Certifications

ENERGY STARiExplicit certification status for the model or defined configuration scope. Absence from a search result is not proof of false.

Yes5Certification listdata.energystar.gov/resource/rxdj-2c88.jsonRead 15 October 2026ENERGY STAR Certified Computers record for Dell model number EC27250 (model name W28C), certified 2025-07-10, markets United States, Japan, Canada, Taiwan and Switzerland. The record names a Core 7 150U, Windows 11 Pro configuration (TEC 57.5 kWh, date available on market 2026-01-15), so TEC and that date are not used for the Core 5 120U configuration. The record certifies the model number EC27250.

EPEATiPublished registration level. Missing registration evidence is not proof of none.

This US reference retains that model-level regional registration. The carbon-footprint text and tables name two-port 256 GB, while endnote 10 says two-port 512 GB. No lifecycle emissions or exact-configuration power figures are stored from the conflicting carbon-model scope. Maker power tables are not reviewer measurements.
