notepads are the most liked by millennials. Especially for writing or quick note-taking in class, notepads are becoming a need for students, corporate professionals and workaholics of today's time. If you are looking for a light, all-purpose and portable computer for use on the go, the new Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 fits just right for you.

Priced at Rs 109,990 (including keyboard) the Latitude 5290 2-in-1 is Dell's latest attempt at making a Microsoft Surface-style machine for business and leisure.

Design & Display •

The laptop looks good and polished in its sleek black colour. However, the look and feel of the laptop is similar to the Surface Pro with a Dell branding. The only striking difference is that the Surface Pro is polished in silver for the most part. Other than that, the aesthetics and design of the laptop are almost identical.

Battery •

Talking of battery, this is easily a major drawback. The laptop fares poorly on this count. Given that Dell is known for its long battery backup in its laptops, the Latitude comes as a disappointment. The battery drains quickly, but on the brighter side it also charges quickly.

Most of the times, working rigorously for three hours was found to drain the battery to as low as 10 per cent, though there was no compromise on the performance level.

Keyboard •

The back-lit keyboard is for light use only. Light use here means you would definitely find an extensive typing task a hassle because of its shallow keys and more actuation while typing for long hours. Your fingers may get tired after a while. Moreover, the look and feel around the keyboard does not give much of a premium feel. It is just a decent keyboard, and not a solid one at that.
