The all-black case looks premium, even though we would have preferred a stronger base plate. We can visibly twist it with little effort and it yields in the middle when we apply pressure with our fingers. Thankfully the casing around the display is more robust, although the display is visibly affected when we applied pressure to the display case. Despite this lack of rigidity, the case is certified to the US military standard MIL-STD 810G, which means that the Latitude 5590 should easily withstand daily work routine. The two display hinges work well and open to 180 degrees. The display cannot be opened one-handed because of the low counterweight of the base.
