Product Information

It should be noted, however, that while it isn’t throttling per say, the fact that the GPU (and, on occasions, the CPU) cannot Turbo Boost consistently for long periods of time under heavy stress means that other notebooks with the same chipset may perform better in certain scenarios. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance. The Dell Latitude E5530 uses the same Intel Core i5 Processor as the current Dell Latitude sold along with the latest HD display and high resolution webcam. Colors such as the orange fire in explosions and the red bars in the British flag were a bit muted, and blacks weren't as deep as we'd like.

The Wi-Fi adapter, while normally a prime suspect in such situations, appeared to have no bearing on the situation. While the higher-res 1080p display is likely of considerably higher quality as well, our review unit included a standard 1366x768 pixel HD panel, and we found it to be more than sufficient for everyday business use. When we listened to "Papa Don't Take No Mess" by James Brown, the saxophone's highs and lows were clearly audible.All things considered, the Latitude E5530 is a no-nonsense business notebook that excels in most every area that counts. With a high-performance antenna and the latest wireless and mobile broadband2 connectivity options, you don’t have to be inside an office to be at work. Using this configuration along with the “Power Saver” power profile, the notebook lasted an excellent 11 hours and 7 minutes before shutting down.

While the screen can be opened until it’s nearly parallel with the base of the notebook, this doesn’t help much when the viewing angles are narrow. When installing 4GB or more into a machine with a 32-bit version of Windows the amount usable will vary between 3GB and 3. The E-Port Plus includes all of that as well as another DisplayPort, DVI-D, and HDMI port, and even a Serial, Parallel, and two PS/2 ports for legacy compatibility. If you work from home or are thinking of doing so in the future you need to have the right tools available to do your job as efficiently as possible. By comparison, the ThinkPad T530 averaged 30 frames per second with the game set to Good while running at 1366 x 768, which is underwhelming.To its credit, the tone of the fan noise isn’t terribly disturbing (it’s more of a whoosh than a whine), and it takes quite a bit of stress to reach this level, but 49 dB under any circumstances is loud. It features a phenomenal backlit keyboard and comfortable touchpad to compliment a better-than-average matte LCD panel.

The Celeron options don’t seem to be selectable during system configuration as of this writing, but a “lower end” Sandy Bridge CPU is an excellent way to save cost if you don’t want to sacrifice much. Both games performed surprisingly well on medium settings, with Batman: Arkham City averaging around 35 to 40 frames per second at 1366x768 resolution, 0xAA, and all settings medium. Like its predecessor, the underside of the machine features a single large panel which covers nearly every upgradeable component of the PC. Synthetic CPU benchmarks suggest that the i5-3360M is on par with, or even faster than, the highest-end dual-core i7 Sandy Bridge CPUs. Draped in a Tri-Metal casing, the Latitude E5530's protective shell consists of a brushed aluminum lid, steel hinges, magnesium alloy internal frames and a zinc alloy latch that reminds us of an old-fashioned metal lunch pail.
