Product Information

This laptop has a built-in Bluetooth module. It enables you to connect the computer to Bluetooth mice and other Bluetooth peripherals, smartphones, and other Bluetooth-equipped devices. The Waves MaxxAudio Pro audio utility allows you to adjust bass and other settings, but I couldn't right the wrongs of the Latitude's sound, no matter how many tweaks I made. and greater RAM sizes are recommended for heavy multitasking, gaming, and specialized programs that require a lot of RAM. The Dell Latitude 5490's speed, longevity and typing experience combine for an excellent laptop, complete with a zippy SSD and better gaming performance than we expect from a business notebook. But the system is ultimately hampered by high temperatures and subpar screen and speakers that dampen video and distort audio. SmartCard readers are used for reading data from ID cards, digital certificate cards, and similar. On this laptop it is an optional feature.

HDMI is a widely used digital video output port. You can find HDMI-in ports on most computer monitors and TVs. VGA is an old analog type of video connectivity used on older computers, monitors, TVs, and projectors. The laptop has a slot for full-size SD memory cards, used in many digital cameras. You can also use microSD cards with a card adapter. It irks us that Dell is still placating people who use VGA screens, but those living in the 21st Century can connect via HDMI or use DisplayPort over the USB Type-C port.

How much protection that offers is difficult to predict, but anything is better than a broken notebook that you can’t power, charge, or can only network using Wi-Fi. Opening up the 5490 also allows the RAM to be upgraded to 32GB, filling both memory slots provided, having first removed the single pre-installed 8GB module. Another oddity is that the machine has a SIM card slot, for those wishing to go online via cellular technology. But inserting a SIM won’t provide this, as you must buy and install an additional WWAN module to enable this functionality. The highest specification models have this port upgraded to Thunderbolt 3, but not on the reviewed hardware spec. But where the specifications go entirely awry is in the storage department, where Dell confusingly used an M.2 drive that offers no practical advantage over a SATA-connected SSD. is a small RAM size for computing in 2023.
