Decent display
robust and sturdy case
support for Microsoft s Precision standard the touchpad worked flawlessly
maintainability is still very decent
P52 can be individually configured and retroactively upgraded
build quality and workmanship were superb

This works very well for conference calls
Build quality Overall build quality seems excellent

native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors
light intensity of the backlight is not lowered
The speakers of this device are simply terrible - you can just mute them
go a lot higher than the base clock speed
- poor use of resources
The trackpad is not clickable
lag and stuttering
Quadro RTX is coming at some point
the bezels feel like their a bit too large
does not support touch and it's anti-glare
I snapped was a bit blurry and
poor battery life should be
battery life is very short
proprietary charging port also hides on the back edge
no internal backup to allow for hot swaps
not used to clicking separate buttons
a large folding tablet in place if a laptop
you will have to shut down the device before switching
its speeds are understandably much slower
unsurprisingly not as powerful as its bigger sibling
hard drive speed
stresses the CPU rather than the GPU to render a complex image
playing with toys and telling people what gear to buy
no flex in the screen or keyboard tray
Precision 5530 was just a bit off the pace
notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
screen shows slow response rates
inaccessibility of the cooling system
screen shows relatively slow response rates
This site uses Akismet to reduce spam
the trackpad is shifted slightly right
very old/inefficient hardware inside

lacks the multitude of configuration options that were available with Synaptics touchpads
bulky
heavy and expensive
GPU is not available with the Xeon processor option
3D performance and throttling
fingerprint sensor The touchpad was a bit of a disappointment at first
