The Dell e7490 Is it for you?

This is the Dell Latitude e7490. This is the newest computer that I've had on this channel and it's beautiful. I really want one for myself. It's a i7 laptop and we're going to remove the hard drive and replace it. Then we will install Windows 10 Pro but first, lets take a quick look at Ubuntu 20.04 running on it.

I bought a used one 2 days ago when I turned It On the screen didn't work but everything else worked just fine now I'm going to give It back to the seller to fix It but he told me that It will take a lot of time, what should I do and what would possibly be the cause ??

[@MikeDancy]

I’d plug in an external monitor first to see if it’s pushing out a display at all. The seller might just wait till they get it back and then cancel the sale and refund you. It could be a loose connection?

I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these to use as a Linux workstation. It's 2021, and I can't find a good modern Linux machine. I'm just in the process of returning a Dell Inspiron 16 Plus because the touchpad malfunctions (intermittently, after a random amount of time). The Latitude 7490 looks pretty good, but even over here in the UK it's quite pricey. If buying from "Dell Refurbished", it does come with a 6 month warranty...

[@MikeDancy]

which flavour of Linux would you go with? I've always had good luck with Linux Mint but find that Ubuntu is generic enough that everything works with it.

[@MnemonicCarrier]

@@MikeDancy I normally roll with Arch Linux (with KDE Plasma, still on X11, haven't switched to Wayland yet).

Sir, that's not the dual camera. One is an IR blaster for windows hello feature - a face recognition.

[@MikeDancy]

Yup. I realize that now. Thanks

[@annabelbrannan7561]

Where do you sell them? I am only wondering as I have seen a few of your videos and am looking to buy a laptop

[@MikeDancy]

90% of the time on Facebook marketplace. I don’t sell these on eBay anymore due to Scammer’s. I plan on making a video soon about the beat places to buy a computer and what to look for.

How's the battery life

[@MikeDancy]

I never had it long enough to test but I think it showed 8 hours when I moved the mouse over the battery icon after a full charge.
