Photographers who work with print and video editors need a higher colour gamut to accurately edit their media. While the ultraportables we usually test sports excellent colour coverage in the sRGB colorspace, workstation laptops, especially high-end ones, need to aim farther. It’s not OLED, but the Precision 5550 sports a 4K HDR display. This presents a better perspective of the caller.
Despite its razor-thin bezels around the display, Dell still stuck the webcam in the top bezel. Webcams are now an essential work tool for the folks working remotely. Although they’re far from studio-grade, it suffices for an impromptu movie binge or a conference call. They’re loud for a laptop, but sound tinny and lacks bass. The speakers fire from the top and bottom. One potential downside to this (as with many other devices) is that your lap can block the underside grills, thus obstructing air intake. The two fans in the top corners of the device pull air inwards from the bottom grill and expel them from the rear vents. On the right side, the single USB-C port is paired with an SD card reader and a 3.5mm combo audio jack.Īlthough the port selection seems a bit short, Dell does toss in a USB-A and full-size HDMI combo adapter. There are three USB-C ports on the device, two of which are on the left side. Underneath is an absolutely massive glass trackpad.Ī fingerprint reader resides within the power button. Inside is a full-size ANSI backlit keyboard flanked by front-facing speakers on either side. The matte interior presents a strong contrast to the shiny exterior. It uses aluminum and carbon fibre to set a dual-tone color scheme. The Dell Precision 5550 is basically the workstation variant of the Dell XPS 15. Premium performance and premium design have a price tag to match.ĭell Precision 5550 Specifications Deviceģx USB-C, 1x SD card reader, 1x 3.5mm combo audio jack.The keyboard area gets hot when the laptop is under load.Compact for a 15-inch laptop and is easy on the eyes.Powerful hardware that won’t churn under heavy loads.Stunning 4K HDR display, excellent color gamut coverage and brightness.
Paired with a solid keyboard and a fantastic trackpad, the Precision 5550 is a stunner. It does a good job at keeping its hardware cool, but the heat can make typing a bit uncomfortable under heavy workloads. Its powerful internals can keep up with medium to heavy editing on the go while looking sleek. The Dell Precision 5550 meets all the needs of a content creator in an impressively portable body.
