Performance scores
Where the Latitude 3590 stands
The Dell Latitude 3590 is a 2017 business laptop positioned in the ultra-budget tier at roughly $243, below the category median of $297. As with other 2016-2017 Latitude configurations in this comparison set, it carries an exceptional GPU outlier paired with a professional memory ceiling. The GPU score of 45.9 is nearly twelve times the category median of 3.8; the 64 GB memory ceiling is 60% above the median of 40 GB.
Graphics and memory: a dual surplus
The 3590's distinguishing feature is its combination of an exceptional GPU outlier with a professional memory ceiling. The GPU score of 45.9 places it in mainstream graphics territory — rare for a 2017 business laptop. The 64 GB memory ceiling, meanwhile, places it firmly in professional territory — enough for memory-intensive tasks like running multiple virtual machines or large datasets. For an ultra-budget business laptop, the combination is a real differentiator.
The age caveat
The trade-off is age. Eight years of service limits the remaining lifespan, even with a healthy GPU and memory ceiling. Buyers should plan for a moderate remaining service horizon. The low price is possible precisely because the hardware is no longer new.
Price trajectory
From its launch price to $243 today, the 3590 has depreciated to the flat tail of its curve. As a 2017 machine, the depreciation is essentially complete. The projected price two years out represents a slow drift toward the price floor.
How it compares
In the $230-$260 refurbished business range, the 3590 has few peers on the GPU axis. The Dell Latitude 5590 at $241 and the HP EliteBook 850 G5 at $237 are direct competitors from the same era. None of them match the 3590's combination of mainstream GPU and professional memory ceiling — its defining advantage at this price tier.
Bottom line
The Latitude 3590 is a 2017 business laptop that combines an exceptional GPU outlier with a professional memory ceiling. At $243, it offers mainstream-tier graphics and professional multitasking capability that no competitor in its band can match. The trade-off is age — eight years of service limits the remaining lifespan. For buyers who need a cheap, capable laptop with usable graphics and memory headroom, the value proposition is exceptional.
