For general use, the Dell Latitude 14 7490 is a solid choice with its touchscreen, better build quality, and robust performance due to more RAM and a faster processor. It's also more portable with a smaller screen size and lighter weight, making it ideal for on-the-go tasks. However, if you're looking for a larger screen and don't need the touchscreen or extra RAM, the Acer Aspire Go 15 offers a good balance of performance and battery life for everyday tasks at a budget-friendly price. It's suitable for light gaming and multimedia consumption with its larger display, though it falls short in color accuracy and brightness compared to the Dell. The Dell, with its business-oriented design, also offers better security features like a fingerprint reader, which might be important depending on your use case. Overall, the Dell is a more premium device with better performance and portability for general use, while the Acer provides a larger screen and longer battery life at a lower cost. Give Feedback

LaptopMag

Henry T. Casey | April 2018
"The Dell Latitude 7490's got the speed you need (and then some), a keyboard that's comfortable enough for writing all day long and a battery that supports a full 8-hour workday. If only the display were brighter and it managed heat better. If you need every minute of battery life you can get, the extended-battery version of the Lenovo ThinkPad T480 lasts 8 hours longer than the Latitude 7490, but its display is much less colorful."
