One final aspect to discuss here regards the laptop’s underbelly.
And yes, you can wipe them clean with a piece of cloth and moist tissues, but you’ll actually have to do it a few times a day if you’re as OCD as I am. The finishing is similar to that on the XPS 13, but because the palm-rest is larger, the smudges are a lot more visible. However, the soft interior shows smudges and finger-oil like nothing else. It’s actually a pleasure to lean your wrists on it while typing and the front edge or the corners are friendly, unlike on other razor-thin machines out there. The interior is made from a soft-coated carbon-fiber material and it feels really nice to the touch. On the other hand, it does a great job at keeping the display in place, with minimal wobble even when you pinch and touch it, cause don’t forget there’s a touchscreen on this machine. Based on my experience with the XPS 13 it won’t loosen in time, so that’s an aspect that might bother those used to softer hinges. You’ll drool all over it from the moment you’ll take it out of the box, but once you’ll try to lift-up the screen, you’ll notice you’ll need both hands for it, since the hinge is tight. Let’s talk about how this laptop actually feels in daily use. And third, they age well, as long as you’re aware that the aluminum exterior can scratch and treat it with care.

Dell pioneered these lines with the XPS 13 9343, and as someone who’s been using one of those since its launch in early 2015, I can tell you three things. Solid sheets of metal cover the lid and the belly, sandwiching a carbon-fiber made interior. On the outside, the Precision 5510 is both beautiful and toughly built.

DELL PRECISION 490 PROBLEMS PORTABLE
Unlike other similar devices, this one is thin and light, while it still packs an excellent display, an Intel Skylake Xeon processor and Nvidia Quadro graphics, tucked inside an aluminum and carbon-fiber shell that only weighs 4.4 lbs.Īll these do come with a hefty price tag, but if you need a powerful, yet portable enough to easily carry around, computer for graphics related works, this Precision 5510 should be on your list.
