Dell Latitude Dell Latitude 7390 13.3" FHD 1920 x 1080 Review
The Dell Latitude 7390 packs a 1TB SSD into a compact body for $441, but its aging Intel CPU holds it back. It's a niche pick for storage-focused buyers on a very tight budget.
Overview
The Dell Latitude 7390 is a compact 13.3-inch business laptop that's a few years old now. It packs a 1TB NVMe SSD and 16GB of RAM into a 1.8kg package with a touchscreen, running Windows 11 Pro. It's built for portability and basic office work, not for heavy lifting.
Performance
The Intel 8650U CPU is dated, landing in the 13th percentile. It'll handle web browsing, documents, and video calls just fine, but don't expect speed. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics are predictably weak, scoring a 6/100 for gaming. The 1TB SSD is the standout, offering plenty of fast storage. Just don't push the system too hard.

Value & Pricing
At $441, this is a tough sell. You're getting a lot of storage and a portable form factor, but the core components are old and slow. For basic, undemanding tasks, it works. But you're paying for that big SSD and the Dell business chassis, not for performance.
vs Competition
Against modern competitors, it falls behind. The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 offers far better CPU performance and modern ports for not much more money. Even an older Apple MacBook with an M1 chip would run circles around it in speed and battery life. The ASUS Zenbook Duo offers wild dual-screen versatility. This Dell is for a very specific, budget-conscious buyer who needs a small Windows machine with tons of storage, right now.

Verdict
Only consider this if your budget is absolutely locked at $450, you need a 1TB SSD in a small laptop immediately, and performance is a distant concern. For almost everyone else, saving a bit more for a modern base model from Lenovo, Apple, or even Dell's own newer Latitudes is a much smarter long-term buy.
