Dell Latitude 7490 — 14" business ultrabook with touchscreen
A 14-inch Latitude 7490 with a Full HD touchscreen, quad-core Core i5, 16GB of memory and a 256GB SSD. Tested and graded in Melbourne and supplied with a 12-month warranty.
Key benefits
-
Full HD touchscreen — the 14" 1920x1080 panel is touch-enabled, so signing, scrolling and marking up documents works without reaching for the mouse.
-
16GB of memory — enough headroom to keep Teams, Outlook and a browser full of tabs open without the machine slowing down.
-
Quad-core Core i5-8350U — four cores with vPro support, comfortable for video calls and large spreadsheets alike.
-
256GB solid-state drive — boots Windows 11 Pro in seconds and keeps file access quick.
-
Business-grade chassis — the Latitude 7000 series is built for daily commuting, not occasional use.
-
Windows 11 Pro installed — domain-join, BitLocker and Group Policy available out of the box.
Performance in use
The Latitude 7490 sits in the sweet spot for office and hybrid work. The quad-core i5-8350U handles a full working day of email, documents, spreadsheets and video calls without fuss, and the 16GB of memory means you are not closing applications to open others.
The touchscreen earns its place in meetings and on site. Scrolling through a long document, signing a PDF or annotating a drawing is faster by hand than by trackpad, and the screen folds back far enough to use comfortably on a desk or a lap.
At 14 inches this is a genuinely portable machine that still gives you a usable screen. If you move between home, an office and client sites, it is easier to live with than a 15-inch laptop and far more practical than a 13-inch one.
