Archive.org versionIf you need a VGA output to connect to an older monitor or conference-room display, the Dell Latitude 3490 is worth a look. It's also a good choice if you plan to leave it plugged into one of these displays most of the time, since you can outfit it with a powerful CPU and 16GB of memory while stripping away other nonessentials to keep the price below $1,000. Otherwise, for a more well-rounded SMB laptop, you should consider the Editors' Choice Lenovo ThinkPad 13 or a consumer ultraportable like the Dell XPS 13.

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.

68.13%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
