Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Single USB-C port, Stodgy design, No 4K display option
  • Thermal throttling under heavy workload, The panel flickers from 0 to 99% brightness (our Health-Guard profile fixes that), You can't insert a 2.5-inch drive and an M.2 SSD at the same time, The base configuration comes with a TN panel
  • CPU tops out at 35 watts TDP, stress test performance not consistent, fan runs frequently and is too loud, coil whine
  • No 4K option, A bit heavier than other Precision models
  • Dim screen, Awkward keyboard
