lawyers moving between Milimani Law Courts and Upper Hill chambers, students at Strathmore, USIU, and the University of Nairobi, and NGO field staff on Turkana and Marsabit postings. At KSh 25,000, most new laptops on the Kenyan market carry a dual-core chip, 4GB of soldered memory, and slow eMMC storage that stalls the moment a spreadsheet and fifteen browser tabs open together. The Dell Latitude 7300 answers that gap with four physical processor cores, two upgradable memory slots, and NVMe storage that loads Windows in under 15 seconds.
Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International states the exact processor model, memory configuration, and drive interface before you pay, and every Dell Latitude 7300 is bench-tested at our Kimathi Street counter first. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us that ex-corporate Latitude machines outlast the plastic-bodied consumer laptops sold at similar money, largely because Dell designed this chassis for fleets that travel daily. Walk in Monday through Saturday to type on the keyboard and check the screen yourself, or order the Dell Latitude 7300 for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere across Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Dell Latitude 7300
Is the Dell Latitude 7300 worth KSh 25,000 in Kenya's used laptop market?
Yes. At KSh 25,000 you are buying business-class hardware rather than entry-level consumer hardware. The Dell Latitude 7300 carries a quad-core Intel Core i5-8265U, two upgradable memory slots, a PCIe NVMe drive, and a Thunderbolt 3 port a combination new machines at this money do not offer. Most new KSh 25,000 laptops ship with dual-core chips and soldered eMMC storage. Across a two-year working life, this Latitude costs roughly KSh 34 per day.
Is this a refurbished laptop, or what does used actually mean at Mascom International?
It is used, not refurbished. Every Dell Latitude 7300 we stock is a carefully maintained international import that arrives in clean used condition, with no parts replaced, no reconditioning work, and no cosmetic restoration. These units came out of overseas corporate fleets and were never deployed locally in Kenya. The machine has simply changed ownership. Our bench checks the keyboard, battery health, screen, ports, and drive condition before any unit reaches the shop floor.
Is the Intel Core i5-8265U still quick enough for daily office work?
For office workloads, yes. The i5-8265U runs four cores and eight threads at 1.6GHz base, lifting to 3.9GHz on turbo, with 6MB of cache. That covers Excel models, thirty Chrome tabs, Zoom calls, QuickBooks, and Sage without stalling. Where it struggles is 4K video editing, 3D rendering, and current gaming titles, because graphics come from integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620. For document, browser, and accounting work the chip still has headroom.
How long does the Dell Latitude 7300 battery last on a Nairobi workday?
Expect roughly 5 to 7 hours of mixed office use from the 4-cell 60Whr pack, and closer to 4 hours from the smaller 3-cell 42Whr option. Battery packs age with cycles, so we measure remaining capacity on every unit and state the figure before you pay. ExpressCharge refills about 80% in one hour with the machine switched off, which covers a lunch-break top-up between meetings in Westlands and Upper Hill.
Is 8GB of RAM enough, and can I add more memory later?
8GB of DDR4-2400 handles everyday office multitasking, and unlike most laptops at this price, this one is upgradable. The Dell Latitude 7300 uses two SoDIMM slots and accepts up to 32GB in total. Adding a second 8GB stick also switches memory to dual-channel operation, which lifts integrated graphics performance noticeably. Our Kimathi Street counter fits memory upgrades while you wait, so you can start at 8GB and grow later.
What can I actually store on the 256GB NVMe drive?
After Windows and Microsoft Office claim roughly 40GB, about 210GB stays free. That holds around 50,000 Word and Excel documents, or 25,000 photos from a 12MP phone camera, or roughly 40 hours of 1080p video. PCIe NVMe reads several times faster than the SATA drives common in older business laptops, which is why this Latitude loads Windows in under 15 seconds. The M.2 2280 slot accepts a larger drive later.
Can the Dell Latitude 7300 run Windows 11?
Yes. The Intel Core i5-8265U sits on Microsoft's supported processor list for Windows 11, and the machine includes the TPM 2.0 chip and UEFI Secure Boot that Windows 11 requires. This matters now that Windows 10 has reached the end of its free support period. Units reach Mascom International with a genuine Windows installation, and our Nairobi CBD team handles the upgrade path for you at no extra charge.
What ports does the Dell Latitude 7300 have, and is there an Ethernet socket?
There is no Ethernet socket Dell dropped it to keep this chassis thin. You get one USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 2 port with Thunderbolt 3, two USB Type-A 3.1 Gen 1 ports (one PowerShare capable for charging a phone), HDMI 1.4a, a microSD 4.0 card reader, a universal audio jack, and a Noble Wedge lock slot. A USB-C to Ethernet adapter covers wired office networks, and Mascom International stocks them.
How does the Dell Latitude 7300 compare to a brand new laptop at the same price?
A new KSh 25,000 laptop typically brings a dual-core Celeron or Athlon chip, 4GB of soldered memory, 64GB of eMMC storage, a 1366x768 screen, and a plastic body. The Dell Latitude 7300 counters with four cores, two memory slots, a 256GB NVMe drive, and a chassis Dell tested against 0.66 GRMS vibration and 140G shock. The honest trade-off is older silicon and a battery that has already seen service.
Technical Specifications
Processor Architecture and Real-World Speed
- 8th generation Intel Core i5-8265U runs four cores and eight threads for genuine multitasking, not just tab switching
- Base clock of 1.6GHz rises to 3.9GHz under turbo, giving quick bursts for spreadsheet recalculation and PDF rendering
- 6MB of processor cache keeps frequently used data close to the cores, cutting delays in large Excel workbooks
- 15W thermal design draws little power, so the fan stays quiet during client meetings and lecture halls
- Intel vPro management was offered on i5-8365U units; the i5-8265U covers the same daily workload without remote management
Memory Configuration and Upgrade Headroom
- 8GB of DDR4 memory running at 2400MHz handles Windows, Office, and around thirty browser tabs together
- Two SoDIMM slots accept a total of 32GB, a rarity at this price where memory is usually soldered
- Adding a second matched stick enables dual-channel mode, raising integrated graphics throughput for video calls and presentations
- Memory upgrades are fitted at our Kimathi Street counter, so the machine grows with your workload
- Single-stick 8GB shipping configuration leaves one slot completely free, keeping the upgrade cost low later
Storage Capacity and Drive Speed
- 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe solid-state drive loads Windows in under 15 seconds from a cold start
- NVMe over PCIe moves data several times faster than the SATA drives fitted to older business laptops
- Roughly 210GB stays usable after Windows and Office, enough for around 50,000 documents or 25,000 photos
- M.2 2280 slot accepts 512GB or 1TB replacements, so storage is never a permanent ceiling
- Self-encrypting Opal SED drives were a factory option on some units; drive type is confirmed per unit at purchase
Display Panel and Daily Visibility
- 13.3-inch anti-glare surface cuts reflections from overhead office lighting and Nairobi's midday sun through windows
- FHD 1920x1080 panels are rated at 300 nits, bright enough for cafés, boardrooms, and daylight-facing desks
- 60Hz refresh rate suits documents, video calls, and browsing rather than fast-motion gaming content
- Active display area of 293.76mm by 165.24mm fits a full spreadsheet row without constant horizontal scrolling
Graphics Output and External Screens
- Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 shares memory with the processor, covering office visuals and 1080p video playback
- HDMI 1.4a output drives an external monitor at up to 4096x2304, useful for boardroom projectors and desk screens
- Thunderbolt 3 over USB Type-C carries DisplayPort signal, so a single cable can run a docking station
- Integrated graphics suit Photoshop retouching and light Premiere work, but not 3D rendering or heavy video timelines
- Dual-channel memory upgrade lifts graphics performance measurably, since the graphics chip borrows system memory bandwidth
Battery Capacity and ExpressCharge Behaviour
- 4-cell 60Whr polymer pack was the common configuration, rated by Dell for 300 charge cycles
- ExpressCharge reaches about 80% capacity in one hour and full charge in two with the machine off
- 65W barrel-style adapter is compact enough to leave permanently in a laptop bag for upcountry travel
- Dell Power Manager offers four charging profiles, letting you cap charge levels to slow battery ageing
Build Quality, Ports, and Security Hardware
- Chassis measures 306.5mm wide by 206.96mm deep and 17.52mm thick at the rear hinge
- Weight of roughly 1.3kg keeps daily matatu and boda boda commutes across Nairobi manageable in a shoulder bag
- Ports include Thunderbolt 3 USB-C, two USB-A 3.1 Gen 1, HDMI 1.4a, microSD 4.0, and audio jack
- Discrete TPM 2.0 chip stores encryption keys in hardware for BitLocker and Windows Hello sign-in
- Optional fingerprint reader in the power button, SafeView camera shutter, SmartCard slot, and Noble Wedge lock cover physical security
- Tested to 140G shock and 0.66 GRMS vibration, with operation rated from 0°C to 40°C and 10% to 90% humidity
