    few weeks ago I purchased a new Dell 7490 with new generation processor 10th i5 10210U and mx250 graphics card and faced a number of problems when using this laptop.

    1 Battery life is no more than 5-6 hours at medium load (browser) and medium brightness.

    2 Screen is too dark to watch movies.

    3 It is impossible to play a game on it because the metal is heating around the keyboard and it is impossible to touch the keyboard.

    4 When playing the sound to the maximum, a crackling speaker is heard.



    1 and 3, the problem was half solved by undervolting the processor (- 0.94) and the video card (784v at 1400mhz) also reduced turbo boost to 2.6 ghz and replaced thermal past to Grizzly, but still hot. 2 and 4 The problem is not yet solved for me
