The Dell Latitude is a solid business laptop with good battery life and strong all-round performance. It's tough enough to travel well, if a little on the heavy side. ...

Wir sind wieder einmal durchweg beeindruckt von einem Gerät aus der Dell-Latitude-7000er-Reihe. Das getestete Latitude 7490 zu einem Preis von $1.709 sollte von jedem Interessenten in Betracht gezogen werden, der ein Premium-Business-Notebook sucht.

Dell has taken the clean lines of the 7480 series, injected some go-faster silicon, and given this laptop a price tag that most business users will find hard to resist.

Once again, we come away from a Dell Latitude 7000 series machine thoroughly impressed. Today’s $1,709 Latitude 7490 absolutely deserves consideration by anyone in the market for a premium business laptop.

We will be frank: if you already own a Latitude 7480, you can overlook the 7490. The additional CPU performance will only be seen in processor-intensive tasks; unless your workflow includes heavy spreadsheet use or other CPU-heavy work, the processor upgrade isn't worth the cost of a new machine.
