Dell Precision 5490 Review

 

Peppy performance for its size ; Long battery life ; Comfortable keyboard and touchpad ; Impressive speakers

Only Thunderbolt 4 ports ; RAM can’t be upgraded ; Just a 720p webcam ; Expensive

Dell’s pricey but powerful Precision 5490 mobile workstation packs impressive longevity and helpful enterprise features into a 14-inch chassis with comfy inputs.

Dell Latitude 5490

 

While the Dell Latitude 5490 may not turn heads with its design, this business laptop's wealth of connectivity and strong performance make it a great workday companion.

Powerful performance. Great selection of ports, including VGA and Ethernet.

Dull design. A tad heavy. Lackluster audio. Screen could be brighter.

Bottom Line: While the Dell Latitude 5490 may not turn heads with its design, this business laptop's wealth of connectivity and strong performance make it a great workday companion.

Dell Precision 5490 Review: Is This the Ideal Workstation for Professionals?

 

Looking to crush demanding tasks with a mobile workstation? We tested the Dell Precision 5490. It boasts a powerful processor and stunning display, but a few quirks might slow you down. Is it the right fit? Dive into our review to find out!

Exceptional performance for power users ; High-resolution QHD+ display with excellent color accuracy and brightness ; Robust build quality with a sleek design ; Good overall battery life ; Touchscreen works perfectly ; Great set of front-firing speakers

The 60Hz refresh rate is disappointing ; No USB-A port, relying on a dongle for essential peripherals ; Limited hinge flexibility ; It's quite heavy to carry

Dell Vostro 5490 review – a hodgepodge between an XPS and a ZenBook

 

Maybe you remember the Vostro 5590? We tried it out recently, and it was a heck of a deal! Great looks, good performance, and versatility – both at a good price. Well, nowhere is its smaller …

Minimal stylish looks;Nice performance/efficiency ratio + 25W GeForce MX250;Good battery life;Supports PCIe x4 SSDs;Good contrast ratio and comfortable viewing angles;Doesn’t use aggressive PWM to adjust its brightness;Wide upgradability options

We got some driver issues with the touchpad;Lacks Thunderbolt connection;Covers only 54% of sRGB;Gets warm on the outside while under pressure
