DELL Latitude 7490 laptop i7-8650U 16GB 256GB 14 FHD

Travel-ready 14-inch workstation

The Dell Latitude 7490 is a 14.0-inch business laptop built around an Intel Core i7-8650U quad-core processor running at 1.9 GHz with Turbo up to 4.2 GHz. It ships with Windows 11 Pro, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB M.2 NVMe PCIe solid-state drive. The non-touch FHD panel delivers 1920 x 1080 resolution with LED backlighting. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles everyday visuals using shared system memory.

16 GB memory and 256 GB NVMe headroom

Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 gives comfortable headroom for typical office suites, browser-heavy research and light virtualisation workloads. The 256 GB NVMe drive provides fast boot and application launch speeds but will fill quickly with large media libraries or multiple virtual-machine images. Users who keep extensive local datasets or run several heavy containers simultaneously will need external or cloud storage to avoid running out of space.

Thermals, noise and power in daily use

The ultra-low-power i7-8650U and integrated graphics keep heat output modest during document editing, video calls and web browsing, so fan noise stays low in quiet rooms. Sustained multi-core loads such as large compiles or batch photo exports will spin the fan up noticeably but rarely reach uncomfortable surface temperatures. The included charger supplies sufficient power for the CPU, display and Thunderbolt 3 peripherals without drawing excessive current from the wall.
