Dell Latitude 7490 14" i5-8350U 16GB 256GB SSD Touch LTE Win 11 Pro Laptop Wty

Dell Latitude 7490 — 8th Gen Quad-Core Ultrabook with FHD Touch, LTE & Win 11 Pro

The Dell Latitude 7490 combines an 8th Generation Intel Core i5, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, full-HD touchscreen, and built-in LTE/4G in a lightweight 1.59kg magnesium alloy chassis running Windows 11 Pro — backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty and free standard AU shipping.

Key Benefits

• Intel Core i5-8350U Quad-Core (8th Gen): 4 cores / 8 threads at 1.7GHz base (3.6GHz Turbo) — significantly more multi-threaded performance than previous-gen dual-core ultrabooks, handling demanding office workloads with ease.
• 16GB DDR4 RAM: Double the standard 8GB — run multiple virtual machines, heavy browser sessions, and business software simultaneously without slowdowns.
• 14” FHD Touchscreen (1920×1080): Full HD anti-glare display with touch input for on-screen navigation, PDF annotation, and client presentations.
• Built-in LTE/4G: Integrated SIM card slot for always-on mobile broadband — no tethering needed on job sites, in transit, or at client premises.
• Windows 11 Pro: Latest Microsoft OS with BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop, TPM 2.0, and Secure Boot — ready for modern enterprise environments.
• Backlit Keyboard & Premium Build: MagSafe-style magnesium alloy chassis at 1.59kg with backlit keyboard, dual pointing devices (touchpad + pointing stick), and Waves MaxxAudio Pro sound.

Performance in Use

The i5-8350U’s 4-core/8-thread architecture marks a substantial step up from dual-core Skylake and Kaby Lake predecessors. Running Microsoft 365, video conferencing, multiple browser tabs, and background cloud sync simultaneously is effortless — the hyper-threaded quad-core keeps each task responsive even under combined load.

16GB RAM is a genuine differentiator at this price point. Power users who open dozens of browser tabs, work with large Excel files, run local VMs, or use memory-intensive CRM platforms will feel the difference immediately compared to 8GB systems. There’s headroom for software growth without needing a RAM upgrade.

The touchscreen adds practical value for field professionals — signing documents, navigating forms, annotating drawings, and pointing out information during client presentations are all more natural with touch than with a trackpad. The LTE slot means you’re always connected regardless of venue — insert any Australian carrier SIM for immediate mobile broadband without configuration complexity.
