DELL Latitude 5590 i7-8650U 16GB 256GB+1TB 14.0" laptop

Ready for mobile professionals

The Dell Latitude 5590 is a 14.0" business laptop built around an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8650U quad-core processor with 16 GB DDR4 memory. Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed on a dual-drive layout: a 256 GB M.2 SSD for the operating system and a 1 TB secondary SSD for data. The 1920 x 1080 IPS panel provides a non-touch Full HD workspace in a black chassis.

Step up from dual-core or 8 GB systems

Users moving from a dual-core ultrabook or a machine limited to 8 GB RAM will notice the jump to four cores, eight threads and 16 GB memory when running multiple business applications, virtual machines or large spreadsheets. The combination of a fast primary SSD and a spacious secondary SSD removes the usual storage compromise without needing external drives. Buyers who want more storage than 1 TB or a discrete graphics card should look elsewhere.

Straightforward SSD and memory access

The chassis allows access to the M.2 slot and the 2.5" drive bay after removing the base cover, so storage upgrades can be done with a small Phillips screwdriver. Memory slots are also reachable once the cover is off, though the 16 GB configuration already fills two slots. A common issue is forgetting to disable the internal battery in the BIOS before opening the case, which can cause a short. Ensure the correct M.2 keying matches the replacement drive.
