日本Dell Precision 15 7560 – Top 5 Pros and Cons
When it comes to workstation laptops, you can hardly beat Lenovo’s ThinkBooks and ThinkPads or the ZBook series from HP. That hasn’t stopped Dell from trying, but they seem to be late to the party, bringing a notebook with Tiger Lake in a world where Alder Lake is closer and closer with every passing day.
The Precision 15 7560 brings some old-school features to its design in a market that strives for constant innovation. However, while external appearances matter, maybe a touch of old fashion is what we need while keeping the insides new and powerful.
Today we are presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Dell Precision 15 7560.
Dell Precision 15 7560: Full Specs / In-depth Review
4 reasons to BUY the Dell Precision 15 7560
1. Design and build quality
The laptop is built like a tank, with an aluminum lid and bottom panel, making for a pretty durable and sturdy construction. The base is made of rubberized plastic, which results in a grippy surface. The sides have a very appealing brushed aluminum texture, while the lid is matte. In terms of dimensions, the laptop is plenty chunky, sporting a profile of 27 mm at its thickest point, while weighing 2.49 kg, more than some gaming laptops.
The lid opens easily with one hand, revealing a display with thin bezels and a very equipped base. It has a grill above the keyboard, which houses the speakers. The keyboard comes with a backlight, well-sized keycaps, long key travel, and clicky feedback. All around, it is a great unit that will be comfortable in any situation. The touchpad is surprisingly small, but its accuracy is second to none. It also has three physical buttons.
2. I/O
The chunkiness doesn’t stop there, as the I/O is on point as well. The thick sides are filled with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports, a 3.5 mm audio jack, a Mini DisplayPort 1.4, an HDMI 2.1 connector, a LAN port, an SD card reader, and a SmartCard reader.
3. Upgradeability
The upgradeability is superb, which brings tears of joy to our eyes. First of all, we see a service door, which is accessible with a single screw. If you want to get more hands-on with the device, you have to remove the whole bottom panel, which reveals two SODIMM RAM slots, two M.2 PCIe x4 slots, and an optional SIMcard tray.
Furthermore, there are two more RAM slots hidden behind the keyboard. However, accessing them requires removing the bottom panel as well. From there, you disconnect the ribbon cables for the backlight and the keyboard. After some more prying and more screws, you are greeted by the two SODIMM slots.
Here is our detailed teardown video, which shows how to access both the RAM and SSD slots.
4. Battery life
The large space inside allows for a large 95Wh battery unit. Despite the powerful 45W Tiger Lake CPU, the laptop lasts for 16 hours and 23 minutes of Web browsing, or 11 hours and 51 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 15 7560
1. PWM Usage
The laptop has a great display for productivity and creativity, however, there is a large glaring issue with it. The 144Hz Full HD IPS panel has excellent viewing angles, a max brightness of 440 nits, 99% sRGB coverage, and 98% DCI-P3 coverage.
The accuracy is quite poor with the stock settings but gets better after we apply our Design and gaming profile. In the sRGB color space, we got a dE value of 2.0. However, with a quick adjustment to a D65 white point in the DCI-P3 color space, we managed to get the dE value even lower to 1.1. Here are the results of our color accuracy test with the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right).
Results – sRGB space
Results – DCI-P3 space with D65 white point
Lastly, the panel uses PWM across all brightness levels, but the max setting, which will drain the battery quicker, if you care for your eyes. The pulsations are at a low enough frequency so that it will be tiring for your eyes. You can apply our Heath-Guard profile to completely eliminate the issue.

Genom att köpa LaptopMedias produkter stödjer du inte bara effektiva och hälsovänliga profiler utan även utvecklingen av våra laboratorier, där vi testar enheter för att kunna göra så objektiva recensioner som möjligt.
Kontorsarbete
Office Work bör främst användas av användare som tillbringar den mesta tiden med att titta på textstycken, tabeller eller bara surfa. Den här profilen syftar till att ge bättre tydlighet och klarhet genom att behålla en platt gammakurva (2,20), ursprunglig färgtemperatur och perceptuellt korrekta färger.
Design och spel
Den här profilen riktar sig till designers som arbetar professionellt med färger, även för spel och filmer. Design and Gaming tar skärmpaneler till sina gränser och gör dem så exakta som möjligt i sRGB IEC61966-2-1-standarden för webb och HDTV, vid vitpunkt D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminerar skadlig pulsbreddsmodulering (PWM) och minskar negativt blått ljus som påverkar våra ögon och vår kropp. Eftersom den är skräddarsydd för varje panel lyckas den hålla färgerna perceptuellt korrekta. Health-Guard simulerar papper så att trycket på ögonen minskas kraftigt.
