Title: Dell Vostro 14 5490: Business laptop with dedicated GPU in review
Post by: Redaktion on January 11, 2021, 19:30:06
With the Vostro series, Dell primarily targets small businesses that want to offer a good compromise between performance and cost. Our 14-inch Vostro 5490 even has a dedicated graphics card, but the fan control is not well developed.

I have the Vostro 3420, and it's fine as a computer, but it is in NO WAY a laptop.  The thing will burn your legs/lap.  I can't believe how incredibly hot this thing is.  They came and replaced the fan, but it made no difference.  This is a portable desktop, maybe.  But if you ever think you would use it in your actual lap, forget about it.  Horrible.
