Here comes the latest 14-inch Inspiron convertible. Its full name is Dell Inspiron 14 5491 2-in-1 – something that takes as long to pronounce as it is for a Target worker to wake up from its mid-isle nap. Nevertheless, this is a device that bears no significant changes to its predecessor on the outside.
However, the most notable one is the hardware and more precisely – the CPU choice. Instead of the Whiskey Lake that Dell was fast to introduce more than a year ago, now we see a Comet Lake processor. Of course, you have a choice of sticking with the lowest-budget Core i3-10110U that has two cores and four threads or go for twice the core/thread count with either the Core i5-10210U or the Core i7-10510U.
The maximum measured brightness is 234 nits (cd/m2) in the middle of the screen and 202 nits (cd/m2) average across the surface with a maximum deviation of 14%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen and at maximum brightness is 6460K (average) – slightly warmer than the 6500K optimum for sRGB.
Dell Inspiron 14 5491 2-in-1 has a Full HD IPS display, model number Chi Mei N140HAC-EAC (CNM14D4). Its diagonal is 14″ (35.56 cm), and the resolution – 1920 Ñ… 1080. Additionally, the screen ratio is 16:9, the pixel density – 157 ppi, their pitch – 0.161 x 0.161 mm. The screen can be considered Retina when viewed from at least 56 cm
On the left side, you will see the power plug, followed by a USB Type-C 3.1 (Gen. 1) with PowerDelivery enabled, an HDMI 1.4b port, two USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1) ports and an Audio Jack. On the right, there is a single USB Type-A 2.0 port and an SD card reader.
the lid requires the use of two hands to open and the hinges are way too stiff at basically any point. On the bright side, there is little to no flex on the lid even when you give it a hard time. Also, let’s not forget that this device has a fairly large footprint for its screen size.It is a little too heavy for a 14-inch 2-in-1. On the bright side, the mostly aluminum chassis provides excellent support and feels sturdy both on the base and on the lid.
