The video introduces the Dell Latitude 5500, a new shape in the Latitude series. It emphasizes watching the full video for complete details on features, price, and capabilities. The laptop has a plastic top and bottom for its build quality, with strategically placed vents for heat transmission.
On the right side, it features a locking system, an Ethernet port, a full-size HDMI port, two USB-A ports, a headphone jack, and an SD card slot. The left side includes a charging port (using a standard Dell charger), a USB-C port for external display, and another USB-A port.
The laptop boasts narrow bezels, giving it a premium look. It comes with a backlit keyboard that includes a numeric pad. The trackpad is standard, with buttons above and below, and it also features a mini-mouse option. The display is a Full HD (1080p) resolution, which is a key advantage as many other 5500 models in the market are only HD. This full HD display offers excellent graphics performance, color, and contrast.
The Dell Latitude 5500 reviewed has an 8th Gen Intel Core i3 processor at 2.1 GHz (dual-core). It's equipped with 8GB of DDR4 RAM (2400MHz) and comes with a 128GB SSD, which is expandable to 256GB, 512GB, or even 1TB. The video mentions that this model's design with narrow bezels and full HD display is superior to other Dell Latitude series like the 5590, 7590, or 3500.
Weighing approximately 1.8-1.9 kg, it's considered very light for a 15.6-inch laptop. The reviewer addresses common concerns about the i3 8th Gen processor, stating that while it's a budget option, it performs well for its price point and the difference compared to an i5 8th Gen is not significant enough to justify the higher cost, emphasizing that moving from i3 to i7 would show a more noticeable performance jump.
The Dell Latitude 5500 (i3 8th Gen, 15.6-inch, narrow bezel, Full HD, backlit keyboard, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) is offered at 43,000 PKR. Upgrading to 256GB SSD would cost 46,000 PKR. The video highlights that this price is significantly lower than market competitors for similar specifications, which range from 48,000 to 52,000 PKR, thereby offering a substantial saving to viewers.
