Performance scores
A Ryzen PRO office box with no graphics story to tell
The Latitude 5495 is a 2019 business machine: a Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U with 32GB of memory and integrated graphics only, asking $252 — fifteen percent below the business-class median of $297.36. Its measurements describe a straightforward office tool with two honest reservations: performance at 26.8 runs thirty-five percent below the class median, and reliability at 28 is thirty-four percent below.
What it is, plainly
There is no discrete GPU in the listing and the graphics reading of zero reflects exactly that — the flag sheet is empty, and no gaming claim of any level is being made here. What the machine offers is the PRO-branded Ryzen platform, 32GB of memory for comfortable multitasking, and the Latitude keyboard-and-dock tradition. That is the entire, honest product: a typing-and-browser machine for someone who does not need more.
The two reservations
Performance at 26.8 against a median of 41.48 is a low-band reading — the 2500U was an efficient part, not a fast one, and the placing has not improved with age. Reliability at 28 versus 42.5 asks for the same battery-and-service caution any seven-year-old business laptop deserves. Both numbers are consistent with the ticket; neither is a reason to walk away if the use case is light.
Price trajectory
From a $1,300 anchor the machine has decayed to $252 — nineteen percent retained — at 8.45% per year, projecting $211 in two years. The remaining depreciation is small in absolute terms; this is a machine whose value has already found its floor.
Against the alternatives
HP's EliteBook 745 G6 at $280 and Lenovo's ThinkPad L490 at $271 sit above; the ProBook 645 G4 at $232 and EliteBook 735 G5 at $220 below. The 5495 sits in the middle of a dense budget-business bracket where all the rivals offer comparable office platforms — the deciding factors are chassis condition and RAM, not benchmark deltas.
Bottom line
A budget-friendly pick for light office duty with a 32GB memory cushion and no graphics ambitions. Buy it for the keyboard and the RAM; respect the low-band performance and reliability readings by pairing it with light expectations and a backup routine.
