Also, unlike the Dell laptop’s chassis, which is made of plastic, this chassis is made of aluminum. It also weighs 2.8 Lbs., making it much lighter than the Dell G5 15 5590, which weighs 6.13 Lbs. It’s as slim as it is due to having a solid state drive instead of a traditional hard drive, and it only has Thunderbolt ports. This slim, space gray laptop has very little room for loose components to travel within the chassis. If you need a good laptop with a long battery life, then check out our Apple Macbook Air 13.

This assortment of ports consists of only two Thunderbolt ports.

The battery life of this laptop is about 12 hours before it has to be recharged, similarly to the Dell Latitude 7490 laptop.
