Even though the Dell Latitude 5290 can score in many respects, it does not earn our recommendation. Businesses should not mistreat the eyes of their employees with such a bad display.

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.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. The rear 3200 x 1800 shooter isn't as good with color; a photo I took of my desk toys made my Captain America Funko Pop's blue costume appear far brighter and deeper than it looks in real life.

Firstly, any non-flat surface gives it the fits. Laps, beds, and so forth – they’ll send your Latitude toppling unless it stays perfectly still. Detachable 2-in-1’s are just not balanced – or built with a firm enough base – for true ‘anywhere’ usage.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.

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 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. Aside from its processor, the Latitude’s other hardware highlight is 256GB of PCIe NVMe storage. That’s a solid amount of capacity and it’s a quiet and fast drive. Dell sells the Latitude 5290 2-in-1 with a one-year warranty. See how the company performed on our Tech Support Showdown and Best and Worst Brands ranking.With its integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics, the Latitude ran Dirt 3 at 68 frames per second. That's higher than both the average (66 fps) and the frame rate from the ThinkPad X1 Yoga (64 fps), but the Latitude still won't run more intense titles like Far Cry 5. 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
