Dell Precision 5550 Touchpad Erratic Behavior After Few Minutes

Loads of people have had this issue with precision 5560 and 5550 so its more like a firmware issue than a physical one. Dells software is so shitty sometimes. Id recommend installing the new firmware and also trying updating and-downloading the drivers for the touchpad. If it doesnt work use a mouse

Can this Alienware laptop run Solidworks efficiently without issues?

Thanks. I'm still using SolidWorks on an old Dell Precision 5560. Overall runs ok, but a few hiccups here and there. Hoping a "cheaper" current gaming laptop with specs like these will be better.

Persisting issue with trackpad (Precision 5560)

Hi! My Dell Precision 5560 does the same thing, and it drives me crazy. I’ve tried several Elan branded drivers, reflashing the touchpad’s firmware, reinstalling Windows, disabling the touchscreen, but nothing has worked so far. Restarting the computer doesn’t fix the problem for me, but cold bootin

Is a Dell Precision 5560 worth it or project-management work?

The Dell Precision 5560 is a slim, highly portable 15.6-inch mobile workstation released in 2021. Making this a five year old laptop. While it may be usable why are you buying an older computer for business use?

Is a Dell Precision 5560 worth it or project-management work?

How important is battery runtime to you? A Latitude 7440 with 56% battery health (oof that's huge degradation for just three years old) is probably still going to get better battery runtime than a Precision 5560 at 81% battery health, because the Latitude is drawing less than a quarter of the power

Is a Dell Precision 5560 worth it or project-management work?

and the better 32GB ones are closer to C$500+. Since the memory is soldered, you definitely want a 32GB one with recent Latitude C$500 is cheaper than the C$550 you'd be paying for the 5560 so I'm not sure what the objection is. The CA$50 cheaper won't get you a new battery, but it's part of the way

Is a Dell Precision 5560 worth it or project-management work?

A 5560 config with GPU (have not ever had my hands on a non-GPU Precision but the 5560 was new enough they did make them) won't recognize a 45W USB-C supply (when powered on; I think they may charge slowly on one when off) and will only work - with some minor throttling - with 65W+ 90W/100W USB-C wi
