  • 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...

  • 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
