I had a Dell Latitude 7490 as my work computer for a couple of years and really liked it. This review combines impressions of the machine I just received with extended experience with the one I had at work. It's a very quick, capable and solidly constructed unit with great battery life. The only trouble I had with my work computer was the optional touch screen malfunctioned and had to be disabled. This unit has no touch screen, so that is not an issue. Being already familiar with this model, I was pleased to find it at a good price. I knew exactly what I was getting and knew it would meet my needs. The fact that it is running Linux Mint instead of Windows is a plus, because most Linux distributions lack the inherent bloat of Windows, which translates into even better performance. Linux Mint is very user friendly and comes with a solid assortment of applications to meet most users' needs. The unit I received is in excellent condition. I haven't been using it long, but I did take it to work today and used it alongside my office computer. Running on battery power all day, it was less than half depleted when I left work. All in all, I'm pleased for what it is and what I paid. Read full review

have been away from windows, using Linux past five years or so. and win 7 offline [a great acer i refused to upgrade, so i went with Linux, til now, i use it for movie maker, dvd maker, etc. other music production stuff]. there's a learning curve i'm having a bit of trouble with, and certain drivers i need. but i know i'll get it, just not as user friendly as i'd like, and while looking for virus protection the reviews say win 11 bloated, but that's how windows is. i need it for a special musical instrument application/function. that's ALL i'm gonna use it for. one program: Gforce Mtronpro. has to be mac/windows. offline. uneasy with it having no malware protection til i get it on line. probably too late now anyway. had both my laptops going watching tutorials. but they're all new computers, this is pre-owned. sad there's no internal cd drive, the recommended one works fine but seems very cheap. ha! didn't truly realize i'm so elderly! don't feel like learning another operating system. i didn't know what a widget is, for example. it's always something. i'm sure things will be great once i get it going. forgive attitude. ill, today. not at my best. input welcomed! God bless.Read full review

Right out of the box it worked nicely. The Ubuntu o/s needed some work arounds to get to recognize my hard drive arrays and perform some functions, but the online forums helped sort all that out. The laptop is fast, connects to networks well. Still working to put it through some hard paces but overall I'm pretty happy with this laptop. Thanks.

This is my first Linux laptop. It is in excellent condition and it operates beautifully. Would have preferred a full size keyboard but that wasn't a deal breaker. Overall very pleased with the product.

Light in weight, but a heavyweight in performance.
