Performance
At the heart of the Latitude 7490 is the Intel Core i5-8350U, a quad-core, eight-thread 8th-generation processor with Intel vPro management. It comfortably powers the applications that businesses rely on every day — Microsoft 365, multiple browsers, video conferencing, accounting and CRM software — while sipping power to preserve battery life. With 16GB of RAM on board, you can push far beyond the basics and keep heavy multitasking sessions smooth and responsive, switching between projects without the constant reshuffling that a smaller memory pool forces on you. That headroom also keeps the machine feeling fast for years to come as software becomes more demanding.
The 256GB solid-state drive transforms the day-to-day experience. Windows 11 Pro boots in seconds, large files open without lag, applications launch instantly, and everything simply feels faster than a traditional hard drive. Because there are no moving parts, the SSD is also quieter, cooler, more power-efficient and far more resistant to the knocks and bumps of life on the road. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the crisp Full HD touch panel and supports external monitors, so you can build a full desktop-style workspace when you are back at your desk.
Where this machine truly stands apart is connectivity. Alongside dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the integrated 4G LTE WWAN module means you can drop in a data SIM and stay connected in the car, on site, at a client’s office or anywhere Wi-Fi is unavailable or untrusted — a genuine productivity advantage for mobile professionals. There is no need to tether to a phone, carry a separate hotspot or rely on public Wi-Fi that may be slow or insecure. For remote and hybrid teams, that always-on connection can be the difference between finishing a job on site and having to head back to the office.
Build quality is classic Dell Latitude. The slim, lightweight magnesium-alloy chassis is engineered to survive daily commuting, and the machine carries the business-grade security and manageability features IT departments expect — Intel vPro remote management, a TPM security chip and optional fingerprint and smart-card sign-in. That makes it just as comfortable as a fleet device for an organisation as it is a dependable personal workhorse.
Ergonomics round out the package. The spill-resistant backlit keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions and lets you keep working in dimly lit rooms or on evening flights, while the precision trackpad and responsive touchscreen give you flexible ways to navigate Windows 11 Pro. A generous port selection — USB-C, full-size USB 3.1, HDMI and microSD — means you can connect monitors, projectors, docks and accessories without a bag full of adapters.
