Dell Precision 5540 Quick Review

[@cat_glove]

I've got one, its a beast, upgraded to the FHD display, and 1TB SSD as well as 64GB of Ram. I also had the issues with the fan kicking in and high temps. Turned out it was caused by Microsoft updates and solved by their updates too. The only downside I would say is that its a tad heavy and not portable at all unless you want a sore shoulder. I paid £500.

Good review. Just quick question, is it worth buying given a chance, and how much video rendering time it would take if I have to edit 1080p 20minutes video? Premier and DaVinci, Does this laptop works efficiently with this much thermal heat?

Just got this for $500 4k touch i7 and t1000 ,tech prices deflating like never before

What was your experience with it , it is good to buy?

[@8peterp]

@@gharbiskander2356 if you need the 4k screen yes ,there is nothing this quality for price ,same with build quality and sound but palmrest coated surface is probably sticky ,this is the only really annoying. proc and nvidia is a bit aged but still good buy of course for around 600

[@8peterp]

@@NBaa2123 GTA V yes ,Forza not the best. You'll need something with min. 3050 for faster games, same with rendering. T1000 is equivalent to gtx 1650

About the thermal issues yhat you've already mentioned, is it possible to reduce the heat by using cooling pad?

[@cat_glove]

Mine was sorted by MS Updates.

Is it worth to buy this Dell precision with core i9 9980HK or an Asus Vivobook with ryzen 7 7700U?

[@NBaa2123]

My company gave this as a work laptop. I know its a workstation not designed for gaming. Still I wanna know can i play less demanding games like NFS payback, NFS heat, fortnite, rocket league, GTA V ?

It shouldn't be an issue, but you may have to play certain games at lower resolutions.
