This configuration pairs an 8th-generation Intel Core i5-8350U quad-core vPro processor with 8GB of RAM, a fast 256GB SSD, a Full HD touch display, integrated 4G LTE mobile broadband and a SmartCard reader — all running Windows 11 Pro and backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Performance In Use
For everyday office work, the Latitude 7490 handles the full Microsoft 365 suite, dozens of browser tabs, email and Teams or Zoom calls without breaking stride. The quad-core i5-8350U turbos up to a brisk clock speed under load, so switching between a large spreadsheet, a PDF and a video meeting stays smooth rather than sluggish. The SSD keeps Windows 11 Pro feeling immediate from the moment you lift the lid.
Mobile and hybrid workers get the most from this configuration. With built-in 4G LTE you can drop a SIM in and stay connected in a client's office, on a train or at a café without tethering to a phone. The touchscreen makes it natural to sign documents, annotate presentations or scroll through long reports, and the SmartCard reader keeps corporate logins fast and compliant when you're away from the desk.
As a student or home-office machine, the 7490 is a capable all-rounder for research, writing, coding, light photo editing and streaming. It isn't built for demanding 3D gaming or heavy GPU rendering — there's no discrete graphics card — but for the productivity, study and communication tasks most people run all day, it strikes an excellent balance of speed, battery life and portability.
