Dell Latitude 5590 - Overview, Upgrade and Benchmarks

[@randomname9758]

I just got this as a hand me down couple days ago and it still runs great .

[@jensdbe]

Good to hear, seems to be a bit underrated but overall a good machine to my idea.

Really great review of my Dell Latitude 5590, I learned a lot! It was great that you showed how simple it is to upgrade the memory, since I've recently gone to Windows 11 and find my machine slowing down due to lack of memory. With your help, it'll be easy for me to take my machine to 16GB, thanks!

I have one with 16gb of memory, i7-8650U CPU, 1 TB NVME (Samsumg Evo) and Nvidia GeForce MX130 with additional 2GB of video memory, it is a great machine!

Thanks for sharing

Great Video, Thanks for the insight 😉

Glad to see that you enjoy this :)

Please can you use hdd and ssd for this machine at the same time?

[@jhonlovera7353]

I have the same laptop but my battery started to fail. Its original battery is a Dell 42 WH 11.4v but the one in your video is a Dell 68 WH 7.6V. My question is, does it work anyway? Can I put that battery in it? I won't have any problems. How long have you had it with that battery, did it give you any problems?

[@jensdbe]

You probably have the 3-cell battery while the one I have is a 4-cell. Both wok fine and this was some kind of an upgrade option at the time of purchase. I bought it second hand as well so not sure how long the battery is in it but it works fine over a longer time.

Does it have cellular And how to enable the SIM card Or wnat kind of sim cards does it use

[@laurencejohnson4106]

It's designed to be easily maintained!👍👍

[@jensdbe]

Wish more laptops would be like that

[@laurencejohnson4106]

@@jensdbe Yes, I concur and I have an HP Probook 6570b which in my opinion is well designed, there are two latches on the bottom cover, one releases the battery and the other releases the cover and once the cover is removed the HD/SSD., and the ram., and the cmos battery and the WiFi card and the fan and the cpu., are all easily accessible. Being an older laptop it has a third generation i5 fitted and after all of the usual cleaning and applying fresh thermal paste, I then upgraded the ram., to it's maximum of 16 gig., of ddr3 and installed a 500 gig., SSD., and the computer currently works well with Windows 11 installed.

@@laurencejohnson4106 recently had to do some upgrades on two different HP consumer laptops. One required me to remove two rubber feet to acces screws and for the other I had to remove two rubber strips. Neither of this sticks back easily so it takes a lot more effort. I just don't see the point why...

[@laurencejohnson4106]

@@jensdbe It was probably an idea from that particular period, sometimes a drop of weak glue is required to re-stick the rubber feet/strips.

[@PearComputingDevices]

Even in 2018-2019 when these machines had been new the price difference between SATA and Mvme was very small. For most of us in the consumer market it wouldn't even make much sense but these are corporate machines. When deploying 100's if not thousands of these machines the few bucks adds up big. If all your doing is word documents and spreadsheets most users wouldn't notice the difference anyway. But what's most insulting here is that Dell did the same thing to the 7000 series. The 7400 came standard with a sata over Mvme. I could easily see this for a 5000 series, middle of the road performance machine. But they're (at the time) top of the line? Please!

This laptop run project zomboid friend?

[@Zmintz]

I have this Dell Latitude 5590 (Mfg. Year: 2019) which came with Dell 3-cell 51 Wh- 11.4V battery For a better backup, I want to upgrade the battery. The support page shows Dell 4-cell 68 Wh- 7.6V so now I am confused if it is ok to replace a 11.4V battery with 7.6V. I am aware that a 68Wh means more Watt Hour (backup) but should not the voltage be same i.e. 11.4V as my present battery? Your help in this matter would be appreciated. Thanks

[@jensdbe]

I think the cells are coupled in series, so you need to multiplu the voltage by the amount of cells. That means that for both batteries you would be around 30V, which sounds realistic.

[@kirokye]

can this device run high graphic games?? like baldurs gate 3 for example

[@jensdbe]

As far as I know Baldurs Gate 3 (and similar games) require a proper GPU. This laptop does not have that and can only use the integrated Intel graphics.

[@2DAnimax]

can use USB-C port for other tasks than display port?

[@jensdbe]

Sure, works fine as a "regular" USB port for most of the tasks which you would expect.

[@2DAnimax]

@@jensdbe so i can use it as charging port for phone or something which has USB-C port..or just connect to USB-C pen drive?

[@jensdbe]

@@2DAnimax all positive, yes

[@davidgeb9235]

what about battery life?

[@aclasswithrhee482]

Does it use HDD and SSD ? And is it Touch screen?

[@kingronald6152]

ssd and touchscreen yes

[@KnowledgeCapsulePK]

How to enable keyboard backlit ?

[@jensdbe]

It should be Fn+F10 (the Fn key is not needed if function key Fn lock is enabled). I'm not sure if that keyboard backlight is standard though.

[@pjlynch3889]

i have one😊

[@mrvincentpogi]

im eyeing this laptop for zoom and webex meeting purposes only, is it fine? no lags ?

[@jensdbe]

Should do a good job for that
