Overview
The Latitude 3550 targets corporate and education users who need a durable, serviceable 15.6" notebook with modern connectivity and enterprise support. Dell positions the 3550 as a mainstream business machine with multiple configurable SKUs and IT‑friendly features such as ProSupport and a broad port selection.
Key specifications
- Processor: Intel Core i5‑1335U (13th Gen) — hybrid core design for efficient multitasking.
- Memory: 8GB (single module; DDR/DDR5 depends on SKU).
- Storage: 512GB Class‑35 NVMe SSD for fast boot and app loads.

Performance and real‑world use
The i5‑1335U delivers solid productivity performance for office apps, web conferencing, and multitasking; the 512GB NVMe keeps the system responsive for everyday workflows. With 8GB RAM the laptop is well suited for standard business tasks—consider upgrading to 16GB if you run heavier multitasking or virtual machines.
Display, camera, and audio
The 15.6" FHD anti‑glare panel (220 nits) provides a roomy workspace for spreadsheets and documents while reducing reflections in bright offices. The SKU includes an HD/FHD webcam and microphone suitable for remote meetings; some configurations add privacy shutters or HDR/TNR camera options on other Latitude 3550 SKUs.
Connectivity and security
Latitude 3550 offers a practical port mix for business: USB‑A, USB‑C (with Power Delivery/DisplayPort on some SKUs), HDMI 1.4, RJ‑45 Ethernet, headset jack, and SD card reader—helpful for docking and legacy peripherals. Wireless options include Wi‑Fi 6/6E modules and Bluetooth, and enterprise security features include TPM, Kensington lock compatibility, and an optional fingerprint reader (FPR) for fast biometric sign‑on.
Battery, build, and support
Typical battery configurations use a 3‑cell ~41–42 WHr pack with Express Charge on select SKUs; real‑world runtime depends on workload and brightness. The chassis balances durability and portability for a 15.6" class laptop, and Dell’s 1‑Year Next Business Day ProSupport reduces downtime for business deployments.
