Reviews for the Dell Precision 5690
The XPS-inspired Precision has been refreshed this year with the latest 14th gen Intel Core Ultra CPUs. There are unfortunately no new GPU options, but performance-per-volume is still impressive nonetheless.

The Precision 5690 is a true workstation despite its compact dimensions and low weight for a 16-incher. Since such a device is meant for long tasks, the performance here is key. The Core Ultra 7 165H maintains a 3.06 GHz / 2.50 GHz P and E core clocks and the core of the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU sustains a stable ~ 90W TGP. That’s more than enough for adequate performance no matter the load. The memory may be soldered but you can order this device with up to 64GB of LPDDR5x RAM. Well, if you need more memory you have to take a look for a machine with SODIMMs. On the other hand, you get two M.2 slots and Dell has a preapplied thermals pad on both sides of the SSDs.

Loaded mobile workstations are hellaciously expensive because they're built for jobs where their price is a rounding error in the eventual return. The Precision 5690 is no exception, though it's positioned one slot below the tippy top where gargantuan storage and error-correcting code (ECC) memory are required. The Dell Precision 5690 earns our Editors' Choice award among high-end mobile workstations for putting maximum power into a reasonably portable PC package.

I have to say the Dell Precision 5690 is an incredible laptop. It’s stacked with powerful components, crafted to help you design the next architectural wonder, a futuristic sports car, or the next top-selling AAA video game. Or if you’re a photographer or cinematographer, the laptop can carve through those big editing projects like a hot knife through butter. And when you’re not working hard, use that beautiful OLED display and punchy speakers to watch some of your favorite movies. Throughout the course of my testing, the Precision 5690 rarely faltered in performance. And I’m never going to say no to nearly 11 hours of battery life. If security is a major selling point, Dell offers several options to keep your data secure. It’ll cost you though. That’s one of the biggest drawbacks of the Dell Precision 5690.

NVIDIA NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU: 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.

Ultra 9 185H: The top-of-the-line Meteor Lake chip that debuted in December 2023. This 1st Gen Core Ultra processor has come to replace 13th generation Core chips; it has 16 cores (6 + 8 + 2) and 22 threads at its disposal. Its Performance cores, of which there are 6, run at up to 5.1 GHz while its Efficient cores, of which there are 10 (8 main cores plus 2 extra ones found in the Low Power Island) run at up to 3.8 GHz. The 8-core Arc GPU, just out of the oven, serves as the integrated graphics adapter - this runs at up to 2.35 GHz - and there is a bevy of other brand-new technologies on offer as well such as the integrated AI Boost NPU with two Gen 3 engines for hardware AI workload acceleration. vPro Enterprise and business-centric features such as the Remote Platform Erase are onboard as well. This laptop processors's "base" power consumption is 45 W, while its Turbo power consumption is not supposed to go over 115 W.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
