Latitude 7490

The problem isn't the RAM, it's your graphics card (UHD Graphics 620). You're officially below the minimum requirements for the game. Your Dell Latitude 7490 is a business laptop and not designed for gaming.I'm sorry to have to give you the bad news. 😕

ThinkPads are a poor choice for this specifically because some of the 8th gen models are considered "legendary" and are regularly talked about by online influeners. So like T480s are oldest officially to run 11 but they can be seen for $300+. IME standard retail 11 runs fine on 8th gen without needi

A random corporate ewaste laptop. Mine happens to be a Dell 7490 with 32GB RAM and i7. They are $100-150 on eBay.

8665U will probably do those things vine. The heaviest of webtech apps (Canva, most conferencing/communication apps these days) could struggle a little bit compared to something newer but stuff should basically run fine.

that 0.4ghz lock is classic BD PROCHOT triggering from a faulty sensor after that bios update. i had this on a 7490 at work. first try rolling back the bios if dell lets you downgrade - check their driver page for older versions. if not, download throttlestop and disable 'bd prochot' in the main win

Hi, thanks for the response and thoughtful questions. I run Windows and play mostly single-player RTS/strategy games, so don't need anything intensive for competitive online play. Coming from a 2018 Dell Latitude 7490 that struggled running 10 year old games and anything that's come out recently was

My guess is you'll outgrow the CPU in either of these machines before you outgrow any other part of it. The T480 is nearly a decade old and the P52 is... also nearly a decade old, but it's datasheet was updated more recently. As has already been mentioned these are wildly different machines. The oth

At any given time I'm running a pair a systems: a media-oriented desktop (Windows) and a developer-oriented laptop (Linux, until recently). The desktop has a 4k screen, nice speakers, discrete GPU, and I use it for all video (from YouTube to feature films), music, and games (GOG, Steam). Thanks to w

Use Windows IoT LTSC instead. Normal Windows will make your machine becomes unstable and laggy even on basic usage. I have a Dell 7490 myself and 24H2, 25H2 version cause lots of lags on my laptop
