Precision 5520 mobile workstation

The Dell Precision 5520 is a 15.6-inch mobile workstation built for professionals who need reliable performance in a portable chassis. It ships with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and includes an AC adapter. The system targets engineers, designers and analysts running CAD, simulation or content-creation workloads on the move.

Intel Core i7-7820HQ processor

The single specification that decides fit is the Intel Core i7-7820HQ running at 2.90 GHz with four cores and eight threads. This CPU delivers the multi-threaded throughput required for 3-D modelling, video editing and data analysis. Buyers who need more cores or higher clock speeds for sustained heavy rendering should consider a different platform.

16 GB DDR4 and 512 GB SATA SSD

The 16 GB DDR4 memory and 512 GB SATA SSD keep thermals moderate and fan noise low during typical office and design tasks. Solid-state storage eliminates mechanical drive noise and reduces power draw compared with a hard disk. The non-touch FHD panel and integrated webcam add minimal thermal load in normal use.
