Nice video , but I wish you make us a video talking in details about the actual built differences between the Precision & the XPS lines !.........THANK YOU Bsian.
Is there a big difference between the i7-11850H and i7-11800H? All I’ve seen is vPro, don’t know how that really works and if I would need that. There’s a decent price difference between these two.
Not much difference between the 11850 and 11800H besides the Vpro, if your organisation doesn't run Vpro infrastructure you can save the money and go with the i7-11800H. Vpro is for remote management of the computer used by the IT department.
I had a Precision 5550 last year, and it also throttled the CPU very badly in heavy sustained loads. Having changed my job, now I have to choose between Precision 5560 and Apple Macbook M1 Pro 14 inch. Bit confused and checking out all the latest reviews from bsiandad... good review as usual
Is your applications run on the M1 Mac? If so go with the 14" Mac I think you my find it does a bit better for longer sustained loads the 5560 still has bad throttling unfortunately. The Precision 5760 is a bit better since it has the improved thermal solution if you don't mind going 17ïnch.
@@BsianTech thank u for ur reply.. i run IT operations, so may have to run virtual machines etc.. not sure M1 supports all devops tools. Intel macs had windows support too.. I think Asus gaming laptops will have better thermal performance than these ultraportable workstations. As always, keep making such excellent reviews. People like me love ur channel.
Could you please pull the volume slider to 100% and check it corresponding Windows system sound appears distorted? There's a known crackling problem with these machines. Thanks for the review.
Hi @S 20 plus just tested the speakers on a bunch of default Windows system sound in the Sound control panel at 100% Volume level and I didn't hear any crackling or distorting of the sound from the Precision 5560 unit I have here. Just to let you also know that the sound test in the speaker section of the review video is recorded when the speakers were set to 100% volume level. I will make sure in the next video I add that caption in it.
I have been waiting to buy Dell Latitude 15 9000 series mainly because of its compact size. Dell has not upgraded its Latitude 9000 series with Intel 12th till date. Do you think Dell is going to phase out latitude 9000 series and concentrate more on 7000 series ? In that case I would look elswhere.
If you are doing a lot of computing or Machine learning or long sustained high workload then I would suggest the 7560 for performance but the 5560 is good for it's display and weight.
@@BsianTech i use laptop for adobe after effects animation. Currently i use dell precision 7510 which is working fine. But i think these latest precision laptops will work faster.
Not directly, Dell does include a DA20 adapter which is a USB-C to HDMI and USB-A which does provide you the ports to connect the Precision 5560 to monitor or TV.
Is there any precision laptop with a 360 degree hinge? Do you recommend buying a precision now or waiting for next year because of the DDR5 and the 12th gen Intel processor? And when do they usually be released every year?
I think there is going to be very interesting Precision line up next year. Don't expect a new Precision till mid next year as the performance processors don't get release till early mid year.
One of the worst “professional” devices. Driver issues, no ports really no Ethernet on professional grade laptop??!! Throttles hard like below base clock or base clock after 5 mins. My MacBook Air is noticeable y faster all around, I know it’s not right comparison but dell fix it!!
Great review. May I ask if you/anyone has found typing for long periods problematic due to the large trackpad? Why does it even need to be do big?? I have a MacBook Pro atm and running windows via boot camp (as an engineering MSc student) so looking to replace with with the Precision 5550 or latitude 9420. It’s mostly for medium size spreadsheet work and other office work with some building modeling. I really want it to be as silent as possible as most if the time it’ll be under relatively low strain. My Mac is basically silent most of the time + I need write quite a lot so a unusable keyboard is crazy. Thoughts 💭 🙏
Hi @Paul Swell, I personally find the Latitude 9420 a better laptop over the Precision 5550/5560 but since you are after the discrete graphics for the building modelling you be more pointing towards the Precision 5550/5560. If you do have a bit of money to go for the latest then I would highly suggest the Precision 5470 over the 5550/5560/5570, knowing it has the cooling solution closer to the 5760/5770. You can put the Latitude and Precisions in quiet mode in the power thermals in the Dell Power manager and you find that it will barely spin the fan too much.
Hi, A sincere thank you for replying :).Your expertise is very much appreciated. May I ask what you prefer about the 9420? I watched your review and was actually going to buy it. Well designed (similar to MacBook pro) runs cool, and perhaps most importantly has a normal size trackpad and reportedly a nice keyboard. Although I do some building modelling (DesignBuilder) it is not the only task as I do as do lot of office work ( a lot of word and excel) and I was thinking the Intel Xe would prob cope ok. The thing which concerns me is the thermal throttling, it seems very odd. I wonder if Dell support can do anything about this? Realistically I will not buy brand new from Dell directly, but rather from an outlet (like Europc) with attached Dell warranty as its better value. Therfore, the Precision 5470 is probably out of my budget (£2000) as the 5470 is too new for resale of cancelled Dell orders. It does look like the trackpad on the 5470 is a normal size (although i cant find the dimension anywhere), although I do wonder if the 5470 keyboard is as poor as the 5560 is reported to be. Keep up the brilliant work.
I currently have a 5540 on loan from my workplace's IT department. I'm still using a 5510 and it's getting wonky, crashing a lot, fan running hard etc. The 5540 has a glossy screen which I absolutely hate. The 5510 is matte and I love it. How in the heck do you know what type of screen you will be getting when you order a new laptop from Dell? I've scoured their spec pages for multiple models/sizes etc. and can't find anything that tells you if the screen is matte or glossy. I have the opportunity to order the new 5570 but am afraid to pull the trigger because I can't tell what type of screen I will get. It does look like "FHD" 1080p MIGHT be matte and the "UHD" 4K screens would be glossy but I'm not 100% sure??????
Hi @BullyG, the glossy screen are usually the 4k displays or the 2-in-1 for pen supported laptops. Here is easy way to work out which is matte and which is glossy as the spec sheets from Dell is very annoyingly keyed. From my experience and it seems to be the way for Dell under the display options when you see "Anti-glare vs glossy finish" heading, Anti-glare = Matte finish, Anti-Reflection = glossy finish. I hope that helps you out.
@@BullyG1 As far as ive seen, all touchscreen models are glossy. Doesnt necessarily mean that no-touch screens are matte, but 90% of the time, they are. And also, do you think it is worth upgrading to 5570 from 5560?
Learnt from Dell that the 5560 and 5760 do have different cooling solutions which explains one of the results I got which you see in a future video soon.
