The Dell Latitude 15 3540 is suitable for office or home usage because of the comfortable keyboard and the optional PWM-free IPS display (AUO MCX7D-B156HAN (AUO4599)). The latter has wide viewing angles and a good contrast ratio. The sRGB coverage and the color accuracy are nothing to write home about but that’s fine since the laptop isn’t meant for content creation of color-sensitive work. We bought a machine with the top-end CPU option for the series which is the Core i7-1355U. During long max loads, the Team Blue chip can maintain 2.37 GHz for the P cores and 69°C temperature which is good enough for normal tasks. The fan isn’t quiet but it’s not too noisy either. By the way, the overall performance of our machine is a bit limited by the fact that there is just one 8GB RAM stick installed that works in a single-channel mode.

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.
