Case and Connectivity

Dell latitude 3190 Pentium Silver installs the Latitude’s components into a casing made of matte, black plastic. The surfaces have been roughened slightly. A rubber frame that should protect the device against bumps surrounds the base unit. The build does not give reason for criticism, but the stability has room for improvement. The base unit warps a bit too strongly in our opinion. Furthermore, the screen displays image distortions when only pressing the lid’s back lightly. The laptop does not have a maintenance hatch and the battery cannot be removed.

Dell latitude 3190 Input Devices

The Latitude comes with an unlit chiclet keyboard. The keys are slightly concave and have a lightly roughened surface. They feature a short drop and clear pressure point. The center yields a bit when typing on the keyboard, but that was not distracting in the test. The keyboard makes an overall very decent impression and is even suitable for frequent typing. The multitouch Click Pad has a surface area of approximately 10×5.6 cm, and thus it provides plenty of room for gestures. The pad’s sleek surface does not stop the fingers from gliding over it. The pad responds to inputs even in its corners. It has a short drop and clear pressure point.
