日本Dell Latitude 3550 review – A Workable Option with Quirks
Dell offers a wide range of business machines. The Latitude 3550 isn’t among the most expensive ones but it has enough power and features for home usage or hybrid employees who are constantly on the go. You can find this device with 13th Gen U-series CPUs or with 15W Core Ultra chips. If you don’t need the NPU unit and the two additional LP E cores, the Raptor Lake processors are still adequate for work and they cost less (or at least in most cases).
The presence of a 768p TN display could raise a few eyebrows. Yes, these panels still exist even in 2024. Avoid this screen, unless your budget is extremely low. The 1080p IPS model is suitable for normal usage because of the much wider viewing angles. There is also a touchscreen with the same resolution which is expectedly the most costly variant of the three.
The upgradability is fine thanks to the two SODIMMs and the port selection isn’t bad at all for the class. Like many other Dell devices, most of the cool features are optional. You have to pay more for an IR Web camera, bigger battery, fingerprint reader, backlight, and WWAN slot. Still, the Wi-Fi 6/E + Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity is adequate as well as the dimensions of this 15.6-incher.

Drivers
All drivers and utilities for this notebook can be found here: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/latitude-15-3550-laptop/drivers
What’s in the box?
Inside the box, we found a bunch of manuals, the laptop itself, and a 65W barrel plug charger. Some devices are bundled with a 60W or 100W Type-C adapter.
Design and construction
The Latitude 3550 has the typical Dell design with a boxy shape and rounded corners. The plastic body has a nice texturized finish which provides a good grip but it also picks up fingerprints with ease. The starting weight is 1.81 kilos which is okay for this kind of form factor. The 18.13 – 20.40 mm profile thickness sounds standard.
The lid can’t be opened with one hand and its rigidity is a bit disappointing. You can easily bend it in the middle and when we tried to twist the unit on purpose, we saw a lot of color shift on the display which isn’t good. Contrary to that, the base is solid. You can see flexes in the zones below the touchpad and the Arrow key but this only happens when you press down hard these areas.
The top and bottom bezels are slightly thick-ish while the other two are thin.
The upper bezel houses a 720p Web camera. For an extra amount of money, you can get a 1080p or 1080p IR unit. Both offer HDR capabilities. The privacy shutter is a default feature for all machines.
The opening is almost completely flat.
The keyboard with a Copilot shortcut has big keycaps with good travel (not the longest though) and clicky feedback. We are happy to see a NumPad which could be useful for people whore do a lot of calculations daily. The backlight is optional as well as the fingerprint reader that is built into the power button. The only notable downside of the board is the small “Up” and “Down” Arrows.
The plastic touchpad is small (115 x 67 mm) but it’s surprisingly smooth. The accuracy is average.
The bottom plate is business as usual – a 2-row ventilation grill, four rubber feet, and two speaker cutouts. The heat is pushed through two vents on the rear. The one on the bottom aims at the desk while the upper one points towards the lid and that’s why some hot air reaches the display during heavy CPU loads.
Ports
On the left, there is a power port (for the machines with a barrel plug adapter), an HDMI 1.4 (for the devices with 13th Gen CPUs) or an HDMI 2.0 (for the Meteor Lake-U-based notebooks), a 5 Gbps USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port with PowerShare function, a 20 Gbps USB4 / USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port with Power Delivery and DisplayPort capabilities, and an Audio combo jack. We can spot a Lock slot, LAN, and a pair of 5 Gbps USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports on the right. Some devices are also configured with a SIM card slot but our laptop lacks this feature.

Color Coverage
The whole “sail-shaped” map below (Fig. 1) consists of all the colors we can see, while the black crooked line shows all the colors from real-world scenes and nature around us.
Then, we’ve drawn some of the most important and interesting color spaces, compared to the colors the panel of Dell Latitude 3550 can show:
Standard/For Web: sRGB – widely used color space for most consumer devices, ideal for Web design and development
For Print: AdobeRGB – used in professional photo editing, graphic design, and print
For Photographers/Video Editors: DCI-P3 – used in high-end film production, post-production, and digital cinema
Premium HDR: Rec.2020 – the widest consumer ITU color standard, covering a massive 75.8% of the visible spectrum, a benchmark for premium HDR content
Dell Latitude 3550: the yellow dashed triangle (– – – – – –) represents the range of colors this monitor can display.
In our tests, we calculated the total color coverage of the monitor at 52% of the sRGB color gamut and 41% of the DCI-P3 color gamut.
(Fig.1) Dell Latitude 3550 covers 52% of the sRGB gamut
Brightness and Contrast
The maximum brightness in SDR mode is 282 cd/m² in the center of the screen and 261 cd/m² averaged across the surface with a maximum deviation of 10%.
The Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) on a white screen at maximum brightness is 6540K.
The contrast ratio is 1180:1.
Uniformity: Luminance, Contrast, and Color Deviation
The figure below shows the results from our uniformity test across different sections of the screen. It’s measured at 181 nits (Windows slider = 61%) — a brightness level we consider typical for standard working conditions.
DeltaE values below 4.0 are acceptable for regular users. For those working with colors, screens with DeltaE values no higher than 2.0 are recommended.
Color Accuracy
Let’s check the difference between real colors and those you’ll see on the Dell Latitude 3550. We measure that distance in DeltaE – the higher the number, the more different they look.
Values below 4.0 are acceptable for regular users, while values below 2.0 are suitable for color-sensitive work. A value below 1.0 means the difference is indistinguishable to the naked eye.
For the next graph, we’ve selected 24 common colors, including dark/light skin, blue sky, green grass, etc.
Before our calibration of the Dell Latitude 3550, the Average color accuracy was 7.6 dE (Fig. 2), and with our Design and Gaming profile, it lowered to 4.0 dE (Fig. 3).

Visibility in dark scenes
Have you ever watched a movie with dark scenes where you could barely see anything? This often happens because many display panels struggle to differentiate the darkest nuances, making them appear the same.
The next figure illustrates how well the display reproduces these dark nuances. The left side of the image shows the display with stock settings, and the right side shows it with our Design and Gaming profile activated.
On the horizontal axis are the grayscale levels, and on the vertical axis – the corresponding display brightness.
You can also check how your display handles the darkest nuances but keep in mind that this also depends on the settings of your current display 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.
We recorded Fall Time + Rise Time = 22.0 ms. Short pixel response time is a prerequisite for a smooth picture in dynamic scenes. In the specific case, the reaction time is not short.
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)
Some use PWM to regulate their brightness, which means that instead of reducing the light intensity, they pulse or flicker. Our brain merges the image, so it appears darker, but this strains both it and our vision, especially when the frequency of the pulses is low. You can read more about that in our dedicated article on PWM.
In the graph below, you see the intensity of light at different brightness levels—on the vertical axis is the brightness of the emitted light, and on the horizontal axis—time.
The light from the backlight of the Dell Latitude 3550 display is not pulse-width modulated, providing visual comfort in the discussed aspect.
Health Impact: Blue light emissions
Installing our Health-Guard profile not only eliminates harmful PWM when the laptop uses it to control brightness but also reduces 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 cause eye fatigue in high ambient light conditions due to reflections. We measure the level of screen reflection with the display turned off, at a 60° angle.
The reflectance of the Dell’s screen is 51.4 GU.
High Gloss: >70 GU
Medium Gloss: 30 – 70 GU
Low Gloss: <30 GU

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.

Storage performance
The SSD of our notebook is the 512GB Samsung BM9C1.
It offers decent read speeds but inconsistent write performance. Despite reaching 72°C during testing, thermal throttling doesn’t seem to be the culprit. That’s why we’ve ensured that the drive is cooled down before each benchmark run of Crystal Disk Mark but in the end, we saw noticeable write spikes.

The Core i5-1335U can sustain decently high clocks in short and medium loads which is enough for normal home or office tasks. In the long run, the chip can boost to around 2.00 GHz / 1.60 GHz for the P and E cores which is a good score, especially considering the basic cooling with one heat pipe.
Comfort during full load
During heavy CPU stress in “Ultra Performance” mode, the noise that is coming from the single fan is average.
The hotspot on the keyboard reaches 42°C which feels just warm, not hot. The zone on the base above the back exhaust is heated up to 47°C and the lower display bezel close to the same spot hits 41°C.
The noise in “Optimized” mode is lower because of the hindered processor clocks which are still okay for work.
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 9 hours 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 laptop, you have to undo 9 captive Phillips-head screws. The two in the top corners are captive and they’ll lift the panel up which makes the whole disassembly a lot easier. Use a lever tool to pop the back in the zones behind the hinges. Then, fully pry the rear as well as the sides and the front.
Here’s how the bottom plate looks on the inside.
This machine machine has the optional 54Wh battery. The base model is a 42Wh variant. To remove it, unplug the connector from the mainboard and undo the 5 Phillips-head screws that secure the unit to the base. The capacity is enough for around 9 hours of video playback.
Since our laptop has a 13th Gen CPU, the two SODIMMs fit up to 64GB of DDR5-5200MHz memory 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. The Core Ultra iterations can handle 5600 MHz RAM.
For storage upgrades, there is just one M.2 slot compatible with Gen 4 NVMe drives. Here we have a 2230 SSD with a metal bracket but you can also install a standard 2280 unit. We found a tiny thermal pad below the NVMe drive. The 2280 units will be additionally cooled by a second pad located slightly in front.
The Wi-Fi card is placed in the lower mid-section of the motherboard.
The cooling is pretty basic. It comprises one fan, a decently long heat pipe, a heat sink, and a heat spreader.
Verdict
The Dell Latitude 3550 is a standard office workhorse. In our case, the performance is adequate even with a Core i5-1335U combined with just a single 8GB RAM stick. Despite the modest-looking cooling, the processor offers 3.30 / 2.40 GHz and 2.00 / 1.60 GHz P and E-core clock in short and long loads which is okay for daily usage without experiencing system slowdowns.
The upgradability has its good and bad side. The good one is the pair of SODIMMs. Sadly, the single M.2 slot could be a limitation factor for some users. Also, the QLC SSD (Samsung BM9C1) has inconsistent write performance and some program installations took more time than usual.
The 1080p display (5NG4M-B156HAN (AUO3892)) is all you need for normal work. It has wide viewing angles and a decent contrast ratio. The color coverage is low which is somehow expected for this price class.
The Latitude 3550 is a solid offer thanks to the good overall performance, the PWM-free IPS display, the good input devices, and the long battery life.
