Dell Latitude 5550 review – Near-Silent Office Machine with Modern Port Selection
The Dell Latitude 15 5550 is a business machine that is very similar to the Precision 15 3590 in terms of design and specs. The 5550 version can be found with twelve different CPU versions (yes, 12!). So, you choose among a plethora of chips including 15W Raptor and Meteor Lake-U, or 28W Meteor Lake-H series processors. The 4GB GeForce RTX 2050 is the only dGPU variant. The upgradability is great, you get a pair of SODIMMs and Gen 4 NVMe slots. The port selection is modern, you can rely on four USB connectors alongside HDMI 2.1.
Just like many other Dell office machines, tons of goodies are optional. You have to stretch your wallet if you need features such as an IR camera, NFC, fingerprint reader, Nano SIM functionality, SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) SSD, or a SmartCard reader. Still, you get a lock slot, a privacy shutter, and a dTPM 2.0 as standard security extras. The connectivity seems alright for the class – Wi-Fi 6/E + Bluetooth 5.3.
This device isn’t a top-tier one so you don’t get high-res display. Three anti-glare 1080p IPS panels are available and one of them supports a touch function.

Drivers
All drivers and utilities for this notebook can be found here: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/latitude-15-5550-laptop/drivers
What’s in the box?
The package contains a bit of paperwork and the laptop itself. You get a 60W, 65W, or 100W Type-C adapter depending on the CPU and GPU power.
Design and construction
Yep, the Dell Latitude 15 5550 can be easily mistaken for the Precision 15 3590. The laptop looks like a standard business device. It’s made of a mixture of plastic and carbon fiber. The starting weight of 1.62 kg is okay for a 15-incher while the profile is a bit thick – 20.80 – 22.80 mm.
You can’t open the lid with one hand and you can flex it moderately. The base seems rigid, the zone below the keyboard can be bent a bit if you push it hard but that’s not an issue when you use the laptop for standard work.
The top and bottom bezels aren’t narrow while the side ones are. A 1080p HDR Web camera with a privacy shutter is placed above the screen. You can opt for an optional IR unit for Windows Hello that comes with features such as Presence Detection and Intelligent Privacy.
This laptop can lay fully flat on an even surface.
The backlit keyboard with a NumPad is very comfortable for long typing sessions. The well-sized and spaced grippy keycaps offer long travel and clicky feedback. The Power button in the top right corner has a optional built-in fingerprint reader. You also get a Copilot key and hard-to-press Up” and “Down” Arrow keys.
The small touchpad (115 x 67 mm) is suitable for work but nothing impressive. On the positive side, the clicks are almost silent and the surface is smooth. Still, the overall accuracy is average at best.
On the bottom of the laptop, we can see a small ventilation grill above the cooling fan, three rubber feet, and two speaker cutouts. The heat is pushed through three vents – one on the left, and two on the back that point towards the desk.
Ports
On the left, there are two 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 ports with DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery capabilities, and an optional SmartCard reader. The optional Nano SIM card slot is on the rear. On the right, you get a security lock slot, LAN, an HDMI 2.1 TMDS, two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) pors (the former supports the PowerShare function), an Audio combo jack, and a MicroSD card slot.
Display and Sound Quality, Get our Profiles
Dell Latitude 15 5550 is equipped with a Full HD IPS panel, model number LG Display M97YF-156WFC (LGD0764). It comes with a 60Hz refresh rate. Its diagonal is 15.6″ (39.6 cm), and the resolution – 1920 x 1080p. Additionally, the screen ratio is 16:9, the pixel density – 142 ppi, and their pitch – 0.18 x 0.18 mm. The screen can be considered Retina when viewed from at least 60 cm (this is based on the pixel density and the typical viewing distance at which individual pixels cannot be distinguished by the human eye).
Viewing angles are good. We offer images at different angles to evaluate the quality.
Also, a video with locked focus and exposure.
The maximum measured brightness is 295 nits (cd/m2) in the middle of the screen and 278 nits (cd/m2) average across the surface with a maximum deviation of just 12%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen and at maximum brightness is 7140К.
In the illustration below you can see how the display performs from a uniformity perspective. The illustration below shows how matters are for operational brightness levels (approximately 180 nits) – in this particular case at 75% Brightness (White level = 180 cd/m2, Black level = 0.16 cd/m2).
Values of dE2000 over 4.0 should not occur, and this parameter is one of the first you should check if you intend to use the laptop for color-sensitive work (a maximum tolerance of 2.0). We measured a good contrast ratio – 1120:1.
To make sure we are on the same page, we would like to give you a little introduction to the sRGB color gamut and the Adobe RGB. To start, there’s the CIE 1976 Uniform Chromaticity Diagram that represents the visible specter of colors by the human eye, giving you a better perception of the color gamut coverage and the color accuracy.
Inside the black triangle, you will see the standard color gamut (sRGB) that is being used by millions of people on HDTV and on the web. As for the Adobe RGB, this is used in professional cameras, monitors, etc for printing. Basically, colors inside the black triangle are used by everyone and this is the essential part of the color quality and color accuracy of a mainstream notebook.
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 yellow dotted line shows Dell Latitude 15 5550’s color gamut coverage.
Its display covers 52% of the sRGB/ITU-R BT.709 (web/HDTV standard) in CIE1976, and 41% of DCI-P3.
Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature at 180 cd/m2 luminance (Illuminant white point – D65), sRGB encoding curve.
We tested the accuracy of the display with 24 commonly used colors like light and dark human skin, blue sky, green grass, orange, etc.
Below you can compare the scores of the Dell Latitude 15 5550 with the default settings (left), and with the “Gaming and Web design” profile (right).
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.
The left side of the image represents the display with stock settings, while the right one is enhanced with the “Gaming and Web Design” profile activated. On the horizontal axis, you will find the grayscale, and on the vertical axis – the luminance of the display. On the two graphs below you can easily check for yourself how your display handles the darkest nuances but keep in mind that this also depends on the settings of your current display, the calibration, the viewing angle, and the surrounding light conditions.
Response time (Gaming capabilities)
We test the reaction time of the pixels with the usual “black-to-white” and “white-to-black” method from 10% to 90% and vice versa (these terms refer to the time it takes for pixels to change from one color to another (black to white and back to black in this case), a shorter time reduces picture blur with fast moving images).
We recorded Fall Time + Rise Time = 21 ms.
After that, we test the reaction time of the pixels with the usual “Gray-to-Gray” method from 50% White to 80% White and vice versa between 10% and 90% of the amplitude.
Health Impact: PWM (Screen flickering)
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is an easy way to control monitor brightness. When you lower the brightness, the light intensity of the display is not lowered, but instead turned off and on by the electronics with a frequency indistinguishable to the human eye. In these light impulses, the light/no-light time ratio varies, while brightness remains unchanged, which is harmful to your eyes. You can read more about that in our dedicated article on PWM.
Dell Latitude 15 5550’s display doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment. This makes the screen pretty comfortable for long periods of use.
Health Impact: Blue light emissions
Installing our Health-Guard profile not only eliminates PWM but also reduces the harmful Blue Light emissions while keeping the colors of the screen perceptually accurate. If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin, and your whole body. You can find more information about that in our dedicated article on Blue Light.
Health Impact: Screen Reflectance
Glossy-coated displays can be inconvenient in high ambient light conditions due to reflections. We measure the screen reflection level for each laptop when the display is turned off and the measurement angle is set at 60°.
The reflectance of the Latitude 5550’s screen is 52.1 GU.
High Gloss: >70 GU
Medium Gloss: 30 – 70 GU
Low Gloss: <30 GU
Sound
Dell Latitude 15 5550’s speakers produce a sound of relatively good quality. However, the low, mid, and high tones all have some slight deviations from clarity.

In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.
Office Work
Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.
Design and Gaming
This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.

Max CPU load
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.
Average P-core frequency; Average E-core frequency; Average LP E-core frequency; CPU temp.; Package Power
| Intel Core Ultra 7 155U (15W Base Power) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dell Latitude 15 5550 | 4.09 GHz @ 3.39 GHz @ 1.88 GHz @ 70°C @ 57W | 2.74 GHz @ 2.35 GHz @ 1.20 GHz @ 66°C @ 26W | 2.15 GHz @ 1.87 GHz @ 1.1 GHz @ 66°C @ 20W |
Here, the optional Core Ultra 7 155U can maintain impressive clocks in short loads, high ones in medium stress, and decent frequencies in longer periods of 100% CPU poundage. The temperatures are always in check.
Comfort during full load
Now it’s time for some good news – the fan remains near-silent when the CPU is doing the heavy lifting in “Ultra Performance” mode.
If you use this device for 3D rendering (with Core Ultra 7 155U), you can expect around 42°C in the middle of the keyboard and close to the back exhaust vents. The hot spot is located around the “Home” key and it reaches 44°C. That’s fine, the whole keyboard deck feels warm to the touch, but not hot.
The “Optimized” mode offers a bit lower noise levels and clocks compared to the “Ultra Performance” preset.
“Ultra Performance”
OptimizedBattery
Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Best Power Efficiency setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 180 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. The 54Wh battery lasts for around 8 hours and a half of video playback. To achieve that, you have to apply the “Best Power Efficiency” preset in the Windows “Power & Battery” menu and select the “Optimized” power plan in the Dell Optimizer app.
Brightness: 180 nits; Display Mode: SDR
Time to Full Discharge: Higher is Better
Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance
To open this notebook, you have to undo 8 captive Phillips-head screws. Pry the areas behind the hinges with a lever tool to open gaps around these sections. Work your way around the rear, the sides, and the front with a thin plastic tool.
Here’s how the bottom plate looks on the inside.
This laptop is equipped with the optional 54Wh battery, the default model has a capacity of 42Wh. To remove it, detach the connector from the mainboard and undo the 5 Phillips-head screws that fix the unit to the chassis. The optional capacity is enough for around 8 hours and a half of video playback.
On the left of the memory slots, we can spot the WWAN slot for optional LTE or 5G connectivity. According to Dell, the two SODIMMs support up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM in dual-channel mode. However, since the CPU can support up to 96GB, this laptop likely wouldn’t have issues running a larger amount of memory than the official manufacturer’s specified limit. Keep in mind that the Core Ultra-based machines rely on 5600 MHz memory while the others have 5200 MHz modules.
The Wi-Fi card is placed above the SODIMMs. There are two M.2 slots compatible with Gen 4 NVMes – one for 2230 or 2280 and one for the shortest 2230 SSDs. A metal shroud that is fixed to the motherboard with two Phillips-head screws covers the left slot. We found a small thermal pad beneath the cap.
The cooling system looks fine for an iGPU-only device. It comprises one fan, a pair of long heat pipes, one side-mounted heatsink, and a heat spreader.
Verdict
The Dell Latitude 15 5550 is a competent business laptop. It boasts great comfort even when the CPU is under heavy stress – the fan is nearly silent, the keyboard doesn’t feel hot to the touch, and the performance is adequate. The cooling allows decent CPU clocks even when the processor is pushed to its limits. The keyboard is great for work and the overall chassis rigidity seems nice.
The upgradability makes this laptop future-proof – two SODIMMs plus two M.2 Gen 4 slots. It’s kind of strange that Dell has preinstalled a metal shroud with a thermal pad for the empty SSD slot while the system NVMe isn’t additionally cooled. This leads to higher temperatures of 77°C during benchmarking. The port section is superb – four USB ports and HDMI 2.1.
The display is suitable for long hours of usage since the panel is PWM-free and has wide viewing angles. The color coverage isn’t spectacular but that’s okay for a business device that isn’t meant for content creation. Some of the useful features like an IR Web camera and fingerprint reader are optional.
The Latitude 5550 is a competent office notebook with good battery life, a PWM-free IPS display, very good comfort under load, and a nice keyboard.

Does the paint look robust? I have the 5440 here, with the same chassis, I take extreme care of it and yet the paint on the lid edges, along with some of the keys on the keyboard are fading away!!
No it is not. I have the 5550 since january and the slightest contact with anything leads to scratches and chipping of the paint. After two months it already looks way worse than the Elitebook it replaced after 6 years, and this thing was not handled very carefully.
Also Battery Life on the 5550 in practice is abysmal. Even with all the energy savings i get maybe 2-3h with moderate load. My old laptop did more like 6-8h with the same usage scenario, and that thing has a 6 year old battery and a 6 year old cpu…
