Reviews for the Dell Precision 5000 5680
Dell's latest mobile workstation is one of its leanest and fastest yet mostly thanks to the new Nvidia RTX 5000 GPU. Performance-per-watt is excellent and we hope to see the 165 W USB-C AC adapter on more Dell models.

I like using the Dell Precision 5680 because it feels like a slightly bigger, beefier version of the elegant, streamlined laptops I've come to expect from Dell. With its easy-to-carry frame, big screen and strong performance it's probably the closest thing I've yet seen to an OLED-equipped Dell XPS 17, and it will be for the foreseeable future—or at least, until Dell decides to sell an XPS 17 OLED. But as much as I like the Precision 5680, it's hard to see a lot of cases where I'd recommend it to someone over another laptop. It can't last as long on battery or perform as well (at least in basic benchmarks) as Apple's MacBook Pros, it can't run games as well as the best gaming laptops, and its performance relative to other 16-inch 4K workstations we've tested this year is mixed.

Like its rivals, the Dell Precision 5680 is expensive—although the company tells us that 99 out of 100 Precisions are bought at corporate bulk discounts rather than the Dell.com prices we cite—but we're suckers for high SPECviewperf scores. If you can live with 64GB instead of 128GB of RAM, it's every bit the equal of the Lenovo ThinkPad P16—the latter has a higher-quality keyboard and touchpad along with two USB Type-A ports. However, the Dell Precision 5680 is considerably more portable, earning our Editors' Choice award among mobile workstations.

NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation Laptop: A super-powerful professional graphics card for use in laptops that sports 9,728 CUDA cores and 16 GB of ECC GDDR6 VRAM. Brought into existence in 2023, this graphics adapter leverages TSMC's 5 nm process (4N) and Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture to achieve great performance combined with reasonable power consumption. Hardware-wise, the RTX 5000 Ada is a GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop in disguise; consequently, both make use of the AD103 chip and have little difficulty running triple-A games at UHD 2160p. The Nvidia-recommended TGP range is modestly wide at 80 W to 175 W leading to noticeable performance differences between different systems powered by what is supposed to be the same graphics card.
These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.
