Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Laptop Review

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Picture

The Dell Precision 5560 (2021) is a 15.6 inch mid-range mobile workstation. It sits between the lower-end Precision 3000 series and the higher-end Precision 7000 series in Dell's lineup, and it replaces the Precision 5550 model from 2020 with Intel 10th Gen CPUs and NVIDIA Quadro T1000/T2000 GPUs. The Precision 5560 is mainly an internal upgrade as the outer design looks almost identical to its predecessor. The CPU gets an upgrade to Intel 11th Gen, and there are also new GPU options, the NVIDIA Quadro T1200 and RTX A2000. The USB-C ports now support Thunderbolt 4, and the storage slot supports PCIe Gen 4 SSDs.

Our Dell Precision 5560 has an Intel Core i7-11800H CPU, an NVIDIA Quadro T1200 GPU, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage. You can also configure the laptop with an Intel Core i5-11500H, i7-11850H, i9-11950H, or Core Xeon W-11955M CPU. There's only one other GPU option: the NVIDIA RTX A2000. The memory is configurable up to 64GB, and you can choose between non-ECC or ECC memory; however, the ECC memory is only available on models with an Intel Core Xeon W-11955M CPU.

Our Verdict

The Dell Precision 5560 is good for school use. It's a well-built laptop with a thin and light design that makes it easy to carry around. The keyboard feels comfortable to type on all day, and the touchpad is large and responsive. The 1080p display is decently sharp and gets bright enough to combat glare, and you can also upgrade to a 4k panel if you want even sharper text and images. The battery lasts about nine hours of light productivity, which is enough to get through a typical school day, though you might still need to plug it in if you perform more intensive tasks. Its Intel CPU and dedicated NVIDIA GPU are powerful enough to handle demanding workloads, like graphic design or 3D animation.

  • Sturdy aluminum chassis.
  • Easy to carry around thanks to thin and light design.
  • Display gets bright enough to combat glare.
  • Comfortable keyboard and responsive touchpad.
  • CPU and GPU can handle demanding workloads.
  • Battery lasts around nine hours of light productivity.
  • No USB-A or HDMI port.
  • Mediocre webcam video quality.

Although the Dell Precision 5560 isn't a gaming laptop, it's still decent for gaming. Its Intel CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs are powerful enough for 1080p gaming, though you'll have to lower some settings in graphically demanding titles to get smooth gameplay. Unfortunately, you can only configure the laptop with a 1080p or 4k 60Hz display, and both panels have a slow response time with no variable refresh rate support to reduce screen tearing. Also, it gets hot under load.

  • No thermal throttling on GPU.
  • Fast storage drive.
  • Relatively quiet fans under load.
  • 60Hz display with slow response time and no VRR support.
  • Keyboard gets hot under load.
  • CPU throttles under load.

The Dell Precision 5560 is good for media consumption. It's portable thanks to its thin and light design, and its battery lasts around seven hours of video playback, enough time to get through a couple of full-length movies. You get a bright and colorful 1080p display with good color accuracy out of the box, and you can also upgrade to a 4k display if you want even sharper images. Unfortunately, although the speakers sound full and get very loud, they cause a buzzing sound at higher volume levels. Also, its IPS display isn't ideal for dark room viewing as it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks appear gray in dim settings.

  • Battery lasts around seven hours of video playback.
  • Speakers sound full and well-balanced.
  • 4k display option with full DCI P3 coverage.
  • Terrible color accuracy out of the box.
  • Blacks look gray in dim settings.
  • Display doesn't support touch input.

The Dell Precision 5560 is a great workstation. It's available with Intel 11th Gen CPUs and discrete NVIDIA GPUs, which are powerful enough to handle demanding workloads like graphic design, 3D animation and modeling, and video editing. It has a fast SSD for quick file transfers, a comfortable keyboard that you can type on all day, and its memory and storage drive are user-replaceable. However, it gets hot under load, and there's some thermal throttling on the CPU.

  • Thunderbolt 4 support.

The Dell Precision 5560 is good for business use. It feels well built, and it's easy to carry around thanks to its thin and light design. It has a comfortable keyboard, a large and responsive touchpad, and a display that gets bright enough to combat glare. The battery lasts a little less than nine hours of light productivity, so depending on your workload, you might have to plug it in for a quick charge to get through the day. Its Intel CPU performs well and can handle demanding workloads like large number-crunching in Excel. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any USB-A or HDMI port, and the webcam's video quality is mediocre as the image looks soft, underexposed, and noisy.

Compared To Other Laptops

The Dell Precision 5560 is a great workstation that stands out for its thin and light design and sturdy build, as well as for the quality of its keyboard and touchpad. However, there are newer laptops with more powerful CPUs and GPUs, like the newer Dell Precision 5570 and the Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2021) with Apple silicon.

The Dell Precision 3571 (2022) and the Dell Precision 5560 (2021) are both mobile workstations from the same lineup; however, the 5560 is a mid-range model, while the 3571 is an entry-level model. The differences between them have to do with the physical aspect of the laptop and the user experience. The 5560 has a sleeker and thinner design, a better keyboard and touchpad, and longer battery life. Performance-wise, the 3571's Intel 12th Gen CPUs perform better than the 5560's 11th Gen processors, but the 3571's thermally-limited chassis also causes more throttling.

The Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2021) is better than the Dell Precision 5560 (2021). Although both are premium devices, the MacBook Pro 16's build feels sturdier overall. The MacBook Pro 16 has a wider port selection and a much better webcam, and it doesn't get as hot or loud under load. The MacBook Pro's M1 Pro and M1 Max SoCs perform better than the Precision 5560's Intel 11th Gen CPUs, and they're more power-efficient, allowing the MacBook Pro 16 to last much longer on battery.

The Dell Precision 5570 (2022) is a newer version of the Dell Precision 5560 (2021). They're identical in design, so it's mainly an internal upgrade and some tweaks here and there. The newer 5570 has Intel 12th Gen processors instead of Intel 11th Gen and an NVIDIA RTX A1000 GPU option. It also has a slightly tweaked keyboard, giving it more tactility. Unlike the 5560, the 5570 isn't available with Intel Xeon processors, which means it doesn't support ECC memory either.

The Dell Precision 5560 (2021) is better than the Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2019) . The Precision 5560 performs better as it's a newer device with more powerful Intel 11th Gen CPUs and NVIDIA dedicated GPUs. It also has a more comfortable keyboard, and its memory and storage drive are user-replaceable, which you can't do on the MacBook Pro 16. However, the MacBook Pro 16 has a sturdier build and a much better webcam.

The Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2021) is better than the Dell Precision 5560 (2021). The MacBook Pro 14 is a more compact and portable device with a sturdier build. It has a wider port selection, a better webcam, and a Mini LED display with a better contrast ratio, a faster refresh rate, and higher peak brightness. The MacBook Pro's M1 Pro and Max SoCs perform better than Intel's 11th Gen processors, and they're more power efficient, leading to longer battery life. However, the Precision 5560 is more serviceable as its memory and storage drive are user-replaceable, and its speakers get significantly louder.

The Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 2 (2021) and the Dell Precision 5560 (2021) are both mobile workstations. Choosing between them depends on what you care more about. If you just want performance, the Lenovo is a better choice as it has higher-end GPU configurations, and its more robust cooling system allows the GPUs to run at a higher wattage. On the other hand, if you prefer a sleeker and more portable device that offers a better user experience, then go with the Dell.

The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 4 (2021) and the Dell Precision 5560 (2021) are both thin and light Windows mobile workstations with Intel 11th Gen CPUs and NVIDIA discrete GPUs. The Dell is slightly more compact, making it easier to carry around, and its build feels sturdier. It also has a much better touchpad and longer battery life. On the other hand, the Lenovo has more ports and doesn't get as hot as the Dell under load. Performance is very similar between them with the same configuration; however, the Lenovo offers more powerful GPU options, up to an NVIDIA RTX A5000 and GeForce RTX 3080.

The ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED (2021) and the Dell Precision 5560 (2021) are both premium Windows mobile workstations with Intel 11th Gen CPUs and NVIDIA discrete graphics. Choosing between them depends on whether you prefer as much performance as possible or a more compact and portable device. If you want performance, go with the ASUS because it has more powerful GPU options; otherwise, the Dell is a better option for portability. The ASUS' OLED display has better picture quality, but keep in mind that there's a risk of permanent burn-in, and it also flickers, which might cause eye strain for people sensitive to screen flickering.

Test Results

The Dell Precision 5560 is a sleek and premium-looking laptop with an aluminum chassis, a carbon fiber keyboard deck, and very thin bezels. It's almost identical to the Dell XPS 13 (2021) but with grills on both sides of the keyboard (like the XPS 15). There are airflow vents on the bottom and the back of the laptop, and the speakers are also on the bottom near the sides.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Build Quality Photo

The Dell 5560's build quality is excellent. The chassis is a mix of aluminum and some plastic, and the keyboard deck is carbon fiber. It feels solid and sturdy overall, with a finish that doesn't easily scratch or pick up fingerprints, and there aren't any obvious flaws in the construction. There's a little bit of flex in the display but none in the keyboard deck. It has a heft to it, and the weight feels evenly distributed.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Hinge Photo

The Dell Precision 5560 has outstanding hinges. They feel smooth when opening and closing the lid, and they're very stable, exhibiting no wobble at all. You can open the laptop with one hand, a nice quality-of-life feature that makes the device feel more premium.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Dimensions Photo

The Dell Precision 5560 is a thin and relatively light laptop that's easy to carry around. The power adapter is a little bulky but lightweight.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Internals Photo

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Display Photo

You can configure the Dell Precision 5560 with a 1080p IPS or 4k IPS display. It's more precisely 1920 x 1200 and 3840 x 2400, respectively, as both panels have a 16:10 aspect ratio, which gives you more vertical space so that you don't have to scroll as much when reading a document or website. The 1080p display is decently sharp at this screen size, though you can still see individual pixels if you're close enough. The 4k is significantly sharper but drains the battery much faster. There's no touchscreen option.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Motion Blur

The Dell 5560's 1080p display has a basic refresh rate typical of most productivity-focused laptops. The response time is slow, causing noticeable ghosting, and it doesn't support variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing when gaming, so it isn't the best option for viewing fast-moving content or gaming. The 4k display performs similarly as it has the same refresh rate and advertised response time.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Contrast Photo

As far as IPS panels go, the Dell Precision 5560 has a great contrast ratio. However, it's still a relatively low number, and blacks still look grayish in dim settings. If you want deeper blacks for a better dark room viewing experience, it's best to get a laptop with an OLED panel or even a Mini LED display like the Apple MacBook Pro 14 and 16 with Apple silicon. The 4k panel has roughly the same advertised contrast and will perform similarly. The contrast ratio can vary between individual units, but the difference is usually minor and isn't noticeable.

The Dell Precision 5560's display brightness doesn't quite hit the advertised 500 cd/m², but it's bright enough for use in most environments, even outdoors in broad daylight. If you often view content in the dark, the screen gets very dim at the lowest brightness setting to help reduce eye strain. The 4k panel will perform similarly as it has the same advertised brightness. If you need a laptop with a brighter display, check out the newer Dell Precision 5570 (2022) .

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Reflections Photo Off

The Dell Precision 5560 has good reflection handling. Its matte coating does a great job of diffusing and reducing the intensity of bright, direct reflections, like a lamp or open window during the day. Reflections aren't an issue when viewing light-color content with the screen at maximum brightness, but they're distracting when viewing dark content.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Black Uniformity Photo

The Dell Precision 5560's black uniformity is great. It looks a little patchy, but it's hard to notice unless you really look for it. Also, it's only visible when viewing dark content in a dark setting. Black uniformity varies between individual units due to manufacturing tolerances; you may get some backlight bleed, which is common for IPS panels, but you can expect the rest of the screen to be fairly similar.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Horizontal Chroma Picture

The Dell 5560 has good horizontal viewing angles. The image remains accurate until you reach a moderately steep angle to the left or right, meaning you can share the screen with someone else, even for color-critical work, as long as the other person isn't too far off to the side.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Vertical Chroma Picture

The Dell 5560 has okay vertical viewing angles. Image accuracy doesn't degrade much when viewing from slightly above or below, which is handy when you don't have space to tilt the screen to your liking, like on an airplane or a bus. That said, it's best to look at the screen straight on if you need perfect image accuracy.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) White Balance Screencap

The Dell 5560 has good color accuracy out of the box. Most color inaccuracies are minor and hard to spot, and the white balance is only off at higher brightness levels. The gamma doesn't follow the sRGB curve at all, making dark scenes too dark and bright scenes too bright. Color accuracy varies between individual units, but the difference is usually minimal.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Gamut SDR

The Dell Precision 5560's 1080p display has an excellent color gamut. It has full coverage of the commonly-used sRGB color space. It has great coverage of wider color spaces like Adobe RGB and DCI P3, but still not enough for color-critical work. If you need a wider color gamut, it's best to get the 4k display as it has an advertised 100% Adobe RGB and 94% DCI P3 coverage.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Flicker Graph

The Dell Precision 5560 laptop has a flicker-free display, which helps reduce eye strain for people sensitive to flickering.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Keyboard Photo

The Dell Precision 5560 has a great keyboard. It feels spacious, and it has a fairly standard layout that's easy to adapt to. The plastic used for the keycaps feels high-quality, and the keys are relatively stable. The scissor switches have a good amount of travel, don't require much force to actuate, and provide satisfying tactile feedback. The keyboard doesn't feel tiring to type on over an extended period, and it's relatively quiet, so it shouldn't bother others in a noise-sensitive environment. You can toggle between two backlight brightness levels or turn it off completely using F5.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Touchpad Photo

The Dell Precision 5560 has an outstanding touchpad. It's large, smooth, and responsive, with a polling rate hovering between 140Hz and 150Hz, sometimes as high as 160Hz. It tracks all movements and gestures well, and there aren't any issues with palm detection or double clicks. The click doesn't feel particularly satisfying, but the upside is that you can click anywhere on the touchpad.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Frequency Response Plot

The Dell Precision 5560 has excellent speakers. They sound full and deliver clear, forward vocals. There's some bass, but not a whole lot. They get very loud with minimal compression at max volume; however, there's some buzzing and rattling when the volume is around 50% or more. It's likely an issue that only affects certain units, so your mileage may vary.

The Dell Precision 5560 has a mediocre webcam. The image looks soft, underexposed, and slightly washed out, and there's also a fair amount of noise. Voices come across loud and clear over the microphone, but there's a lot of static in the background as well as some distortion.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Ports Photo

The Dell 5560's port selection is okay. The right USB-C is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port with up to 10Gbps data transfer speed, and it supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery (up to 15W). The two USB-Cs on the left are Thunderbolt 4 ports with up to 40Gbps data transfer speed, and they support two external 4k displays at 60Hz or one 8k display at 60Hz. You can charge the laptop via any of the three USB-C ports. If you want a mobile workstation with a wider port selection, check out the Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 2 (2021) .

The Dell 5560 has an Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 wireless adapter.

The Dell Precision 5560 is available with the following Intel 11th Gen CPUs:

  • Intel Core i5-11500H (6 cores/12 threads, up to 4.6GHz, 12MB cache)
  • Intel Core i7-11800H (8 cores/16 threads, up to 4.6GHz, 24MB cache)
  • Intel Core i7-11850H (8 cores/16 threads, up to 4.8GHz, 24MB cache)
  • Intel Core i9-11950H (8 cores/16 threads, up to 5.0GHz, 24MB cache)
  • Intel Core Xeon W-11955M (8 cores/16 threads, up to 5.0GHz, 24MB cache)

The Intel Core i5, i7s, and i9 CPUs are mainstream multi-purpose processors typically found in gaming laptops and mobile workstations. The Core i5-11500H is the lowest-end configuration and a fairly capable CPU, but for professional-level work, it's worth getting at least a Core i7 as the additional cores will improve performance significantly. The two Core i7s and the Core i9 only differ in clock speeds, so upgrading from the i7-11800H to the i7-11850H or i9-11950H will only give you a slight performance boost. The Intel Core Xeon W-11955M is essentially the same CPU as the Core i9-11950H and will perform similarly, but it supports ECC (Error Correction Code) memory for better system stability. If you want a mobile workstation with newer Intel 12th Gen CPUs, check out the Dell Precision 3571 (2022) .

The Dell 5560 is available with the following NVIDIA dedicated GPUs:

  • NVIDIA Quadro T1200 4GB GDDR6
  • NVIDIA RTX A2000 4GB GDDR6

The NVIDIA Quadro T1200 and the RTX A2000 are discrete GPUs designed for production workloads like 3D modeling and graphic design. The Quadro T1200 is roughly equivalent to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650/1650Ti, while the RTX A2000 is roughly equivalent to an RTX 3050/3050Ti. The RTX A2000 is about 20% to 40% faster than the Quadro T1200, depending on the workload. It also has ray-tracing support as well as AI Tensor cores that can improve performance significantly in heavy computational workloads. If you want a similar workstation with more powerful GPU options, check out the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 4 (2021) .

You can configure the Dell 5560 with 8, 16, 32, or 64GB of memory. You can choose between non-ECC or ECC memory; however, you can only get ECC memory on models equipped with an Intel Core Xeon W-11955M CPU. ECC (Error Correction Code) RAM is a type of memory typically found in workstations and servers. It checks and corrects any data corruption to provide better system stability. The 8GB configuration runs in single-channel mode, but the rest is dual-channel.

You can configure the Dell Precision 5560 with 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB of storage. Dell's specifications indicate that the storage slot supports an M.2 2230 or 2280 PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe SSD, but the laptop comes with a slower PCIe Gen 3 x4 SSD.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Geekbench Image

The Dell Precision 5560's overall score in Geekbench 5 is outstanding. While the Intel Core i7-11800H's single-thread performance isn't as good as Apple's M1 SoC, it's still fantastic and among the best for x86 CPUs of its generation. Its multi-thread performance is excellent; however, it's a bit worse than expected as it scores lower than the Intel Core i5-11400H in the HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15 (2021) , which has two fewer cores. That said, the Core i7-11800H is still powerful enough to handle any type of workload, including demanding tasks like graphic design and 3D modeling.

The NVIDIA Quadro T1200 performs well in GPU compute tasks, scoring in the same ballpark as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650Ti, an entry-level discrete gaming GPU. The NVIDIA RTX A2000 will perform 20% to 40% better than the Quadro T1200 in most workloads but can be significantly more in applications that can use the RTX A2000's Tensor cores.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Cinebench R23 Photo

The Intel Core i7-11800H CPU in the Dell 5560 performs exceptionally well in Cinebench R23, making it suitable for CPU rendering and other related tasks. The i7-11850H, i9-11950H, and Xeon W-11955M will only perform slightly better, but the i5-11500H will be slower due to its smaller core count.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Blender Image

The Dell Precision 5560's performance in Blender is excellent. Although the CPU can complete the render fairly quickly, it's still better to use the GPU as it's significantly faster, especially if you use NVIDIA Optix API hardware acceleration. The NVIDIA RTX A2000 is faster and will likely complete the same render in under 30 seconds.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Basemark Image

The Dell 5560 with an NVIDIA Quadro T1200 GPU performs decently well in the Basemark GPU benchmark. It scores about the same as an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, like the one in the HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15 (2021) , but it'll perform slightly worse in real games due to the lack of optimized drivers. It can handle 1080p gaming, but you'll have to play at low settings in most titles to get smooth gameplay. The NVIDIA RTX A2000 is faster and will easily reach 60 fps in most games at 1080p with high settings.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Storage Performance Image

The Dell Precision 5560's storage drive performance is outstanding. It has fast read and write speeds that make the system feel snappy and shortens the time it takes to boot up, launch apps, and transfer files. That said, it's a PCIe Gen 3 SSD even though the storage slot supports PCIe Gen 4, meaning you can get much faster speeds if you replace it with a PCIe Gen 4 SSD. The speed of the SSD may vary depending on the size, as larger SSDs tend to perform better.

The Dell Precision 5560 has decent battery life. It lasts long enough to get through a typical workday of light productivity, but just barely, so you might still need to plug it in for a quick charge depending on your workload. Video playback consumes a little more power than web browsing, but it still lasts long enough to get you through a couple of full-length movies. Gaming and other demanding tasks like video editing drain the battery very quickly, so you'll have to use the laptop plugged in most of the time. Models with a 4k panel will have a much shorter battery life. Battery life varies greatly depending on your usage and the laptop's configuration.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Borderlands 3 Graph

Borderlands 3 runs poorly on the Dell Precision 5560. The game is very choppy at high settings. It's a lot smoother at low settings, but it still stutters at times. Models with an NVIDIA RTX A2000 will perform better, though you might still need to lower some settings to get to an average of 60 fps.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Civilization VI Graph

The Dell Precision 5560 performs reasonably well with Civilization VI. The average frame rate at high settings is decent, and there are only occasional, barely noticeable stutters. You only need to lower a few settings to get the frame rate over 60 fps. The NVIDIA RTX A2000 will reach 60 fps at high settings without any issues. The average turn time is also decent and within the expected range for an Intel 11th Gen H-series CPU. The other CPU configurations will only affect the turn time slightly, not enough to make much difference.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) CS:GO graph

CS:GO runs very smoothly on the Dell Precision 5560. The average frame rate is high, and there aren't any noticeable stutters. Every configuration of this laptop can run this game without any problems.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) SOTTR Graph

Shadow of the Tomb Raider runs decently well on the Dell Precision 5560 with an Intel Core i7-11800H CPU and an NVIDIA Quadro T1200 GPU. It doesn't quite reach an average of 60 fps at 1080p with high settings; however, it's still playable, and you only need to turn down a few settings to get the frame rate above 60 fps. There are some stutters, but they don't happen often. The NVIDIA RTX A2000 will perform slightly better and get you closer to 60 fps with fewer tweaks in the settings.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Keyboard Temps Picture

The Dell Precision 5560 has mediocre thermal and noise handling. In an idle state, the keyboard deck is only a little warm, and the fans are completely silent. The fans remain relatively quiet and aren't distracting under load; however, the keyboard gets uncomfortably hot, with the hottest spot being right in the middle of the keyboard.

Dell Precision 5560 (2021) Performance Over Time Image

The Dell Precision 5560's performance over time is great. The GPU is relatively cool under load and doesn't throttle at all. However, the CPU gets very hot and throttles quickly. The performance loss on the CPU is noticeable, so you can expect renders and other demanding tasks to take longer to complete than on another laptop with the same CPU but better cooling. The other CPU and GPU configurations will likely perform similarly.

The Dell 5560 has a few pre-installed software applications, including:

  • Dell Command Update: This app checks for any BIOS, driver, or firmware updates.
  • Dell Digital Delivery: Lets you download software applications purchased from Dell.
  • SupportAssist Recovery Assistant: Allows you to retrieve files from a previous backup.
  • Disney+: App for the video streaming service.
  • SupportAssist: Lets you scan for available drivers and hardware issues, clean files, optimize performance, and access system activity history.

The Dell 5560 has a fingerprint sensor built into the power button and a Windows Hello compatible IR camera. You can use either one to log in, authorize purchases on the Windows Store, or auto-fill saved passwords on supported websites.

Dell Precision 5560

A new powerhouse among light laptop workstations.

Eric Grevstad

Bottom Line

  • Quite thin and light for a mobile workstation
  • Handsome high-res 16:10 touch screen
  • Stiff aluminum and magnesium build
  • Thunderbolt 4 ports, SD card slot included
  • Excellent multithreaded performance for a thin workstation
  • Short on ports (USB-A and HDMI dongle included)
  • No OLED screen option

If you want to chew through massive datasets or tackle colossal CGI rendering jobs with Dell's premier 15.6-inch mobile workstation , you want the Precision 7560 . But what if you'd like something a little easier to carry than that 5.42-pound juggernaut? The Precision 5560 (starts at $1,839; $4,195 as tested) is based on Dell's elegant XPS 15 (9510) chassis and weighs only 4.3 pounds. It can't match the 7560's peak power—max RAM is 64GB instead of 128GB, for example—but it packs more processing cores and faster graphics than its rival the HP ZBook Firefly 15 G8 . The trim Precision replaces the Firefly as our Editors' Choice winner among lightweight laptop workstations.

Two-Thirds of the Way Up the Ladder 

Like all true workstations, the Precision 5560 carries independent software vendor (ISV) certifications for specialized apps. It's best suited for 2D or light 3D computer-aided design (CAD) rather than strenuous 3D rendering, virtual reality, or data science as the 7560 and its fellow flagships are, but it outstrips the ZBook Firefly 15 by offering an eight-core versus quad-core processor and an Nvidia RTX A2000 professional GPU that's three steps above the Nvidia T500 in the HP.

Dell Precision 5560 rear view

Of course, you'll pay for such potency. Dell's base model 5560 is $1,839 but has only an Intel Core i5 CPU and lowly integrated graphics (we won't even apply the term "workstation" to a PC without a discrete GPU). Our test unit was a far greater investment at $4,195 with an eight-core, 2.5GHz (4.8GHz turbo) Core i7-11850H processor, the 4GB RTX A2000, 32GB of memory, a 2TB PCI Express Gen 4 solid-state drive, and the finest available display—an IPS touch screen with slightly taller 16:10 rather than the familiar 16:9 aspect ratio and 3,840-by-2,400-pixel resolution. The standard panel is 1,920 by 1,200 pixels; the Firefly offers only a choice of 1,920-by-1,080 screens. 

Dell's spec sheet says the Precision 5560 can be had with Intel's Core i9-11950H or Xeon W-11955M, though at the time of this writing in mid-November 2021, I couldn't configure a unit with one of those CPUs online. Two M.2 slots allow up to 4TB of storage. There's no flex if you grasp the screen corners or press the keyboard deck.

Dell Precision 5560 right angle

Clad in aluminum and magnesium alloy, the 5560 measures 0.73 by 13.6 by 9.1 inches, making it fractionally trimmer but a bit heavier than the HP ZBook Firefly 15 G8 (0.76 by 14.2 by 9.2 inches and 3.74 pounds). For comparison's sake, the Precision 7560 makes room for beefier components at 1.08 by 14.2 by 9.5 inches. A face recognition webcam and fingerprint reader built into the power button give you two ways to skip passwords with Windows Hello. 

Like its XPS 15 sibling, the Precision 5560 skimps on ports, with just three USB Type-C ports—one USB-C 3.2 port on the right and two Thunderbolt 4 ports on the left. The AC adapter has a USB-C connector, and Dell provides a tiny USB-C dongle with one USB Type-A port and one HDMI video output.

Dell Precision 5560 right ports

You'll also find an SD card slot and an audio jack on the right and a security lock slot on the left. Wi-Fi 6 (not 6E) and Bluetooth handle wireless communications.

A Screen Worth Seeing 

The 5560 doesn't offer an OLED display option as the XPS 15 does, but if you opt for the 3,840-by-2,400 touch screen you won't miss it: The high-resolution panel offers fantastic brightness and contrast (rated at 500 nits and 1,600:1 respectively), wrapped in some of the thinnest bezels around—Dell cites a 92% screen-to-body ratio. 

Viewing angles are wide, though reflections on the touch glass come in at extreme perspectives, and fine details are razor-sharp. White backgrounds are brilliant, and colors pop with vivid depth and richness. I wish the screen tilted back a little further, but that's my only complaint.

Dell Precision 5560 front view

Side-slit speakers pump out loud and clear sound, with surprisingly strong bass and no harshness or distortion even at top volume. It's easy to make out overlapping tracks. A Dell Optimizer utility includes a faux 3D audio toggle and conference-call settings for a quiet room, noisy office, or multiple voices. The webcam has the usual fuzzy 720p resolution and no privacy shutter; it captures reasonably well-lit and colorful images free of noise or static. 

The backlit keyboard commits the HP faux pas of arranging the cursor arrow keys in a row, with half-sized up and down arrows stacked between left and right, and requires the Fn key paired with arrows for Page Up and Page Down although there are real Home and End keys. It has a flat and shallow rather than snappy typing feel, but with a bit of practice you can maintain a brisk pace. 

The touchpad is enormous and glides and taps smoothly, taking just a bit of pressure for a quiet click, but it has no buttons, let alone the middle button used by many ISV apps. (Windows recognizes a two-finger tap as a right-click and lets you configure a three-finger tap as a middle click.) Dell's laptop workstations don't offer a keyboard pointing stick as Lenovo's and HP's do.

The abovementioned Dell Optimizer software can fine-tune performance settings for individual apps, prioritize network bandwidth for videoconferences, and use the webcam as a proximity sensor to lock the workstation when you leave and awaken it when you return. Other additions to the Windows 10 Pro preload (I was offered the update to Windows 11 during testing) include Dell PremierColor, which lets you choose vibrant, low-blue-light, SD or HD video, internet (sRGB), photo (Adobe RGB), or cinema (DCI-P3) color gamuts; and Dell Power Manager, which monitors battery health and lets you choose cooling settings based on your tolerance for fan noise. I ran our benchmarks in Ultra Performance mode except for our battery test in Optimized.

Testing the Precision 5560: Thick and Thin Workstations Collide

For our benchmark charts, I compared the Precision 5560 to four other 15.6-inch mobile workstations. Its lightweight competitor, the HP ZBook Firefly, unfortunately hasn't completed our new testing regimen, but the HP ZBook Power G8 is that company's most affordable entry and comparably equipped to the 5560. 

Dell Precision 5560

The other three—the Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 2 , the Dell Precision 7560, and the HP ZBook Fury 15 G8 —are heavier, more expensive flagship models. You can see the quintet's basic specs in the table below.

Productivity Tests 

The main benchmark of UL's PCMark 10 simulates a variety of real-world productivity and content-creation workflows to measure overall performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheeting, web browsing, and videoconferencing. We also run PCMark 10's Full System Drive test to assess the load time and throughput of a laptop's storage. (See more about how we test laptops .) 

Three benchmarks focus on the CPU, using all available cores and threads, to rate a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads. Maxon's Cinebench R23 uses that company's Cinema 4D engine to render a complex scene, while Primate Labs' Geekbench 5.4 Pro simulates popular apps ranging from PDF rendering and speech recognition to machine learning. Finally, we use the open-source video transcoder HandBrake 1.4 to convert a 12-minute video clip from 4K to 1080p resolution (lower times are better). 

Our final productivity test is workstation maker Puget Systems ' PugetBench for Photoshop, which uses the Creative Cloud version 22 of Adobe's famous image editor to rate a PC's performance for content creation and multimedia applications. It's an automated extension that executes a variety of general and GPU-accelerated Photoshop tasks ranging from opening, rotating, resizing, and saving an image to applying masks, gradient fills, and filters.

We consider a PCMark 10 score of 4,000 points to indicate excellent productivity for Microsoft Office or Google Workspace; these machines are merely idling during Word and PowerPoint duty. The Precision 5560's Core i7 held its own against Core i9s in our CPU tests, and the system is an outstanding choice for serious Photoshop work. 

Graphics Tests 

We test Windows PCs' graphics with two DirectX 12 gaming simulations from UL's 3DMark, Night Raid (more modest, suitable for laptops with integrated graphics) and Time Spy (more demanding, suitable for gaming rigs with discrete GPUs). 

We also run two tests from the cross-platform GPU benchmark GFXBench 5, which stresses both low-level routines like texturing and high-level, game-like image rendering. The 1440p Aztec Ruins and 1080p Car Chase tests, rendered offscreen to accommodate different display resolutions, exercise graphics and compute shaders using the OpenGL programming interface and hardware tessellation respectively. The more frames per second (fps), the better.

The 5560's top graphics option, the RTX A2000, is only Nvidia's fourth fastest professional GPU, but for the most part performed better in the Dell than in the ZBook Power G8. It'll satisfy if not necessarily thrill CAD and CGI designers and after-hours gamers. 

Workstation-Specific Tests 

We run two additional programs to simulate workstation applications. The first, Blender, is an open-source 3D suite for modeling, animation, simulation, and compositing. We record the time it takes for its built-in Cycles path tracer to render two photo-realistic scenes of BMW cars, one using the system's CPU and one the GPU (lower times are better).

Perhaps our most important workstation test, SPECviewperf 2020, renders, rotates, and zooms in and out of solid and wireframe models using viewsets from popular independent software vendor (ISV) apps. We run the 1080p resolution tests based on PTC's Creo CAD platform; Autodesk's Maya modeling and simulation software for film, TV, and games; and Dassault Systemes' SolidWorks 3D rendering package. The more frames per second, the better.

Kudos to Dell—the Precision 5560 topped the ZBook Power, while the Core i7- and RTX A4000-equipped Precision 7560 held its own against the Core i9- and RTX A5000-based ZBook Fury and ThinkPad. The 5560 doesn't pretend to be the fastest mobile workstation on the market, but it's a thoroughly capable rig. 

Battery and Display Tests 

We test laptops' battery life by playing a locally stored 720p video file (the open-source Blender movie Tears of Steel Tears of Steel ) with display brightness at 50% and audio volume at 100%. We make sure the battery is fully charged before the test, with Wi-Fi and keyboard backlighting turned off. 

We also use a Datacolor SpyderX Elite monitor calibration sensor and its Windows software to measure a laptop screen's color saturation—what percentage of the sRGB, Adobe RGB, and DCI-P3 color gamuts or palettes the display can show—and its 50% and peak brightness in nits (candelas per square meter).

The Precision 5560's battery life proved more than sufficient (laptop workstations spend more time on AC power than general-purpose notebooks or ultraportables). And its display brightness and color coverage were outstanding, rivaling the ritzy DreamColor panel of the HP Fury 15.

Not the Fastest, But One of the Finest 

Two or three more ports would be nice, but the Dell Precision 5560 easily earns an Editors' Choice award as a first-rate mobile workstation. It delivers performance only a step behind bulkier flagships in a noticeably thinner and lighter package, with one of the best-looking screens in the laptop game. Like its XPS 15 archetype, it's a winner.

  1. Dell Precision 5560 Review

    A slim, splendid-screened laptop that can handle all but the toughest professional apps. It has an 11th-gen Core i7-11850H processor, an Nvidia RTX A2000 GPU, and a 15.6-inch touch screen with 3840 by 2400 resolution. Expensive, but worth it for 2D or light 3D CAD work.
