The laptop is powered by Intel Core i5-7Y54 processor and comes in four variants on the basis of memory and Solid State Storage. For the variant with 8 GB RAM, one can choose between a solid storage of 128 GB and 256 GB. The 16 GB RAM comes with a solid storage of 128 GB.

The wireless charging of Dell Latitude 7285 is similar to the inductive charging which is present in smartphones like Galaxy S8. The laptop can be charged by placing it on the wireless charging mat that comes along with it.

The wireless charging mat can be bought by the users by paying an amount of $200 and also, the wireless charging keyboard will cost the users additional $380. Hence, an additional amount of $580 has to be spent to get the complete package of the laptop. If all the items are bought together in a package the users will get a discount of $30.
