Man, you are really awesome!!! You explain everything so well and pronounce each word so perfectly that I almost feel like you are speaking my native language, which is spanish. And olso you explain everything in such a simple way that anyone with a minimun of knowledge can understand it. Thank you so much for all your technical and practical tips.
Hello, This is the service manaul for the laptop with detailed installation for SSD upgrade: www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/precision-15-5550-laptop/precission_5550_sm/installing-the-solid-state-drive2?guid=guid-20904f0c-b1f1-4efa-8ded-48184e4b552b&lang=en-us "Computer supports 2 solid-state drive slots. Solid-state drive1 is the primary slot and solid-state drive2 is the secondary slot. If you are installing only one solid-state drive, install the drive to the primary slot. Install the second solid-state drive, if available, to the solid-state drive2 slot." You can have two 2230 NVme SSD installed or one 2230 and a 2280 NVMe SSD. 2.5" Sata SSD or HDD can not be installed.
Sweet! That sounds really good! Once you have it for a while , would you mind sharing your experience here? I love when people has hands on experience with the actual model.
Great video, I will definitely return to your channel! What do all the performance metrics mean from the last segment of your video? Do you think there's much of a processing difference between 16GB and 32GB memory? Thanks
Thanks! Depends on what application you are running. Regular browsing, outlook, documents should not exceed 16 GB of Ram. If you work with large excel files, presentation, 10+ pages in the browser, photo/video editing, gaming 32 Gb of Ram can help, but again for general usage, 16 GB is perfectly fine.
Since 2021, my Latitude 5520 has had all the features and performance for my real estate and artwork. Sometimes, I used external speakers to get the volume and quality. When it was new, the motherboard and hard drive had to be replaced. Thank goodness for on-site service support. DELL wants $420 to Renew the Warranty, so I might buy the 5550.
You are right, $420 is a lot, if your laptop is still capable to perform what needs to be done, just keep it as long as you can. Nothing will happen when the warranty expires as a matter of effect, I pretty much never buy an extended warranty. We are managing about 1300 Dell laptops and desktops combined, most of them last 5-6 years or longer. Regards of speaker quality, we are making smaller, thinner, lighter laptops so we are putting smaller speakers in them, unfortunately this has not been improved in2024 at all.
Does this laptop use any "soft touch" rubber coatings in the case? I have a Latitude 6530 I bought in 2013 that had a sof touch rubber keyboard deck and it's horrible to keep clean. They eventually get nasty. I have a TV remote with it and had to throw it out eventually. Also, is the RAM or SSD soldered to the motherboard? Thanks!
Excellent review. thank you.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks!
That was a lesson to learn for sure, this one does not have rubber coating 😊
We have two ram slots, and the SSD is replaceable as well.
@@Scott.The.IT.Guy. Thanks Scott!
Thanks for the review.
Good job !
Thanks!
Are we able to manually replace the memory or is it soldered? Looking to get one of these.
Yes, we have to slots so we can go up to 64 GB if needed. ua-cam.com/video/hIJAXH31fC8/v-deo.htmlsi=BvY9D7B79hsO7VKf&t=308

Glad it helped. Thanks!
love Dells, hate the naming conventions
Yes, for both! I really wish that the marketing department would slow down a bit :)
