Dell Precision 17 5770 – Top 5 Pros and Cons

    Despite Dell not shaking up their Precision devices’ design for some time, they are still some of the sleekest and best-looking laptops we have seen. The Dell Precision 17 5770 takes a lot of inspiration from the neighboring XPS series, with a two-material approach.

    When compared to an XPS laptop, the Precision has access to high-performing H-series Alder Lake processors, along with professional-grade graphics, which are a vital factor if you want to use the laptop for 3D Model work, Animation, or any type of CAD work.

    Today we present you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Dell Precision 17 5770.

    Dell Precision 17 5770: Full Specs / In-depth Review


    4 reasons to BUY the Dell Precision 17 5770

    1. Design and build quality

    The laptop takes great advantage of its thin aluminum and carbon fiber chassis. It has a thickness of around 19 mm, which isn’t the best, especially when you see the advertised profile of 13 mm. Overall, the laptop is sturdy and well-built, with next to no flex from the body. The lid opens with one hand, revealing a keyboard with no NumPad, surrounded by two very large speaker grills. For a 17-inch laptop, the 2.17 kg weight seems fitting.


    2. Upgradeability

    There is decent upgradeability, with two RAM slots that here house DDR5 modules, for up to 64GB of memory and two SSD slots that fit Gen 4 drives.

    Here is our detailed teardown video, which shows how to access the RAM and Storage slots on the laptop.


    3. Display quality

    The laptop has 16:10 displays, with both mainstream and enthusiast display options. The base configuration has an FHD+ IPS display while you can also opt-in for a 4K UHD+ IPS display. For a change of pace, we decided to see what the 4K panel offers, and it is truly spectacular. The panel has the great viewing angles associated with IPS panels, while also reaching a peak brightness of over 500 nits. It also fully covers both the sRGB and AdobeRGB gamuts, while showing 98% DCI-P3 coverage.

    The laptop offers good color accuracy with the sRGB profile inside Dell PremierColor and with our Design and Gaming profile. Here are the results with the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right).

    Office Work

    Office Work is voornamelijk bedoeld voor gebruikers die de meeste tijd besteden aan het bekijken van teksten, tabellen of gewoon surfen. Dit profiel streeft naar een betere onderscheidbaarheid en helderheid door een vlakke gammacurve (2.20), native kleurtemperatuur en perceptueel accurate kleuren te behouden.

    Design and Gaming

    Dit profiel is bedoeld voor ontwerpers die professioneel met kleuren werken, maar ook voor games en films. Design and Gaming haalt het uiterste uit beeldschermen, waardoor ze zo nauwkeurig mogelijk zijn in de sRGB IEC61966-2-1 norm voor Web en HDTV, met witpunt D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard elimineert de schadelijke Pulsbreedtemodulatie (PWM) en vermindert het negatieve Blauwe Licht dat onze ogen en lichaam beïnvloedt. Omdat het op maat gemaakt is voor elk paneel, slaagt het erin de kleuren perceptueel accuraat te houden. Health-Guard simuleert papier zodat de druk op de ogen sterk wordt verminderd.

    4. Battery life

    The 97Wh unit on the inside has enough juice to sustain the Core i7-12700H, lasting for 14 hours and 43 minutes of Web browsing, or 9 hours and 44 minutes of video playback. Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits, and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.


    1 reason NOT to buy the Dell Precision 17 5770

    1. I/O

    The laptop has high coverage, with four Thunderbolt 4 ports, however, there aren’t any Type-A ports, so you would likely need dongles for screen mirroring or projection, file transfers, and other tasks. On the other hand, we see an audio jack and an SD card reader.
