With solid hardware, a rugged but elegant build, tight security features, and a certain cool factor, the Latitude 5290 is everything the on-the-go professional wants – but it isn’t cheap.

Now that the tech sages have declared 2018 to lớn be the year without another Surface Pro, Microsoft’s competitors are putting out new top-of-the-line 2-in-1s with the idea of making 2018 their year instead.


Enter the Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 (not to lớn be confused with the Dell Latitude 5290 Business Laptop), an enterprise-oriented detachable device that the venerable Texas manufacturer hopes will capture some of that suddenly up for grabs 2-in-1 territory.

Dell’s trang web sells the Latitude 5290 2-in-1 we tested for £1,532 ($1,932), excluding VAT. Lower spec configurations start from £1,259 ($899).



Design

The Latitude’s design follows the typical detachable 2-in-1 template: it has a deployable kickstand so the tablet portion can st& on its own, along with a magnetized type cover for easy tablet/laptop conversion, & an extra-large bezel và tactile rear panel so hands can easily grip it.



That said, the Latitude does bring some welcome wrinkles khổng lồ the 2-in-1 blueprint. It has a nifty, intuitive take on the tablet kickst& – the leg tự động deploys by holding the tablet at a 90 degree angle và pressing it inkhổng lồ a flat surface.


Furthermore, the kickstand flexes a full 150 degrees, allowing for custom viewing angles and easy access lớn the micro-SIM & microSD thẻ slots, which are cleverly, & discreetly, located around the back of the tablet.



The Latitude is also awash in enterprise-friendly ports and card slots. Most notably it boasts a Noble Wedge loông xã, smart card reader, NFC và – much kudos to Dell for this – a pair of DisplayPort over USB-C connectors. Thanks to this port twinning, users won’t have sầu to lớn choose between charging their Latitude and plugging in another device.

A magnet on the Latitude’s right-hvà side secures the Dell Active Pen (sold separately for £60/$60) lớn the tablet, though we recommover tethering the stylus the old-fashioned way. The magnet simply isn’t svào enough lớn prsự kiện the pen from being stripped off by an errant knoông xã, especially if you transport the Latitude loose in a work bag.


Here is the Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 configuration sent khổng lồ ebestbuyvn.net Pro for review:

Unfortunately the Latitude also suffers from some of the same flaws inherent to all detachable devices.

Firstly, any non-flat surface gives it the fits. Laps, beds, and so forth – they’ll sover 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.

Secondly, the screen will be afflicted by smudge marks. Despite claims of anti-smudge technology, the Latitude’s glass attracts fingerprints – so be prepared lớn wipe down your device regularly.

Specifications

The Latitude’s clayên khổng lồ hardware fame is its 8th-generation Hãng sản xuất Intel Vi xử lý 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 khổng lồ 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 và it’s a quiet và fast drive.

There are three cameras – 5MP, 8MP.., và infrared – giving users the ability to đoạn Clip Hotline with the boss, snap pics of Mr. Yum Yums the tabby, và login via Windows Hello (though hopefully not all at the same time). Last but not least – và especially important for enterprise users – the Latitude boasts dual-b& wireless-AC 8265 Wi-Fi & Bluetooth 4.2.
