The Dell Latitude 5490 is built for people who want reliability, speed and a machine that simply gets things done without fuss. This is a business-class laptop through and through, with a strong chassis, smart design and the kind of long-term durability that Latitudes are known for. Whether you’re typing up documents, running multiple browser tabs or working between spreadsheets, it stays quick, stable and responsive thanks to its Intel Core i5-8300U processor and generous 16GB of DDR4 memory.
The Intel Core i5-8300U gives you plenty of power for everyday work and heavier multitasking. It runs smoothly even with dozens of tabs open, video calls running and apps switching in and out. Paired with a fast 512GB SSD, the 5490 boots in seconds, loads programmes instantly and gives you more than enough storage for documents, photos and large project files. Everything feels snappy, and you avoid the lag you often get with older or low-end machines.
The 14 inch HD display provides a comfortable working space without adding bulk, making it ideal for carrying between rooms or slipping into a backpack. Latitudes have a reputation for their solid-feeling keyboards, and this model keeps that standard, complete with a backlit keyboard for working comfortably in low-light conditions. The built-in fingerprint reader adds convenient, fast sign-in so you can get straight back to your work.
Connectivity is excellent. The Latitude 5490 is fitted with HDMI, VGA, USB-C, DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet, USB ports and an SD card slot. You will not need adapters to plug into external displays, older projectors or wired networks. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a built-in webcam keep you connected for calls and meetings.
Dell’s business laptops are engineered for long life, consistent performance and daily use. The Latitude 5490 continues that tradition with a tough outer shell, smooth hinges and a layout designed to stay comfortable even after hours of use. Refurbished to a high standard, it arrives clean, set up and ready to go with Windows 11 installed.
If you want a dependable machine that can keep pace with busy workdays, handle multitasking with ease and stand up to real-world use, the Dell Latitude 5490 offers excellent value.
