I was hesitant to make a purchase but so far, this is a very decent gaming laptop for medon't expect miracles you will either have to settle for running games at lower graphics or you can do what i did and get a separate external graphics card to help run games at better graphicsvery fast and reliable and you help the environment by buying refurbishedthe storage is big enough for both games and all my college essays i save for backup just in case i have to resubmit work. best for both my usesi also use this laptop for my buisness as well and it runs great for that as well able to talk to clinets and check detail at the same time without a lag on video or sudden speed reductionsome reviews say that you can't change the volume but you can. unfortunately it won't come with a instruction pamphlet on basic features so i will tell you right now, you have to hold the FN key and tap f2 and f3 keys to change the volumesame goes if you need to quickly mute (if your a gamer, you know being able to quickly mute without clicking though shit is a must lol) hold FN again and press F4F11 and F12 control brightnessInsert button puts your laptop immediately to sleep keeping your tabs "idle" till you get backagain be sure you hold the Fn button as you do sowhile gaming depending on the games you decide to run but IT WILL GET HOTnot like burning hot but enough that you probably don't wanna rest it on your lapI keep a laptop pad on my lap so it vents and doesn't bother me muchIt also will sound like a PS4 Fan after a bit so take breaks for both your gaming health and the laptop lolDoesn't heat up though when doing light activities like YouTube, emails, etcIt's kinda heavy vs a Chromebook i use to borrow from my colleges, so don't try to say hold it with one hand, it hruts your wrist a bitOverall, this laptop is ok for gaming if your willing to deal with low graphics or spend extra on a external graphics card and should be perfect for basic internet needs as well

This review ONLY applies to the Dell Latitude 5490 I received through Seller Century Computer LLC.The laptop was very clean and looked truly refurbished. The Windows key was valid. It has an 8th generation CPU, and I upgraded it to Windows 11. This model has a touch screen and that works well too. There was one very minor issue and the seller contacted me very quickly. It's hardly worth mentioning but his quick response shows he backs his merchandise.

While this is a used laptop, it's in good shape. It was windows 10, but upgraded to windows 11 easily. No problems, delivered quickly. I'm satisfied.

MY Item DID-NOT have a lighted keyboard! this is a minor complaint, but the item description *does say* it is lighted. The reason i bought this item, specifically, this make and model, is bc i already have one, its cheap, and i knew it has a lighted keyboard. .....> what i didnt know, and i guess the seller also didnt know, is that some configurations of this make and model , come with*OUT a lighted keyboard. i do not want to be unfair and give a bad rating. but i want others to be aware.

I purchased this laptop expecting a Windows 10 system with a local account option, as advertised. However, upon first boot, it immediately forced a Windows 11 update and required a Microsoft account setup, with no option for a local account. This was a significant deviation from the product description and a major inconvenience.Additionally, the built-in HDMI port was defective. It failed to work consistently, only displaying video sporadically (1 out of 20 attempts) or not at all. I tested it with multiple HDMI cables and devices, confirming the issue was with the port. I resolved this by purchasing a USB-to-HDMI adapter from Amazon, which worked reliably on two different TVs.Setting up the laptop was frustrating due to Windows 11's mandatory features, like OneDrive and other intrusive Microsoft services. Thanks to Grok AI, I received helpful tips to customize the Start menu and taskbar to resemble Windows 10 (or even Windows 7). I also recommend Open-Shell (formerly Classic Shell) for anyone looking to improve the Windows 11 experience. Without this assistance and significant time investment, the laptop would have been nearly unusable for my needs. When I contacted the seller about these issues, I provided my order number as requested, but their response felt dismissive, asking me to restate the problem as if stalling. I also reported the misleading listing to Amazon, as advertising a Windows 10 laptop that forces a Windows 11 upgrade is deceptive —like ordering a meal only to have it replaced with something entirely different.I strongly advise buyers to avoid this seller due to inaccurate product descriptions and poor customer service. Check all ports upon receipt and be prepared for potential OS discrepancies.

This is the laptop as the centerpiece of my audio/MIDI research studio. When I got it, it started kicking butt right away, I got it for audio, so 16 gig ram, quad processor, SSD drive all make it hum, it's most notable weakness is that it's only 1.7 Ghz not like 3Ghz & I5. It still is fast and multitasks well.... It is windows 11 Pro, Pro is good....As with all 14" laptops, it's got good real estate on the monitor, but is a little heavy, and a little large, a tradeoff....Hard drive is 512 GB, you might want to trade up to a 1 TB drive. I generally like Dell as an American brand (I don't like HP) and I owned a computer repair company for over 20 years....Gud luk!

Laptop works great, no issues after almost a year's use. Surprised how durable it is and the battery life is really good. Standard design. The key pads are perfectly designed for me to type faster.
