Dell Latitude E5520 Review

Dell launched not one but four new laptops, which are powered by the 2nd Generation Intel “Sandy Bridge” processors. The 14-inch Dell Latutide E5420 and 15.6-inch Latitude E5520 come equipped with a choice of dual-core 2nd Gen Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, an Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, and up to 500GB hard drive drive or a 128GB solid state drive.

Just as the other models of the series, the Dell Latitude E5520 is based on the Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset. It’s fast, reliable and it provides the perfect foundation for the power of the new Sandy Bridge processors. Speaking of processors, you have quite a few options. However, we recommend against choosing the Intel Celeron 925. Even though this particular Celeron (unlike its predecessors) is not a processor that you install just to make your computer work, it can’t even compare with the Intel Core i3 2310M. cheaps laptops.

Our test Latitude E5520 shipped with a large 9-cell battery that supplied us with a long life away from an outlet. In our rundown test, in which we disable power management, maximise screen brightness, enable Wi-Fi and loop an Xvid-encoded video, the notebook lasted 4hr 25min. You can get even more life away from an outlet if you substitute the DVD burner for a second Dell LATITUDE E5520 battery. This makes the Latitude E5520 desirable for field operations or basically any type of job where a power outlet isn't handy for long periods of time.

The other good news that makes all employers happy is the Dell Latitude E5520. Indeed, this laptop in the specialize for business people and having a friendly quality, Never think That a budget friendly laptop Will have a poor performance Because Dell Latitude E5520 is powered by Intel Core i5-2540M CPU, the which is a dual-core CPUs That has a 2.6GHz frequency, Hyper-Threading, and Turbo Boost. Is the best generation with similar laptops.

This Dell Latitude E5520 laptop is built for the new mobile business class with the durability, productivity, security and easy manageability you've come to expect from the Latitude E-Family laptops.

The redesigned Latitude E5520 is ideal for professionals looking for a budget-friendly mix of mobility and at-your-desk computing. You can suffer superb capability with a discretionary backlit keyboard, ideal for in-flight use or in low-light settings, and a far-reaching array of long-life battery options to assistance keep capability in full swing.

Dell speaks of a provisional launch of 15-incher on 1. March. This date should to meet the information Dell’s, despite the known problems with the Intel chipset. 8. March the latitude E5520, say the 13 inched of family and the E6420, especially robust version of the 14 Zollers follow. Intel Sandy Bridge CPU is consistently featuring the first notebooks. You will continue to offer also a Montevina base that is to recognize then by a trailing m (5xxxm).15.

The redesigned Latitude E5520 is ideal for professionals looking for a budget-friendly blend of mobility and at-your-desk computing. Ready for whatever your work might dish out, this highly durable laptop is stylishly armored top to bottom with a hard-wearing Tri-Metal design, including an anodized brushed aluminum display back, reinforced steel hinges, a magnesium alloy internal frame and zinc alloy latches. The Latitude E5520 is also equipped with a protective LCD seal, 360-degree bumper for added screen protection and a spill-resistant keyboard that can outlast the bumps and spills of everyday work.

Performance was excellent, with 3DMark06 and PCMark05 returning scores of 3482 and 7183 respectively. Even though this is a mid-level machine, it should chew through most business workloads thrown at it. Our review sample was supplied with the 97Whr, nine-cell Dell Latitude E5520 battery, and thus lasted a heck of a long time. With all power-saving features turned off, screen brightness and volume set to maximum and an XviD file played back in fullscreen, the battery held out for three hours and 55 minutes, admirable for a laptop of this power and size. Less arduous tasks will tax the battery less, and of course lower capacity batteries will offer less time.

The new Latitude also lacks a DisplayPort. Dell tried to push it as the business display solution for the last series of Latitude, but for this series we find more evidence of the consumerisation of business tech instead: an HDMI port. Another nod to how consumers are changing the business space is the single headphone/microphone jack, intended for use with iPhone-style headphones that include a microphone, but only use one 3.5mm jack. It's a fascinating design choice, but we'd still prefer dedicated jacks for flexibility.
