Design

The plain and simple look of the Latitude 7490 does little for us beyond saying, “Dude, you’ve gotten a Dell.” The magnesium alloy exterior feels durable, the keyboard deck is coated in soft-touch paint and it has a woven carbon-fiber lid, which offers a grainy texture that makes the laptop feel more substantial.

Processor

The DELL LATITUDE 14 7490 is equipped with Intel Core i5-8350U is a power efficient quad-core SoC for notebooks and Ultrabooks based on the Kaby Lake Refresh generation and was announced in August 2017. Contrary to its direct predecessor the Core i5-7300U, which were still dual-cores, the i7-8350U is equipped with four cores but at a lower base frequency of 1.7 GHz. The Turbo Boost can go up to 3,6 GHz and therefore also offer good short term single core speeds. The GPU is now named Intel UHD Graphics 620 but otherwise identical to the Intel HD Graphics 620. The integrated memory controller supports DDR4-2400 / LPDDR3-2133 and dual channel memory.

Display

The Latitude 7490 could stand to be brighter; it produced up to 277 nits, which falls below the 300-nit category average. 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. While the Latitude 7490’s matte screen helps reduce glare, the panel isn’t bright enough for its colors to not invert when viewed at 30 degrees to the left and right.

Bottom Line

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. If only the display were brighter and it managed heat better.
