Dell's Precision 5490 presents an admirable blend of portability and workstation features. It won’t match the performance of larger workstations, but they can’t compete with this Precision’s portability or unplugged stamina. Its sharp screen, comfortable input devices, and stellar speakers make for a refined everyday, high-power work laptop. For a healthy dose of workstation goodness on the go, the Precision 5490 is sure to please, which earns it our Editors' Choice award for compact mobile workstations.

NVIDIA NVIDIA RTX 3000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU: A higher-end professional graphics card for use in laptops that sports 4,608 CUDA cores and 8 GB of ECC GDDR6 VRAM. It would be fair to say that this is a GeForce RTX 4070 (Laptop) in disguise. Brought into existence in 2023, the RTX 3000 leverages TSMC's 5 nm process and Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture to achieve very decent performance combined with moderate power consumption. This graphics card is fast enough to run many games at 1440p with quality set to High. The Nvidia-recommended TGP range is very wide at 35 W to 140 W leading to bizarre performance differences between different systems powered by what is supposed to be the same graphics card.

These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

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.
