Dell Latitude 15 3540 Review – Not for Designers but Here’s How to Make It an Office MVP
Nowadays, a lot of the standard devices for home or office usage are based on Intel 12th or 13th Gen hybrid CPUs with efficient and performance cores. These chips aren’t power-hungry and their performance is enough for normal work. The Dell Latitude 15 3540 is a device for unpretentious daily or business tasks. The manufacturer offers this machine with a large variety of processor options including Alder Lake and Raptor Lake 15W U-series chips. There is even a Celeron 7305 in the mix which may be a bit underpowered for some users since it has just one P core and four E cores.
If the iGPU inside the CPU isn’t enough for your needs, you can get the optional NVIDIA GeForce MX550. With it, you can play some Dota 2 or other light games after work or during the lunch break. The presence of a 768p TN display is a bit strange. Our advice is to avoid this panel and get the 1080p IPS model or the touchscreen variant with the same resolution (if money isn’t a problem).
The rest of the specs seem more or less usual for such a notebook – two 2W speakers, an optional fingerprint reader, an IR Web camera (option) as well as Wi-Fi 6 / E + Bluetooth 5.3, and eSIM functionality (which again will cost you an extra amount of money). The upgradability options are decent and the same can be said for the I/O.

I have used a 3540 with a Intel 1335u and 16Gb RAM for about a year now. Its not disappointing in any way, but it does not excel at anything either. Its a basic business laptop that has the basic down pretty good. It looks bland and cheap like a Inspiron does at the base models. Decent selection of ports, battery life good but not great, could have used a bigger capacity battery. Performance is good but it produces more heat then I would expect for a low powered CPU. Fan ramps up pretty good with multiple apps running. With… और पढ़ें »
