Genuine Dell Latitude 5280, 5290, 5480, 5490, 5495, 5580, 5590 3-Cell 42Wh Battery 45N3J 3VC9Y 3DDDG 451-BBZP

Product Information

Matched against a variety of other tablets, the Latitude tied the only other "Kaby Lake R" contender, the Editors' Choice Lenovo Miix 520 , with identical scores of 3,436 in our PCMark 8 productivity benchmark, well above the 3,000 that we consider excellent for office apps. The two quad-cores also finished in a dead heat in our Cinebench CPU measurement and Handbrake video-editing exercise, comfortably ahead of the dual-core Surface Pro and HP Spectre x2. The Dell and Surface Pro tied for honors in our Adobe Photoshop image-editing workload. The Latitude’s claim to hardware fame is its 8th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, which helped it achieve excellent scores in our benchmark tests as you’ll see shortly. Less exciting is its 8GB of DDR3 memory – that’s only just enough RAM to keep the Latitude from hiccupping during heavy, multi-tab, multi-program usage.

Both portable and powerful, the Dell Latitude 5290 is a well appointed convertible that will hold any mobile worker in good stead though minor niggles in ergonomics means it falls short of greatness Estimated valueis Dell’s estimate of product value based on industry data, including the prices at which third-party retailers have offered or valued the same or comparable products, in its most recent survey of major online and/or off-line retailers. Third-party retailer data may not be based on actual sales. The 12.3-inch HD ( 1,920-by-1,280) screen is one of the Latitude 5290 2-in-1's best features. It's impressively bright, with rich, vivid colors and wide viewing angles. Contrast is high and details, at least details of 1080p content, look crystal clear. This is a great tablet for both Microsoft Office or Google Docs productivity work and Netflix or YouTube after hours. Installing the batteries and reassembling the Active Pen is difficult, but rewards you with 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity—half as many as the Surface Pen, but still plenty for artists and designers—and swift, responsive writing and drawing as well as excellent palm rejection. The pen clings magnetically to the side of the tablet when not in use. The 2560 x 1440p webcam on the Latitude 5290 is excellent for a laptop, and I wouldn't be embarrassed to jump on an important conference call with it. It's sharp, and it caught every hair on my head and in my beard, as well as my dimple, and the red of my shirt was accurate. The light behind me wasn't blown out as badly as it was on some other webcams.

Dell Business Dock - WD15: The power to get ahead

Our laptop battery for LATITUDE 5280, 5290, 5490, 5590 is the reliable solution to your power problems. It's a high-quality replacement battery that's competitively priced and delivered fast. Since it's designed to be compatible with your existing model, you won't have the expense or hassle of replacing your entire laptop. That means no business downtime - just dependable performance and seamless productivity. Users can log in with either the rear-mounted fingerprint reader or facial recognition using Windows Hello. There's also an optional smart card reader for token-based logins. Our review unit included vPro for remote management, though that's not the case with all configurations. The Latitude 5290 is a compact laptop that Dell has optimized through and through for use in business - with all the advantages and disadvantages that are accompanying such an orientation towards specific target groups. The advantages include for example, the good keyboard and the robust case. The Latitude also has VGA, a connection that is probably still appreciated by some users in the business sector, since there are probably still many VGA projectors around. Furthermore, the Latitude always runs very quietly during idle, while still offering an above-average CPU performance. The battery life is good, and the speakers are also not bad for a small business device. With two RAM slots and up to 32 GB of working memory, the Latitude is also expandable.

Unfortunately, this minor improvement in ergonomics doesn’t quite resolve the inherent quirks of this form factor in that it’s optimised purely for flat and stable surfaces. Using it on your lap is somewhat of a risk of it wobbling or toppling over seeing the high center of gravity of the tablet portion as is anywhere else like a couch, bed or whatnot. If most of your computing is done purely on a desk or an in-flight tray on a plane, this oughtn’t be an issue. Hard drive retention: Hard drive retention is not available on models with a soldered hard drive, including XPS 9315 2in1, Chromebooks or Venue tablets, except the Venue 11 Pro.All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location. Even with the cool stand, though, it's not as artfully designed as the Microsoft Surface Pro. And if you want the latest processor, you'll need to wait for that one to be refreshed. If you prefer a convertible 2-in-1 to a detachable, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga is the way to go. Its battery life is the same, and while its screen isn't as bright, it shows off more color. Secondly, the screen will be afflicted by smudge marks. Despite claims of anti-smudge technology, the Latitude’s glass attracts fingerprints – so be prepared to wipe down your device regularly. Specifications In keeping with Dell’s other computing solutions for corporate concerns, the Latitude 5290 2-in-1 is configurable to some degree in terms of the battery, adapter, power supply, storage, RAM and processor. What remains common along all permutations of the notebook across markets is a rear-mounted fingerprint reader and Windows Hello facial authentication via the built-in webcam up front. Both the 5-megapixel front-facing (for selfies and video chats) and 8-megapixel rear-facing (for snapshots) cameras capture above-averagely bright and detailed images, in addition to the former's face recognition with Windows Hello. Side-facing speakers pump out reasonably loud and clear audio, predictably free of deep bass but accurate and pleasant for streaming entertainment.
