Our Testing & Analysis Report

This Dell Precision T5500 is a special device for all AUTOCAD users. While working on AUTOCAD, on this device we experienced very decent performance. It was smooth, and the rendering was also very pleasing.

But, the specifications of this device are not so updated (RAM type). So, we had to keep our tasks within certain limitations. But still, it is workable.

We also used this device for working on some coding projects. The performance of this device in this field was also very pleasing.

We got fast processing with good response time. We ran multiple applications at the same time on this PC and we were able to switch between these applications smoothly.

On this device, we also ran SolidWorks and Fusion 360. And while using both of these applications we got smooth and lag-free processing from this PC.

While rendering or editing 3D models and working on complex designs, we didn’t design any noticeable delay.

We also used this device for stock trading. While following any chart, or while purchasing or squaring off any trade, we got a very fast and responsive performance from this device.

We ran multiple high-demanding stock trading software and the PC handled them without any major technical glitches.

But, the PC comes with Windows 7. That is a major drawback of it. So we installed Windows 10 on this device.

And the PC smoothly adopted this OS and there was no significant lag.
