About this deal

After all, it was intended for that in the first place. Once again, we doubt that any of you reading this review will be purchasing this device, but if your company happens to give it to you as a workhorse, don’t ask for another one – it is snappy, it is secure, and it can do the job for the near future. Intel SME Study Disclaimer: Based on a 2018 survey of small business owners in five countries. Details here intel.com.au/smestudy

Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode. Dell covers the Precision 3520 with a one-year warranty, though also offers its business-focused ProSupport service plans as optional add-ons. CPU Compromises Upgraded keyboard: The larger edge-to-edge keyboard, keycaps and 10% larger touchpad make typing and navigation easier than ever.

You work at BID, what a legend.

In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering. All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location. Experience seamless Wi-Fi. ExpressConnect automatically joins the strongest access points in the office and prioritizes bandwidth for conferencing applications, wherever you work. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light. Dell Optimizer extends runtime and improves battery performance by adapting to your patterns and charging up to 80% in an hour.

The maximum measured brightness is 348 nits (cd/m2) in the middle of the screen and 321 nits (cd/m2) average across the surface with a maximum deviation of 11%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen and at maximum brightness is 6610K (average) – almost matching the 6500K optimum for sRGB.

IDC Whitepaper “Optimizing Performance with Frequent Server Replacements for Enterprises” commissioned by Dell Technologies and Intel, March 2021. Results are based on interviews with 18 IT practitioners and decision makers at midsize and large enterprises and a web survey of 707 IT practitioners and decision makers at midsize and larger enterprises using Dell Technologies server solutions across 7 industries. See full whitepaper: https://www.delltechnologies.com/resources/en-us/asset/white-papers/products/servers/server-infrastructure-resiliency-enterprise-whitepaper.pdf This section provides links to articles about diagnostics and the various error messages, beep codes and Diagnostic LED codes that can help to troubleshoot potential hardware and software issues on your system. Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day. The 15.6” Full HD Anti-Glare display on offer with the Dell Latitude 3520 has been optimised for readability and immersion. The narrow bezels facilitate unhindered focus as you concentrate solely on the task at hand, while the stunning clarity of the screen brings your text and images to life with vibrancy. The anti-glare coating helps to maintain your productivity when working in less the optimal lighting conditions such as when outside or on public transport.

In terms of display options, it is a bit disappointing that Dell still offers a 768p TN panel as a default. It is strongly advisable that you stay away from it, and go for the IPS variant. We got the non-touch option, and it is a pretty budget-friendly offering, as you will see later on. Dell Latitude 15 3520 comes with a Full HD IPS panel, model number Panda VNCT2-156DL02 (NCP0057). Its diagonal is 15.6″ (39.62 cm), and the resolution – 1920 х 1080p. Additionally, the screen ratio is 16:9, the pixel density – 142 ppi, their pitch – 0.18 x 0.18 mm. The screen can be considered Retina when viewed from at least 60 cm (from this distance, the average human eye can’t see the individual pixels). Interestingly, even when the Performance mode is applied from BIOS, the processor can’t seem to pass the 3.00 GHz mark under extreme load. Thankfully, it maintains a relatively high frequency after long periods of time. Comfort during full load Terms Apply. Promotion ends 3 December 2023. Items are subject to availability. Max 5 units per customer. With Intel® Adaptix™ Technology, prioritize your most important apps, so they open faster and perform better.

Apart from that, there are some pretty sweet features like the wide I/O, which may not include a Thunderbolt 4 connection, but offers a USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2×2). This provides a 20Gbps speed, which is twice as fast as the USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port. Plus, the story on the inside is similar with two SODIMM memory slots, and an M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage.

As a general-purpose business laptop, the Precision 3520 is an excellent performer, recording a class-leading score of 3,539 on our all-encompassing PCMark 8 productivity test, which simulates everything from videoconferencing to spreadsheet editing. It's also good at video encoding, matching the Xeon-powered HP Zbook Studio's time of one minute and four seconds on our Handbrake video encoding test. But its Intel Core processor is significantly slower than the HP when it comes to manipulating images in Photoshop: It took three minutes and 47 seconds to complete the same tasks that the HP finished in 3:02.
