@MobileTechReview I decided to purchase this laptop, and lemme tell you, I love it. I got the highest top of the line option I could get with all the bells and whistles. My only complaint is the fingerprint reader is hit or miss but I'm still getting used to it. The card reader function was the main deciding factor for me. Because I am in the military, having a CAC reader in this type of form factor is a game changer for travelling purposes. I will never have to carry a CAC reader again when i travel. I don't do any editing, so I get around 9 hrs of battery life. The brightness was another deciding factor. I have zero issues using this outside. Yes it drains the battery more, but I dont plan on being outside in the sun for 9 hours. Light weight powerful, a 512 SSD and an SD Card with 4g LTE is simply awesome. If it wasnt for your review, I probably never would have known about this thing, especially with the CAC reader as an add-on. Thank you for the great video!
Hi, at 7:10 mark in the GeekBench4 comparison charts the Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 i5 has a higher multi-core score compared to XPS 13 9360 i7. very interesting. Love your reviews. Keep up the good work.
MobileTechReview the Eve V is actually a great product. However, I'm looking for a Surface Book like device with a dedicated GPU in the base and a more traditional laptop form factor with the detachable tablet.
Hafeez Hamama unfortunately a SBook device is a very niche product in which MS sell by the thousands, you might want one, but demand is low and potential profit is nominal. Even these 2 in 1 devices have gone past their 15 minutes of fame; most of us who have used them find them too compromised as a laptop, just try it on your lap! Really only for those that need pen support, from artists to school and some professionals. 2 in 1 devices have been superseded by 360 degree devices that give us a great laptop experience and on the rare occasions we need a Window’s tablet, that option. I suspect the Surface Pro will be cancelled after the next iteration or they will only update every 2-3 years. The fact MS brought out the Surface Laptop is a sign they needed a change of strategy to get a foothold, these gimmicky devices may excite on first look but rarely live up to the hype.
As a MacBook Pro (2012 with 1TB SSD swap and 16GB) owner who also has a Surface Pro 4 (i7 512 16GB) , I couldn't agree more. Haha. I bought the SP4 because it looked exciting in reviews, and in the store. I thought on it for months. Now I have it, and I try to use it as much as possible, to justify the ~$2500 spent, but I still turn back to my MacBook Pro every day. I'm typing on it now, with my SP4 next to my left elbow, collecting dust. My iPad Air 2 gets much more use than the SP4 too. Maybe I should have gone for an iPad Pro and saved over $1000... Don't tell my girlfriend I said that. :o
Demand is low? At our retailer we've sold many more Surface Book 2 (and Surfaces in general) than any other model PC. Also, please don't bring up the gimmick card - it's bullshit. These are genuinely functional and desired devices and the only real competitor to Apple's MacBook line.
So, I got my 5290 on Monday and I've been using it daily for the past three days now and here are my thoughts about it and the review: 1. Yes, it is a Surface Pro clone but I think it looks much better. Looks like a pro device with the simple but clean black design rather than the chintzy angled, silver edge of the Surface. 2. The kickstand is copied, but I'm surprised that Lisa was unaware that there are two buttons at the bottom of the tablet that when pressed down on a surface will release the kickstand into open position. 3. The kickstand does have a single, set position (the one that it opens to when you press down on the tablet) but it can open quite flat, and it is pretty stiff (has a lot of resistance to moving) though, not a concern at all like it seemed from the review. 4. The default for the two USB type C ports is displayport over USB-C, but the priciest configuration can do thunderbolt. I don't really have the need for thunderbolt as displayport does fast data and good power over USB-C. 5. The USB-C ports are decent and not loose, even if not as nice of a "click" feel like an Apple lightning port. 6. Fingerprint reader (option) works pretty well. 7. Smart card reader (option) is the reason I got this over a Surface Pro as it is the only tablet I am aware of that has a built in smart card reader. This is my #1 needed feature since I need my smart card to log into my vpn. 8. The travel keyboard is great. Perfect match for the 5290, and doesn't look silly like the Surface Pro and all its colored keyboards. Keyboard seems higher quality also, and the track pad (which cannot be turned off) has impressive palm rejection, like I've never experienced in any (Lenovo, MacBook Air, ASUS, etc.) of my past or current laptops with a track pad. It's backlit (2 levels of brightness) and attaches very securely via magnets (a la Surface Pro). It also has a canvas type material on the back that I do not like (also like the Surface Pro) as I would prefer a more grippy/rubbery/plastic back since the canvas material may pick up stains, etc. 9. The fans are not noisy but they do seem to be running a lot of the time. 10. BATTERY LIFE has been a big disappointment initially ,with 5 hours being a stretch even with wifi and bluetooth on, and minimal activity besides being logged into my vpn. Maybe with a few charge cycles the battery life seems to have improved so that 6 hours seems reasonable (at the lowest processor power and darkest screen setting, which is not that dark actually) and right now it's estimating 10 hours (I doubt that though). 11. Screen, which is 1920x1280, is perfectly lovely and if it helps stretch battery life (42WHr) by being lower res, then I am even more happy with it. 12. Screen cannot get very dim and gets so bright that it would be usable outside, which is not important for me. 13. Performance (I have the 8th gen, quad core, Core i5 with 8GB RAM) has been good but I don't use anything that needs much power. 14. Overall, it's pricey (mine cost nearly $1900 shipped) but is the only tablet/2-in-1 that does exactly what I want and need and I am happy with it so far, so it's well worth it to me.
i just bought 5290 yesterday. just wanna ask u usb 3.1 just got 1 slot. if let say i use it for wireless mouse.. how i wanna use usb drive or portable drive? are the usb c adapter any brand selling outside compatible with this 5290? thanks
You could try using a bluetooth mouse, although the microsoft contour bt mouse I got loses bt connection with the 5290 sometimes when idle for a while. Not sure but I think it is a 5290 issue as the mouse does not do that with my ASUS laptop. Not sure if there are any external drives with usb-c connector natively, but you could use an adapter if u need.
@ANDREAS LARSEN Yes, the same here, although with an 5285. However what I don't agree with is the keyboard. It is sooo much worse than what my Surface Pro 3/4 had. The quality is not as nice, the leather on the top has become a bit shiny and word at places where my wrists are touching it whilst typing. And regarding typing, quite often it registers one keypress as a double press, which might be caused by my typing style, but never happened on Microsoft's devices. And those type covers still looked very nice after 1.5 years of use.
Definitely pick this one over Surface Pro. More ports and it have wacom pen technology. Unfortunately right now I need a new full-blown desktop instead of a portable one.
No one ever seems to say whether or not these types of tablets have keyboard covers that stay closed. Does this have magnets that keep it on the screen or does the keyboard just flop about?
Wow i got one for like 2000$ Cad including tax a while back , only the 8Gig though, came with Thunderbolt 3, and had a pen and keyboard included in this package, mind you it was on sale like over 50% off. Wouldn't pay full price of course, but Dell always does deals. Besides i also did 12 month interest free financing ~160$ a month. I would of went with Surface Pro but for the upgraded version its double what i paid for this, and cannot be serviced easily. Dell ships with a manual to take everything apart....easy battery swaps, broadband upgrades, memory upgrades/ replacements. :)
It is so refreshing to see two laptops with the Ctrl key placed correctly (in the left corner). Please take a screenshot and send it to Lenovo / Apple :D (And so the war begins...)
Sometimes I feel Lenovo should just switch their Ctrl and Fn keys like everyone. I understand that they've been doing like this forever and that you can swap the keys in the bios, but still...
@dsego. It is true that macOS puts more emphasis on the Command key, but Ctrl is still a important key (used in the CLI, most IDES, etc). Fn key in the left corner is an ergonomic disaster. ThinkPads usually have an option to swap Ctrl and Fn in the BIOS. Unfortunately the key size just doesn't feel right when you are touch typing, plus, inverting the keys is not an option if you share your laptop with a non techie.
At least Lenovo lets you remap the ctrl button to the bottom left button for many of their laptops, including mine. My macbook drives me crazy because of the difficulty of shortcut copying, pasting, selecting all, etc.
Nice presentation. Thumps up! One question: does the pen has some special functions? Like copy paste or click combinations? I would like to know more about that.
Is the PN557W the only Active Stylus that can be used with the 5290 2-in-1 or are there other options? If there are other options any recommendations on what is the best stylus to use with the 5290? Thanks for the excellent review!
Great video as always Lisa! Any idea if I configure a 5290 from Dell with a SATA m.2 SSD and then swap in an NVMe SSD if it'll run on NVMe or on AHCI? I don't want to wind up stuck with an AHCI drive because I didn't do the initial config carefully enough...
Hi Lisa, Great video as usual. Can you share if there's any coil whine issue with this version? I bought the 5285 and though I liked it, I returned it due to coil whine issue.
$2880USD for the i5 midrange spec on the Australian store. Seems like some nice specs (Wacom AES +Quadcore) but it's a big jump from an i5 Surface Pro $1570USD. That's like $1300 for two extra cores(+2T) and a worse screen. 16gb ram model jumps up to $4000 USD. Price aside it looks cool!
Hey Lisa great job! Can we get a smackdown against the ThinkPad tablet x1 3rd gen. Including which you think world work best for occasional external gpu used. Thx
Hi, Lisa. Love your reviews! Was wondering if you have any recommendations for a laptop that can run some small SolidWorks tasks (requires a dedicated Invidia Quadro or AMD FirePro graphics card). My budget is $2000 and I'm looking to get the most powerful laptop possible while remaining under 4.5 lbs. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Hi Lisa, thanks for the great review. I'm looking for a 13" laptop, a sturdy, allrounder performance oriented laptop or 2-in-1 for travelling and take to the office on a daily basis. I need speed and versatility. What would youbsuggest if i may bother you? I thought about tb e dell xpa 13 2 in 1 or the lenovo carbon. Thank you
Sorry for a little off-topic, but why hasn't there been a review of the Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+? Mobiletechreivew is usually quite fast to review such new phone releases....
Great video, thanks. That 7th gen for $899 you were talking about... Dell Australia want $3211 for that, and it only goes up from there to $5160 for the 16gb/512 model. WOW I'll stick with HP and their much lower Australia Tax. (even Microsoft is cheaper)
@MobileTechReview, what is the texture of the keyboard? I know you said it's a soft touch, but does that mean it's identical to the surface keyboard, that fake velvet feel? I'm looking to buy a system for someone who hates the texture of the surface keyboard...but likes the rest of everything about it. Turns out, Microsoft ONLY makes surface keyboards with that feel and not another type (as far as I've found). If anyone has advice on another system that is similar to this, but without the velvet textured keyboard, please share! It just needs to have LTE sim capability. Thanks!
Price point of this device is lovely. Sounds like a device that I really want to own for tech work purposes, since the core count is very much like the Macbook Pro 15's.
How to make sure to have the Thunderbolt 3 option? In Dell website it also tells is optional but in customize doesn't let you choose this. Thanks for your videos
Optional since the I7 is an optional upgrade. Confusing, yes. Dell's marketing team has never been the sharpest bunch when it comes to being clear and shraight-forward.
Lisa keep doing what you are doing. One of the best tech channels.
@MobileTechReview I decided to purchase this laptop, and lemme tell you, I love it. I got the highest top of the line option I could get with all the bells and whistles.

My 5290 2in1 battery is really poor. It dies at 4 hours of use with 20% brightness
important points answered as i plan to buy one from second hand now.... thanks a lot
Looking at purchasing one 2024 as though getting old they are great for the prices at the moment
your one of my favorite youtuber :)

I wish someone would make a Surface Book clone already. I just want more battery in the tablet and some ports.
The Eve V we reviewed does a good job with the ports, but only Core m CPUs.

Love your reviews! Always entertaining and very detailed. Keep up great work!
Thank you for the up close views of the sides and back of the devices, it's really helpful how you slow the camera down to get it in focus thank you.
Thank you. I have been looking for a 2 in 1 and was unaware of the Latitude 5290. Great review.
Your reviews are always great
Great review as always. I can't wait for your review of the new x1 tablet.
It’s a shame the Vaio Z Canvas never got an upgrade. That still remains the most impressive tablet I’ve used.
Great video. Can't wait for your Lenovo X1 Tablet 2018 with the 8th gen CPU and probably compare & contrast with other tablet in it's range!
Lisa, you’re the best reviewer on the net. Thanks for your solid work.
Very nice review. Answered a lot of questions I had about this product!
Great video Lisa!
Love your vids. Keep up the good work.
Definitely pick this one over Surface Pro. More ports and it have wacom pen technology. Unfortunately right now I need a new full-blown desktop instead of a portable one.
Nice T-shirt.
BlaCkDranZeR21 i
best shirt!!
Her T shirts are always savage.
If I had money I wanted to buy one to play with it. 2 in 1s have always been a charm to me.
My favourite tech review channel :)
Wow. This was a damn good review.
No one ever seems to say whether or not these types of tablets have keyboard covers that stay closed.
Does this have magnets that keep it on the screen or does the keyboard just flop about?
Yes it's magnetic and it does well staying closed
Thanks for the review. Perfect level of information.
I'm dying for a review on Lenovo x1 tablet 3 gen
Hey Lisa, will you conduct a SmackDown of the Dell 5290, HP Spectre x2 and Surface Pro?
Maybe include the Eve V in that list?
I think all Surface-like devices could possibly be in that review.
That t-shirt alone deserves a thumbs up
Another quality review, Lisa!
Awesome review as always.
Wow i got one for like 2000$ Cad including tax a while back
, only the 8Gig though, came with Thunderbolt 3, and had a pen and keyboard included in this package, mind you it was on sale like over 50% off.

why apple? mac have Cmd in the thumb position, the most ergonomic placement of all, no pinkie pain.

I would like to know more about that.
I so much love your reviews
Great in depth reviews... I like it.
I love your reviews and your shirt is fabulous :)
A 3:2 aspect ratio? Awesome. We need more devices with that aspect ratio.
Is the PN557W the only Active Stylus that can be used with the 5290 2-in-1 or are there other options? If there are other options any recommendations on what is the best stylus to use with the 5290? Thanks for the excellent review!
It can use the offical wacom pen compatible with AES. The tilt sensitive dell premium pen ( pn579x ) is also compatible.
Great video as always Lisa! Any idea if I configure a 5290 from Dell with a SATA m.2 SSD and then swap in an NVMe SSD if it'll run on NVMe or on AHCI? I don't want to wind up stuck with an AHCI drive because I didn't do the initial config carefully enough...
Hi Lisa,
Great video as usual. Can you share if there's any coil whine issue with this version?
I bought the 5285 and though I liked it, I returned it due to coil whine issue.
Thanks a lot for direct information
Nice t-shirt, and amazing review - definitely the best tablet review I've seen so far, can you replace the ram for future proofing?
Like this update. Good to know the battery life is not terrible. But the truth is, 6 hours is still not great.
I LOVE your T-shirt, Lisa!!!
Would you mind telling me of you can connect this laptop/tablet to an external screen like HDMI or something? I appreciate the feedback.
Hi, did you manage to figure it out?
$2880USD for the i5 midrange spec on the Australian store. Seems like some nice specs (Wacom AES +Quadcore) but it's a big jump from an i5 Surface Pro $1570USD. That's like $1300 for two extra cores(+2T) and a worse screen.
16gb ram model jumps up to $4000 USD.
Price aside it looks cool!
Eagerly waiting for your Galaxy S9 review, Lisa =)
Hey Lisa, great review! Hoping for a review about the new Sony phone, really interested in that one
For some apparent reason, on Dell's own website, they have a link up for a 5290 2 in 1 that is $135?
Do you know what this might be?
Chromero I was wondering that as well
I was wondering why on my device I can't install the thunderbolt 3 driver
Loving your tasty Barium-Cobolt-Nitrogen T shirt!
only one who notes this device . Big like
like the servicebility and not everything is glued in.
Right, and half of the user manual is detailed instructions with pics on how to remove/access/install components.
Exactly why i bought this, i want serviceability. Batteries always die, and i like being able to replace parts my self.
IMP3TIGO Well now I'm sold tbh, ha. A computer, let alone a tablet, with a useful user manual is hard to come by these days.
Not to mention an unpopulated m.2 slot with SSD support. I wish all tablets had that expandability even now in 2019
Great review
Hey Lisa great job! Can we get a smackdown against the ThinkPad tablet x1 3rd gen. Including which you think world work best for occasional external gpu used. Thx
I couldn't concentrate on what you were saying because of BACON.
Hi, Lisa.
Love your reviews! Was wondering if you have any recommendations for a laptop that can run some small SolidWorks tasks (requires a dedicated Invidia Quadro or AMD FirePro graphics card). My budget is $2000 and I'm looking to get the most powerful laptop possible while remaining under 4.5 lbs. Any recommendations?
Thanks!
audible cat at 6:10 ! :)
Great Review 👍
Hi Lisa, thanks for the great review. I'm looking for a 13" laptop, a sturdy, allrounder performance oriented laptop or 2-in-1 for travelling and take to the office on a daily basis. I need speed and versatility. What would youbsuggest if i may bother you? I thought about tb e dell xpa 13 2 in 1 or the lenovo carbon. Thank you
Sorry for a little off-topic, but why hasn't there been a review of the Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+? Mobiletechreivew is usually quite fast to review such new phone releases....
It can be repaired. That's good. That's really good
Great video, thanks. That 7th gen for $899 you were talking about... Dell Australia want $3211 for that, and it only goes up from there to $5160 for the 16gb/512 model. WOW I'll stick with HP and their much lower Australia Tax. (even Microsoft is cheaper)
Hi Madam Lisa, Please could you do a review of Samsung Notebook 9 NP900X5T-X01US, Thanks.
Hey Lisa! Can you do a smackdown with the Surface Pro and others in the same class? I love my pro 4 and am looking to upgrade soon. Thanks!
This (Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1) vs the new Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet X1 (2018). :-D
Can I use this for video editing?
It's so expensive here in Australia, 3.6k AUD / 2.8k USD for the 8th gen base model. It doesn't even include the keyboard or the pen!
Why do these companies not just use surface keyboards?
no, Microsoft has said several time they are 100% for people copying the surface.
copying isn't the same as using their hardsare, also they make more money selling their own product then using microsofts covers
@MobileTechReview, what is the texture of the keyboard? I know you said it's a soft touch, but does that mean it's identical to the surface keyboard, that fake velvet feel? I'm looking to buy a system for someone who hates the texture of the surface keyboard...but likes the rest of everything about it. Turns out, Microsoft ONLY makes surface keyboards with that feel and not another type (as far as I've found).
If anyone has advice on another system that is similar to this, but without the velvet textured keyboard, please share! It just needs to have LTE sim capability. Thanks!
can you mix and match keyboards and pens? like could i theoretically get this with the microsoft keyboard and the samsung pen?
How does the pen latency compare to surface pro 6? From the video it seems slower than what I have seen on surface pro 6
With the 5290 and Acer Switch 5/7 midnight black, could you use a surface keyboard on them?
Can you review the IdeaPad 720s with Ryzen in it? Ryzen needs some love, and I think that's my next laptop
With the quad core in the same 15w package, how's the power throttling Vs the dual core in the Surface Pro?
fajne, nie wiem czy lepiej kupic 5300 czy 5290
Price point of this device is lovely. Sounds like a device that I really want to own for tech work purposes, since the core count is very much like the Macbook Pro 15's.
What should i buy Dell 5290 our dell x2 1012 g2..? which do you recommend.. please.

Hello: I just purchased a used Latitude 5290 2-in-1 and it has a 256GB SSD. Can I upgrade that to a 1TB M.2 SSD?
Thank you.😊
Loved the programming reference. What's the bandwidth on the optional Thunderbowl three connection? Does this machine have a fan?
It has a fan, we didn't get the TB3 option. so I wasn't able to check lanes for TB3.
Thanks. I’m sure I’ll find it posted somewhere.
4-Lanes, 40gb/s. That was the answer of my Question to the German DELL Support.

Hey Lisa, where do you shop your tees?
Which Dell Active Pen will be Used?.. Will U give Me link of Stylus....Plz
How to make sure to have the Thunderbolt 3 option? In Dell website it also tells is optional but in customize doesn't let you choose this. Thanks for your videos
Optional since the I7 is an optional upgrade. Confusing, yes. Dell's marketing team has never been the sharpest bunch when it comes to being clear and shraight-forward.
Is there sim card slot available in this laptop ???
Will you review the new 2-1 Asus ux461?
