DELL Precision 5510 15.6" FHD i7-6820HQ 2.70GHz 8GB DDR4 180GB SSD

Mobile workstation for professionals

The Dell Precision 5510 is a 15.6-inch workstation-class laptop built around an Intel Core i7-6820HQ running at 2.70GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 180GB SATA 2.5-inch SSD, running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. The non-touch FHD panel at 1920x1080 includes an integrated webcam for video calls.

Practical limits of SATA storage and memory

The 180GB SATA SSD offers faster boot and load times than a mechanical drive, but its capacity fills quickly with large project files or media libraries. The 8GB DDR4 configuration handles typical office and light creative workloads, yet heavier rendering or virtualisation tasks will hit the memory ceiling and require an upgrade.

Straightforward upgrades with one catch

The 2.5-inch drive bay and SODIMM slots are accessible after removing the bottom cover, so storage and memory swaps are routine. The sealed battery and soldered CPU mean those components cannot be changed, and the slim chassis leaves little room for additional cooling if sustained loads run hot.
