DELL Latitude 5490 laptop i5-8350U 16GB 1TB NVMe 14 1080p

Business laptop with 16 GB DDR4

The Dell Latitude 5490 is a 14-inch business laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-8350U quad-core processor running at 1.7 GHz. It comes with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 1 TB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD for fast storage access. The 1920 x 1080 Full HD non-touch display provides clear visuals for office tasks. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed for professional environments.

15 W processor with integrated graphics

The i5-8350U operates at a 15 W thermal design power, using Intel UHD Graphics 620 for video output. This low-power design helps extend battery runtime during typical office workloads such as document editing and web browsing. The fanless or low-noise cooling solution keeps acoustic output minimal in quiet rooms. Three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, VGA and a USB-C DisplayPort handle peripheral connectivity without added power draw.

Sustained workloads on quad-core U-series

Under continuous multi-threaded load the 15 W envelope limits clock speeds, so extended compiles or large spreadsheet recalculations run slower than short bursts. The integrated UHD 620 shares system memory, reducing bandwidth for heavy GPU tasks. Thermal throttling may appear during prolonged video encoding or virtualisation workloads. Buyers who need higher sustained CPU performance or discrete graphics should consider other form factors.
