  • High price, Rivals are more powerful, No internal access
  • The Precision offers solid performance and high quality in almost every department. The Core i5 processor and Quadro GPU are good, the screen is bright and has reasonably accurate colours, and the Precision is sturdy and ergonomically sound. Its battery l...

  • Yes. In all the ways that matters, it's an excellent mobile workstation that provides outstanding performance and promises superior stability. If you'll be doing any work with 4K video, though, you'll want to be sure to select the 4K display option when p...

  • Premium all-aluminum build with carbon fiber base, Thin, light, portable chassis, Good input devices, Excellent IPS display (conditionally suitable for color-sensitive work) – high peak brightness, extremely high contrast, wide sRGB coverage, The panel do
  • The cooling system can't withstand heavy workloads for long periods of time (near 100% CPU and GPU usage), Pricey
  • The Dell Precision 5520 checks almost all boxes for a professional 15-inch workstation. Using the base principles of the XPS lineup, the Precision 5520 is one of the most portable and well-designed workstations we've ever come across. With the use of high...

  • Abstract:  Dell's Precision 5520 is one of the very few laptops to offer a Linux distribution as a pre-installed operating system. Another is Dell's XPS 13 Developer Edition, which offers great performance in a compact size. For people wanting something a little mo...

  • CPU thermal throttling under sustained multi-core operation, display color coverage does not live up to quoted statistics, relatively hot and somewhat loud under load, mediocre battery life, dual-storage is only possible with smaller 56 Wh battery, incon
  • Some sacrifices are to be expected when dealing with a workstation of this size; after all, the 5520 weighs barely over 2 kg and carries a footprint closer to that of a 14-inch machine. Apart from the CPU constraints, the Precision also becomes quite warm...

  • Sleek and stylish design and build, Great performance overall, Thin profile, without compromising on ports
  • Default configuration still leverages a hard drive
  • The Precision 5520 provides users with a combination of luxury features (i.e, slim profile, stunning display) paired with specs that stand up very well to other mobile workstations in its class...

  • Awkwardly placed webcam

  • Incredible specs for a laptop, Great 4K touchscreen, Solid keyboard with great travel, Includes an SD card slot
  • Very expensive, Not exactly thin or light, Carbon-fibre wristpad gets as grubby as its XPS cousin, No support for Windows Hello
  • We're always a little dubious about the idea of an “anniversary edition” anything, because special edition devices need to be just that: special. Maybe we're just skeptical, but a new paint job or a different casing shouldn't necessarily denote what's spe...
