Dell Latitude 7000 Series 2-in-1 7285: 12.3" 3:2 slim bezels + wireless charging

Mines did not come with a keyboard or pen and probably not meant to be but it's definitely featherweight and I like the form factor better, more 3:2 than 16:9. The Windows Hello feature is pretty cool, you can use face recognition to log in. I also picked up a pen but I've come to find out that it also works with the Huawei matebook stylus which I have and still prefer. I like the Huawei tip better and you can charge it with USB and it lasts a long time per charge. The new Dell pen is ok, better than the previous generation as far as feel. Only thing I'm missing now is a good case which is no where to be found besides just a general 12" case.

 

Mine arrived without the pen, keyboard, or adapter. Called to complain, due to them being advertised, and they issued a $75 credit. Homage to a customer and partner since 2004. Such is the world, right? I do like the tablet and use it for everything. Looking for a good adapter to go with the usb c ports, which are the only ports on the tablet. Thanks for any guidance on this.

 

I have this one
Dell Adapter - USB-C to HDMI/VGA/Ethernet/USB 3.0 DA200

 

I bought the Cable Matters one off Amazon because it supports 4k and one of the places I present has a 4k tv and I need all the help I can get.

 

Nice still can't believe there's not one case for it. There are generic sleeves but since I use it as a tablet more often than not, just want to get a case specifically meant for it that allows it to stand. Pretty much every tablet I've owned, whether Dell, HP, Microsoft, etc, someone eventually designs a case specifically for it, so far nothing for Dell 7285.

 

I own the 7285 and I really like. I am looking for a folio case as well. I use the tablet in a hospital and want to ensure that the tablet is safe. Does anyone know if a folio type case is going to be made by Dell or someone else. I cannot fin d any information about this. I tried to contact Dell and they were not helpful at all. Thanks

 

Nothing after all this time, nothing from Dell or 3rd party. Also I like the pen model PN557W , but it just disconnects too darn often. Otherwise nice response and feel, and I like how it magnetically attaches to the tablet. But it will disconnect 2 or 3 times during a writing session which might be 1/2 of use for me.

 

Looking for an upgrade from my Elite X2 1012 G1 and this looks interesting. Main complaint ice seen is about battery life and heat, any feedback on that? Also started liking into cases and found a generic one on amazon.

I haven't used mine too much because I'm waiting for a decent case and want to keep it in tip top shape but I don't have issues with heating and I'd say max I've used it without being plugged is around 3 1/2 hrs with 60% remaining. I tend to stay away from generic cases since they tend to add a lot of unnecessary bulk and weight and not very pleasing to the eye. I wish they could just come up with the same style folio as the Dell 7275 which would be perfectly fine, seems nothing in the works at all. Otherwise lightweight tablet and performs well. The pen is nice but disconnects quite a bit and you have to remove the battery and reinsert to get it going, which can be annoying. But other wacom pens will work on it.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I've actually just purchased one as my Elite X2's screen stopped working with touch input and now only works with the pen or keyboard. I have a feeling there wont be much in the way of additional accessories as there was no mention of the 7285 at CES recently that I saw, all the videos showing the new 2018 lineup did not feature the 7285 or a successor. So a generic case might be all we can get.
