Dell Precision 5510 Review: Premium grade mobile workstation

Dell Precision 5510 detailed review

Dell’s Precision 5510 is a high-powered mobile workstation with a Xeon server-grade processor and NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics. The notebook has an aluminium brushed metallic finish that looks as well as feels premium with just the Dell logo on it. Pretty chic and sturdy, premium through and through with a high-quality metallic finish. The 15-inch laptop despite sporting a metal body doesn’t weigh a lot at 1.7 kg and is quite light to carry around, which is impressive given the notebook’s hardware. 

The display of this laptop is one of the key highlights, sporting a 4K resolution i.e. 3840 x 2160 with 10 point multi-touch. It has wide viewing angles, good colour reproduction, high contrast ratio, 100% sRGB and Adobe RGB colour gamut that makes it outstanding. Great for video and multimedia, audio isn’t too bad either – it’s loud and clear up to the 80% level. 

The Precision 5510’s HD webcam is placed awkwardly near its screen hinge, but it works well. The backlit keyboard has island-style chiclet keys, which is good to type on. Its trackpad has a plain matte texture which provides good feedback. This machine isn’t for the average consumer, meant for professional, hardware-intensive tasks like 3D simulation, modelling, raw video editing and animation tasks. It’s not an ideal gaming machine, but meant for specific industry tasks. If you can afford it, we highly recommend it.
