DELL Latitude 5491

Dell is a laptop brand known for solid quality, appealing designs and reasonable prices.

The Dell Latitude 5491 laptop is a mid-range model that Dell offers to business professionals.

DELL Latitude 5491 Design

The overall look of the machine is minimalist, with a smooth surface finished in black from edge to edge. The Latitude 5491 lid is made of carbon fiber, with a chrome-plated Dell logo in the center that looks eye-catching and elegant.

Around the outer edge of the Dell Latitude 5491 display runs a flat bezel. It improves the look, and it also lets you hold the corners of the Dell Latitude 5491 display firmly, without any bending or warping.

The Dell Latitude 5491 charging port is at the rear, next to the Ethernet, HDMI and USB 3.0 ports. On the left side of the Dell 5491 there is another USB 3.0 port, a Thunderbolt 3 port, and the SD and SmartCard slots. On the right edge you will find a USB 3.0 port, an audio jack, a VGA port and a security lock slot. The Dell 5491 also includes Bluetooth and 802.11ac wireless.

Display

The Dell Latitude 5491 uses an IPS panel, like its sibling the 5490. Brightness is acceptable at a rated 200 nits, and in normal use you will typically run it above 80% brightness.

The Dell Latitude 5491 display covers roughly 54% of sRGB and 37% of AdobeRGB. If you are a demanding user when it comes to photo editing, the Dell Latitude 5491 is a real disappointment here. Its rival, the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s, reaches nearly 100% of the sRGB color space.

The Dell Latitude 5491 display is modest in brightness, so the machine does not seem to perform well outdoors. The Dell Latitude 5491 is better suited to indoor use.

Keyboard and Trackpad

The Dell Latitude 5491 keyboard is backlit, and the keys have a soft, full feel. They respond well to fast typing, with quiet operation, a comfortable amount of travel and good tactile feedback.

The touchpad has a good surface with some friction, and below the Dell 5491 touchpad are two large rubber buttons that make clicking comfortable. The joystick pointer on the Dell Latitude 5491 keyboard is sensitive and flexible.

The Dell Latitude 5491 comes with a full set of common ports, which serve office work well.
