MagyarDell Latitude 15 5510 laptop review: Office notebook with prepared WWAN
The devices of the Latitude series are designed for office users and offer more or less extended business features depending on the price range. Hence, the rather simply equipped Dell Latitude 3400 costs around 600 Euros (~$700), whereas a Dell Latitude 5500 can cost more than 2,000 Euros (~$2,343).
The Dell Latitude 15 5510 is placed in the mid price range and costs 1,100 Euros (~$1,290). It offers an Intel Core i5-10310U with an integrated UHD Graphics 620 as well as 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. With these specs, the Dell laptop has to compete against the rivals listed below. Below each segment, additional laptops can be added to the comparison.

Case - Robust office laptop made of plastic
Dell manufactures the Latitude 15 5510 from durable plastic. The processing is clean and offers a comfortable feel. We couldn't find any uneven gaps or similar issues. The screen is held firmly in its adjusted position by two hinges and can be folded back up to 180 degrees.
The Dell notebook is slightly thicker than the other laptops in our comparison. In terms of the remaining dimensions, it ranks second.
Connectivity - Fast microSD card reader and good maintenance possibilities
The Dell Latitude 15 5510 offers many connections. There is an unoccupied bay for a WWAN module just behind the SIM bay and the USB type C port can be used to charge the device. The latter also offers DisplayPort functionality. There is a mains connector as well but since the shipped AC adapter has a USB type C connection, it is only an additional option for users who already own a compatible power supply.
SD card reader
The card reader of the Latitude 15 5510 reaches very good transfer rates with our reference memory card Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-II. Thus, it leads the comparison field with 170 MB/s and 189 MB/s for copying and reading data, respectively.

Webcam
The webcam of the Dell Latitude 15 5510 offers the widely used but still very low 0.9 MP. The test shots with the ColorChecker Passport show that colors are captured too bright. The test chart is also only blurred even in good lighting conditions.
Security
Dell equips the Latitude 15 with several security features. In addition to TPM 2.0, users can also use a smart card reader and a fingerprint sensor. The webcam can be closed with a mechanical shutter.
Accessories
The Dell Latitude 15 5510 comes with the laptop itself and a suitable USB type C power supply. Other general notebook accessories can be purchased from the manufacturer's website.
Maintenance
The base plate can be removed after all the screws have been loosened. Users can then access the two RAM bays and the main storage. There is also the option for a SATA drive but only as a replacement to the M.2 storage since both components cannot be used together. Next to the WLAN module there is a prepared space for a WWAN module. The corresponding antennas are also already installed in the housing.
Warranty
Dell offers 12 month of warranty for the Latitude 15 5510. However, this can be extended for a fee.
Input devices - Dell laptop with point stick
Keyboard
The keyboard of the Latitude 15 5510 offers a two-step background lighting and is protected against splash water. When typing, the relatively small keys provide a good pressure point and give the fingers a firm grip. The Enter key is a bit small, but the separately realized keys Pos1, End, Del and Ins are on the plus side.
Touchpad
Users of the Latitude 15 5510 can choose between a touchpad with separate mouse buttons and a point stick with its own mouse buttons. All mouse buttons provide a distinct pressure point and offer a comparatively deep hub. Both the pad and the stick are well suited for mouse pointer navigation.
Display - Full HD screen offers good contrast
The Latitude 15 sports a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel with 1920x1080 pixels. The brightness is only sufficient for indoor use with its 258 nits and illumination is very low at 74%.
From a brightness value below 90%, the display also flickers at a frequency of 1,000 Hz, which is due to PWM. This could cause problems for users with sensitive eyes.

Our measurements attest a good contrast ratio of 1,613:1 and a low black value of 0.16 cd/m². Thus, colors appear well separated from each other and black image content appears deep and rich.
The CalMAN analysis shows a good calibrated panel from the factory with only minor color deviations.
Outdoors, the Latitude 15 5510 should only be used in shaded places with a straight view of the screen. In strong light or less straight viewing angles, the brightness of the screen is too low to display image contents clearly.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 1000 Hz | ≤ 90 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 1000 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 90 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 1000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19019 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
The IPS panel of the Dell Latitude 15 5510 has stable viewing angles. Image contents can be viewed from almost every angle without being distorted or displayed with falsified colors.
Performance - Performance drop under load
The Latitude 15 5510 is aimed at users who are searching for sufficient performance for everyday use. Hence, the Dell offers enough performance for various office tasks and simple image-editing tasks as well.
Processor
Our SKU is equipped with an Intel Core i5-10310U. It has four cores and clocks between 1.7 and 4.4 GHz. However, the cooling system is largely responsible for how long high frequencies can be maintained. Our Cinebench R15 loop shows that the performance of the Latitude 15 5510 slowly drops with increasing duration.
In the individual tests, the Core i5-10310U can hold its own against laptops with a Core i7-10510U, but it has to admit defeat against AMD's Ryzen processors, especially in terms of multi-core performance.

Graphics Card
An Intel UHD Graphics 620 is responsible for displaying contents on the screen of the Dell Latitude 15 5510. This GPU only qualifies for simple graphical applications and profits from RAM in dual-channel mode. Our test unit only offers single-channel RAM, which is why there is potential for improvement.
Results in the 3DMark benchmarks are at the lower end of our test field and only the Acer TravelMate P215-52 has an even lower score in 3DMark 11. The performance of more graphics cards can be compared in our GPU benchmark list.

Temperature
Our measurements attest the Latitude 15 surface temperatures of up to 46.2 °C under load. But this value is only reached directly above the air outlet, which is why the Dell laptop can be nevertheless placed on the lap without problems.
During our stress test for about an hour, temperatures in the case reach up to 76 °C. Right from the start, clock rates drop down to around 700 MHz and therefore clearly below the base clock rate. Until the end of the test, clock rates rise again and stabilize at around 1.5 GHz, which is also below the base clock of 1.7 GHz. Hence, users must expect system performance to drop significantly under longer loads.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 46.2 °C / 115 F, compared to the average of 34.2 °C / 94 F, ranging from 21.2 to 62.5 °C for the class Office.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 35.5 °C / 96 F, compared to the average of 36.7 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 27.2 °C / 81 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 28.6 °C / 83.5 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.8 °C / 82 F (-0.8 °C / -1.5 F).
Speakers
The speakers of the Latitude 15 5510 offer a medium volume and a sound spectrum focused on the higher tones. Thus, voice contents can be played back in quiet environments. But for media contents and music, users should connect external speakers or headphones.

Verdict - Latitude 15 5510 scores with long battery life
The Dell Latitude 15 5510 is a solid office laptop with many optional features. This includes a smart card reader as well as the free space for a WWAN module with already prepared antennas. The input devices are suitable for writing longer texts, at least after some getting used to. For mobile users, the long battery life could be an argument, since it is very good with 10.5 hours in our Wi-Fi test.
With the Latitude 15 5510, Dell offers a solid office notebook with many business features.
Also on the plus side are the fast WLAN transfer rates and the fast microSD card reader. However, users who want to work outdoors are most probably going to be disappointed by the low brightness. Basically, the Latitude 15 also offers good maintenance possibilities, which means that the RAM can be extended and the mass storage device can be exchanged. The latter can be done via M.2 bay or SATA port, but unfortunately, these ports can't be used at the same time.
