Our list of complaints has shrunk since last month’s Latitude 7390 review, partially thanks to configuration differences with today’s review unit, and partially just because some of these items may be a product of idiosyncrasies of the individual machines themselves. The upgrade to a Core i7 certainly brings with it some performance advantages—most notably during sustained loads, where speeds are not only better but also more consistent overall. However, for the vast majority of users, the Core i5 is more than powerful enough and the cost savings may render it a more attractive option. Much of the same logic applies to the NVMe SSD (versus the conventional M.2 SATA option we saw in last month’s Latitude 7390 test unit) which is faster but also generates more heat and comes at a higher price. Most surprisingly, however, the anti-glare touchscreen in this configuration truly is anti-glare; it carries with it no negatives in comparison to last month’s conventional (non-touch) panel.

It’s certainly pricey, but there are few other laptops in its class as thoroughly impressive as the Latitude 7390.

The laundry list of pros still applies otherwise. The 7390 features flawless workmanship and a sturdy build while nevertheless managing a small footprint and light weight. Maintenance is easy thanks to the removable bottom cover. The thorough selection of ports and robust security options will be appreciated by business road warriors and corporate IT departments. The keyboard and touchpad on today’s review unit were both very good overall, and the display panel remains attractive despite the differences in components introduced by the touch capability. Finally, the device remains silent the vast majority of the time, and battery runtimes are lengthy. Cap it all off with a 3-year on-site warranty and you’ve got a very strong contender within the business segment.

At $2,197, it’s certainly pricey, but there are few other laptops in its class as thoroughly impressive as the Latitude 7390. Lenovo’s X1 Carbon and HP’s EliteBook Folio 1040 G4 are probably the top competitors—but it would be hard to go wrong with any one of these machines honestly.
