Dell Latitude 7389 2-in-1 review

Latitude 7389 2-in-1: the executive convertible that lives on its carry profile

The Latitude 7389 2-in-1 is Dell's business convertible from the 7000-series, and its record is a study in what a premium executive machine looks like when the graphics column was never the point. For a used-market buyer it offers the carry comfort of the flagship line with a performance sheet that has almost nothing measured on it.

Where it holds up

Mobility is the headline strength: a reading of 87 against a convertible-class median of 68, a 27.9 percent gap that puts this machine in the top quarter of its category. Portability backs the story at 76.9, a high-band figure, so the 2-in-1 form named in the title comes with the carry numbers to justify it. This is the machine for someone whose workday is measured in meeting rooms and transit time rather than compile times.

The 2-in-1 badge in the record name is the second half of the pitch: a hinge-led form for presentation and sofa duty, paired with top-quarter mobility numbers that many larger convertibles in this batch cannot match.

Where it falls short

Overall performance reads zero — an empty reading rather than a measured result, with no performance entry recorded for this configuration. Graphics likewise reads zero, a coverage gap rather than a measured zero, since no scoring entry exists for the integrated graphics this class carries. Every task axis sits on the low-band floor constants (gaming 19, modeling 12, engineering CAD 19, photo work 13), readings shared by nearly every legacy record in this batch. The composite score of 3 against a category median of 46 rounds out a sheet where the class clearly outruns the data.

In practice: documents, mail and browser sessions are the workload; anything compute- or graphics-heavy is out of scope for this record.

Price and depreciation

No listing price is recorded for this configuration and no depreciation curve is modeled — there is no resale math to quote and no dollar projection to weigh.

Alternatives to consider

Within this batch the closest stablemates are the 9410 2-in-1 (mobility 82, portability 72.5) and the 9510 2-in-1 and 9520 2-in-1, which trade some mobility for bigger full-size footprints with portability down at 60. The standard-form 9420 hits mobility 86 with portability 75.2 if the convertible hinge is negotiable. Buyers prioritizing the battery over the hinge could look at the 9510, whose 52 Wh pack is its own record's headline.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class, the Latitude 7389 2-in-1 is a carry-first executive convertible: top-quarter mobility and high-band portability, with performance and graphics explicitly absent from the sheet and every heavy workload out of the picture.
