About this deal

The 269-nit ThinkPad T480 and the 278-nit EliteBook 1040 G4 are similarly bright, while the 458-nit MateBook X Pro is far brighter.

Dell Latitude 7490 review | TechRadar Dell Latitude 7490 review | TechRadar

Today’s Latitude not only dials back the CPU (as discussed above), but it also downgrades the RAM configuration to single-channel—which does in fact affect the performance of integrated graphics.What substantially helps this model is the 60WHr battery with a whopping 7500mAh, at least 20% more capacity than most competitive products offer. Unsurprisingly, we found our test unit to be overall excellent (in keeping with the trends of its forebears). inch touchpad, which is sandwiched by pairs of left and right mouse buttons, offered accurate tracking as I navigated the desktop. With 27-inch Quad HD displays you'll see extremely sharp images across an expansive ultrawide viewing angle. We recorded a battery runtime of 9 hours and 8 minutes in our standardized web surfing benchmark, which is slightly above competitors like the ThinkPad T480s and X1 Carbon, and well above the HP EliteBook 840 G5’s 7 hours and 27 minutes.

Since today’s unit trades the Thunderbolt port for a traditional USB Type-C/DisplayPort instead, Thunderbolt docks (such as the Dell TB16) won’t work.

Business machines are more focused on security than consumer notebooks, and the Dell Latitude 7490 is well endowed to keep its contents safe.

A nice touch is that the plastic base panel retains the screws, so you can’t misplace them once the cover is taken off. Using the PCMark08 Work test, we ran the machine at maximum speed for 7 hours 51 minutes, and configured for longevity, the laptop managed an impressive 10 hours 51 minutes. Plus, with over a decade’s worth of experience in working with sustainable materials, you can feel good about less environmental waste in product and packaging.If you don’t like the combinations on offer, some memory and storage enhancements are possible by the end user. As they share an identical Intel UHD Graphics 620 GPU, the results for anything graphical are almost the same. Predictably, storage speeds are well below those of the previous 7490, since this machine steps down to a Toshiba M. Opt for the magnesium alloy or carbon fiber finishes for a clean, seamless exterior with superior structural performance. We saw higher scores of 116,359 from the MateBook X Pro (Nvidia MX150 with 2GB of memory) and 132,991 from the ThinkPad T480 (Intel HD Graphics 620).

Dell Command Power Manager switches from standard energy-management rules to those that optimize battery life for long-term usage, or cool or quiet conditions, so its fans and heat don't distract. The Dell Latitude 7490's got the speed you need (and then some), a keyboard that's comfortable enough for writing all day long and a battery that supports a full 8-hour workday. Along with Lenovo’s ThinkPads and HP’s EliteBooks, the Latitudes stand head and shoulders above the rest of the business competition. Those are good numbers for a portable device, even if they’re not high enough for professional color work.

The Latitude 7490’s integrated microSD card reader manages reasonable speeds—ahead of the ThinkPad T480s and not far from the Latitude 7390, but well below the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which leads the field. Another strong point is the AU Optronics 14-inch IPS panel that’s a decent brightness and has a healthy color gamut. The Dell Latitude 7490 we tested features an 8th Gen Core i7-8650U processor, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB NVMe M. The CPU-related tasks all hit great numbers, and not far from what the Core i7-8550U-based machines are capable of. As a replacement for the previous 7480 models, the new 7490 looks much the same from the outside, but has had a complete overhaul internally.
