Reviews for the Dell Latitude 5490
Faster, yet dimmer… Today’s Core i7-8650U and NVMe SSD Latitude 5490 configuration offers even faster performance than before—but it doesn’t come without its drawbacks. We’ll navigate the situation with expertise and care in our full review.

The Dell Precision 5490 is a potent yet compact workstation. The cooling solution does its job well. In our case, the optional Core Ultra 7 165H can sustain impressive frequencies in short loads for a 14-incher – around 3.59 GHz / 2.73 GHz for the P and E cores. In longer stress, the P-core clock reaches ~2.80 Ghz which is still a good result. The SSD (1TB SK Hynix PC811) is fast and it doesn’t get hot at all. Its max temperature under benchmarking is just 51°C! The 1200p IPS display (AUO J83VF-B140UAN (AUOF99A)) amazes us with its 100% sRGB coverage, lack of PWM usage, and very good color accuracy when our “Design and Gaming” profile is applied (average dE 1.2). The max brightness of 466 cd/m2 is high and the contrast ratio is very good – 1860:1.

This laptop is an accomplished all-rounder that delivers all the features that business users want at an affordable price. Sadly, there isn’t enough free drive space on this model, but Dell sells plenty of other versions that address this issue.

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.
