Good CAD laptops are hard to find. It's always a question of all the laptop components working togther in harmony rather then against each other. I've seen 300$ ''used DELL Latitude laptops'' outperform new 2000$ IBM laptops. Should be getting mine shortly. ThunberBolt connectors are a bad idea tho... Those tiny USB connectors are anything but reliable. Why any laptop manufuacturer would think those little wimpy connectors are a good idea is beyond me. They are CONSTANTLY unplugging themselves leading to all sorts of problems.
thanks, great summary. so, you would recommend this for work in e.g. solidworks, inventor or 3dsmax or other graphic intense software? or would it make sense to go higher towards 5x (Precision 5680) series? currently I am using a 5530 with quadro 2000
Hiya! All of our featured workstations are suitable for working with SOLIDWORKS. 👍 You can compare performance between models on our dedicated hardware page: www.solidsolutions.co.uk/solidworks/Hardware/Laptop-Workstations.aspx
Hi the biggest difference is on the graphics cards where the 5680 supports higher powered graphics cards and also runs them at higher power limits. the 3581 top performer is the RTX 2000 Ada running at upto 40W vs the 5680 which supports the RTX 3500 ada, RTX 4000 Ada, RTX 5000 Ada, with upto 75W power draw. this makes the biggest difference for complex designs and otehr intesnsive tasks such as GPU based render engines. We also found the Precison 5680 was a little faster even with the same CPU's due to better cooling. See ruclips.net/video/kOVl67q-PDY/видео.html
Thanks, useful to have a full breakdown of the specs
Really helpful - thanks!

This is really informative
Great video
Thanks for the video! Does it have 2 SSD slots NVME 2280?
Yes, they have! I have one 3581 and opened it recently

Similar Latitude
Deal with Dell at your peril
