Dell Inspiron 14 5490 review – two workdays on a single battery charge?
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
Dell Inspiron 14 5490’s display is equipped with an IPS panel (BOE NV14N4H-2X30K (BOE082E)) with Full HD resolution, decent contrast ratio, comfortable viewing angles, and adequate default settings. However, its backlight flickers at every brightness level, except for the maximum and its color coverage is pretty modest.

With that said, we cannot miss praising Dell for leaving at least one RAM SODIMM on the motherboard, as well as supporting PCIe x4 drives via their PCIe x4 slot. However, what gave us the biggest enjoyment was the battery life of this sucker. With its larger than average 51Wh battery pack, we were able to get more than 16 hours of Web browsing and around 15 hours and a half of video playback. This is a huge improvement over its predecessor, despite the latter got pretty decent results, as well.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
