The Precision 3530 is the latest entry-level workstation from Dell. Powered by an Nvidia Quadro P600 and a new Xeon CPU from Intel, the Precision 3530 is a capable machine. Heat management and fan noise leave quite a bit to be desired, however. Recent years have seen a renewed focus on affordability and consumer choice in the mobile workstation market. While workstation-class notebooks used to be some of the most expensive machines available (and many still are), it seems that companies are trying to offer cheaper options. Enter the Precision 3530. While not necessarily "cheap" by most laptop users' standards, the starting MSRP of USD $949 is a bargain for the workstation market. (For a bit of context, most workstations are priced between $2000-3000 and can run much higher.) For less than $1000, users can expect a decent amount of power under the hood (Core i5-8300H, Quadro P600), but in typical Dell fashion, there are several configurations available. Our review unit today boasts some of the best specs users can choose: a six-core Intel Xeon E-2176M, an Nvidia Quadro P600, 32 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB PCIe SSD. This bumps the price to $2650 at the time of this writing. We'll see if the upgrades are worth the increased price. Since the Precision 3530 is essentially just an upgrade of last year's Precision 3520, we will forgo discussion on the size, case, and maintenance options. For details on these factors, please check the review of the Precision 3520. We have posted some photos of the updated motherboard below. The 3530 competes well against other entry-level and mid-range workstations, including the HP ZBook 15 G4, Lenovo's ThinkPad P52, and the older Precision 3520. We will also compare the Lenovo ThinkPad P52s and Dell Precision 5520 to see if ultrabook-styled workstations can keep up. Let's dive in.

The BOE display in our model has a 1920x1080 non-touch panel with a matte finish. PWM is present, just as in the Precision 3520, but shouldn't be distracting. The weakest point is the screen's low average brightness, which is a disappointing change from last year. At 275 nits, the Precision 3530's screen is about 16% dimmer than the Precision 3520's. In everyday use, this doesn't present much of a problem unless the laptop is used outdoors or in direct sunlight. The backlight is fairly even with a distribution of 85%. Response times are average and in line with similar workstations. 299.4 cd/m²296.3 cd/m²273.4 cd/m²276.1 cd/m²285.7 cd/m²265.9 cd/m²259.7 cd/m²265.4 cd/m²253.3 cd/m² Distribution of brightness BOE BOE06F1 tested with X-Rite i1Pro 2 Maximum: 299.4 cd/m² (Nits) Average: 275 cd/m² Minimum: 15.5 cd/m² Brightness Distribution: 85 % Center on Battery: 285.7 cd/m² Contrast: 922:1 (Black: 0.31 cd/m²) ΔE Color 5.84 | 0.5-29.43 Ø5.1, calibrated: 3.14 ΔE Greyscale 6.5 | 0.57-98 Ø5.3 94% sRGB (Argyll 1.6.3 3D) 62% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 1.6.3 3D) 69.3% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) 94.6% sRGB (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) 72.8% Display P3 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) Gamma: 2.383 Dell Precision 3530 BOE BOE06F1, IPS, 15.60, 1920x1080Dell Precision 3520 IPS LED, 15.60, 1920x1080Dell Precision 5520 UHD SHP1476, IPS, 15.60, 3840x2160Lenovo ThinkPad P52 20MAS03N00 N156HCE-EN1, IPS LED, 15.60, 1920x1080Lenovo ThinkPad P52S-20LB001FUS Lenovo LEN40BD, IPS, 15.60, 3840x2160HP ZBook 15 G4-Y4E80AV LG Philips LGD057E, IPS, 15.60, 1920x1080Display 0% -1% -7% -6% -13% Display P3 Coverage 72.8 72.7 0% 67.4 -7% 65.6 -10% 67.3 -8% 64 -12% sRGB Coverage 94.6 94.8 0% 98.5 4% 90.3 -5% 89.4 -5% 82.7 -13% AdobeRGB 1998 Coverage 69.3 69.3 0% 68.9 -1% 65.9 -5% 65.4 -6% 60.4 -13% Response Times -6% -34% 775% 11% 636% Response Time Grey 50% / Grey 80% * 40.4 (22, 18.4) 48 (24.4, 23.6) -19% 59.2 (27.6, 31.6) -47% 39.2 (21.2, 18) 3% 43.2 (24.4, 18.8) -7% 39.2 (20.4, 18.8) 3% Response Time Black / White * 34.8 (20.8, 14) 34.4 (17.2, 17.2) 1% 41.6 (26.8, 14.8) -20% 26 (14.4, 11.6) 25% 18 (13.2, 14.8) 48% 25.6 (14.8, 10.8) 26% PWM Frequency 1053 (98) 1064 (90) 1% 25250 (50) 2298% 980 -7% 20830 (80) 1878% Screen 6% 14% 11% 13% 10% Brightness middle 285.7 345 21% 372.4 30% 304 6% 305.5 7% 321 12% Brightness 275 329 20% 368 34% 293 7% 282 3% 320 16% Brightness Distribution 85 88 4% 90 6% 88 4% 78 -8% 89 5% Black Level * 0.31 0.37 -19% 0.48 -55% 0.26 16% 0.24 23% 0.29 6% Contrast 922 932 1% 776 -16% 1169 27% 1273 38% 1107 20% Colorchecker dE 2000 * 5.84 5 14% 2.6 55% 4.5 23% 3.51 40% 4.5 23% Colorchecker dE 2000 max. * 8.76 8 9% 5.6 36% 7.7 12% 7.28 17% 9.5 -8% Colorchecker dE 2000 calibrated * 3.14 2.4 24% 3.15 -0% Greyscale dE 2000 * 6.5 6.2 5% 3.7 43% 5.2 20% 4 38% 2.9 55% Gamma 2.383 92% 2.35 94% 2.14 103% 2.26 97% 2.18 101% 2.27 97% CCT 7176 91% 6702 97% 7096 92% 6789 96% 7291 89% 6519 100% Color Space (Percent of AdobeRGB 1998) 62 61.8 0% 63 2% 53.8 -13% 58 -6% 54.2 -13% Color Space (Percent of sRGB) 94 94.7 1% 99 5% 90.1 -4% 89 -5% 82.6 -12% Total Average (Program / Settings) 0% /2% -7% /5% 260% /143% 6% /10% 211% /123% * ... smaller is better Color coverage is good, but the Precision 3530 falls short for professional color use. The display covers almost all of the sRGB gamut (94%) but only manages to reproduce 62% of the AdobeRGB gamut. This coverage is a bit higher than the average workstation and should be more than adequate for most users, but photographers, videographers, and others that rely on large color spaces should look elsewhere. Color accuracy is average. The DeltaE2000 score for colors sits at 5.84, which is decent. Unfortunately, it falls short of professional grade, generally considered to be a DeltaE2000 of 3 or less. The max DeltaE2000 for colors is 8.76, which indicates a fairly tight window of variance. Reds are a bit less accurate than other colors, but not so much so that they adversely affect the display. Calibration brings colors accuracy down to 3.14, which should be good enough for most color work. Grays tell a similar story with a DeltaE2000 of 6.5. Calibration here helps a lot, dropping the DeltaE2000 score to 1.9 and tightening up the RGB balance quite a bit. Color temperature out of the box is cool at 7176; sharp-eyed users might pick out a slight blue hue on white backgrounds. Again, calibration corrects this and brings it 6661, much closer to the ideal of 6500. Contrast is average and hovers at about 922:1. Blacks look good, but some workstations, like the HP ZBook 15 G4, offer a better overall screen. Display Response Timesℹ Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times. ↔ Response Time Black to White34.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 20.8 ms rise ↘ 14 ms fallThe screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 91 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.8 ms). ↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey40.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 22 ms rise ↘ 18.4 ms fallThe screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.

This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (34.3 ms). Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)ℹ To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether. Screen flickering / PWM detected 1053 Hz ≤ 98 % brightness setting The display backlight flickers at 1053 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 98 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 1053 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18694 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. Outdoor use is hindered by the dim backlight. As such, the screen is somewhat visible in shade and all but useless under direct sunlight. Window seats should be avoided. Viewing angles are good. Images and colors remain clear and accurate when viewed off-angle but start to dim at about 60°. The screen suffers very little backlight bleed, primarily along the bottom right corner. The matte finish is a bit grainy, primarily on white backgrounds. This is only visible when sitting close to the screen (8 inches or fewer). The Precision 3530's hardware seems to be at odds with itself. While the Xeon E-2176M is one of the highest-tier CPUs currently on the mobile market, the Nvidia Quadro P600 is designed to keep costs and power draw down. In addition, the CPU is so new that driver issues may be holding it back. As such, the notebook may not be taking full advantage of the hardware available to it. Both components also prove to be too much for the system to handle, as heat and thermal throttling issues persist in heavy use cases. Note that while HWiNFO64 cannot recognize the name of the CPU, it can detect all 6 cores (12 threads) and all other hardware contained within the CPU. The Intel Xeon E-2176M is a recent addition to the Xeon family. Based on Intel's Coffee Lake architecture, the six-core hyperthreaded CPU is specially tuned for workstation-class projects and supports the typical workstation features, including ECC RAM. With a base clock of 2.7 GHz and a single-core boost clock of 4.4 GHz, the CPU is poised to blaze through any heavy workloads thrown its way. Unfortunately, the Precision 3530 is not the best showcase of the new CPU. In Cinebench R15, the CPU puts up impressive multi-core scores... if that's the only test run. In our Cinebench R15 loop, which runs through the multi-core benchmark 50 times the CPU sees a performance drop of 18-20%. The most likely culprit for the throttling is the cooling system, which we will examine closer down below. All said, CPU performance is disappointing and doesn't live up to its full potential.

That said, the P600 still packs a punch. The card is designed to replace last year's Quadro M1200. Performance is thus similar to the M1200 and about the same as the GeForce MX150 or GeForce GTX 960M. The P600 has 4 GB of GDDR5 RAM on a 64-bit bus and 384 CUDA cores, just like the MX150. However, the Quadro is set apart by higher quality silicon (better "binning") and certified Quadro drivers specifically made for professional design and graphical work. In practice, the Quadro P600 is about twice as fast as the Quadro P500 seen in the ThinkPad P52s, making a GPU upgrade something to consider. The Quadro P1000 offers only about 10-15% better performance, positioning the P600 in a nice entry-level sweet spot. The card should be able to handle most low- to mid-level design and graphical work, but heavier projects may be bottlenecked by the GPU.

Again, the P600's performance is about on par with the Nvidia GeForce MX150. As such, most modern titles can be played at 1280x720/Low settings. Some games can be pushed to Medium settings and still hit 30 fps or higher, but more demanding titles are out of reach. Casual/competitive titles, like Rocket League, can be played at Full HD, albeit it at Medium/High settings.

As seen in our Cinebench R15 loop, the CPU cannot maintain its full clock under load for very long. After a short period of boosting to 4.3 GHz, the CPU ratchets back to about 2.2 GHz (500 Mhz below its rated base clock). This throttling is likely to hold temperatures at bay; at the beginning of the test, the CPU rapidly approached Intel's rated thermal limit of 100° C when boosting. After falling back, core temperatures settle to about 74° C. Running Prime95 with FurMark sees a similar story; the CPU swiftly climbs close to 100° C before choking back to about 85° C, resulting in clock speeds falling below its base. The GPU suffers the same fate as the CPU, although not to as extreme a degree. Performance when running FurMark for an hour is fairly consistent at about 1300 MHz, and temperatures hold steady at 79° C. Unfortunately, adding any CPU load (such as running Prime95 on top of FurMark) sees intermittent spikes in both the GPU's clock speed and temperature. An hour-long play session of The Witcher 3, which fully loads the CPU and GPU with a more realistic level of stress, pushes the GPU past 90° C. Performance again bounces around, spiking between 1570-1600 MHz. This has little effect on real-world frames per second, which stay consistent. All said, the thermal control of the Precision 3530 is limited, and this may result in inconsistent performance over heavy workloads. 0123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930Tooltip The Witcher 3 high CPU Clock (GHz) GPU Clock (MHz) Average CPU Temperature (°C) Average GPU Temperature (°C) Prime95 Stress 2.2 - 74 - FurMark Stress 4.2 1300 67 79 Prime95 + FurMark Stress 2.0 1290 85 87 Witcher 3 Stress 4.2 1585 80 91 The problems with heat management create a ripple effect to other aspects of the notebook. In particular, fan noise suffers. The fan ramps up aggressively even under light work (office work, web browsing, etc.). Under full load, the fan has its work cut out for it. In order to dump all the heat generated by the CPU and GPU, it is forced to spin fast and loud. Noise levels hit just shy of 50 dB(A), and the high pitch of the fan will cut through an office. Dell would have done well to had a second fan to improve both heat and noise management. The ThinkPad P52 and HP ZBook are much quieter. On the plus side, there is no noticeable coil whine or other unwarranted electrical noise.

Heat is mostly contained around the CPU and GPU (along the left side of the notebook). As such, the right side of the keyboard and bottom panel remain cool, even under load, but the left side of the keyboard gets warm to the touch, and the bottom panel gets too hot to hold in a lap. The device cannot move enough heat away from the CPU and GPU to make lap use comfortable. 42.6 °C 109 F39.2 °C 103 F30 °C 86 F 44.8 °C 113 F39.4 °C 103 F27.8 °C 82 F 23.4 °C 74 F23 °C 73 F23 °C 73 F Maximum: 44.8 °C = 113 F Average: 32.6 °C = 91 F 31 °C 88 F38.4 °C 101 F44.4 °C 112 F27 °C 81 F44.2 °C 112 F56.4 °C 134 F25.4 °C 78 F25.6 °C 78 F28 °C 82 F Maximum: 56.4 °C = 134 F Average: 35.6 °C = 96 F Power Supply (max.) 41 °C = 106 F | Room Temperature 20 °C = 68 F | Fluke 62 Mini (±) The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 32.6 °C / 91 F, compared to the average of 32 °C / 90 F for the devices in the class Workstation.

(+) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.9 °C / 82.2 F (+4.5 °C / 8.1 F). The speakers are above average. While bass is anemic, mids and highs are loud and remain clear, even at maximum volume. This makes the Precision 3530 well-tuned for video conferencing and vocal audio. As far as multimedia and music go, the Precision 3530 is disappointing. The weak bass makes the overall profile sound thin. However, this isn't uncommon for workstations. After all, their main purpose is not for media consumption. dB(A) 0102030405060708090Deep BassMiddle BassHigh BassLower RangeMidsHigher MidsLower HighsMid HighsUpper HighsSuper Highs2037.437.22535.634.13132.836.14032.533.45033.633.96332.332.78031.531.810029.440.112528.844.216029.342.420027.249.225026.959.431526634002660.75002663.163025.36580025.270.4100024.773.3125024.374160023.971.220002466.3250023.663.1315023.763.9400023.562.7500023.463.3630023.366.2800023.265.21000023.360.81250023.159.61600023.166.1SPL36.380.3N2.746.7median 24.3median 63.1Delta1.64.145.64345.638.335.938.336.535.936.535.734.235.735.433.235.433.934.333.936.835.136.846.732.646.753.731.153.758.23058.254.229.154.249.627.649.65427.95457.527.157.556.826.856.866.625.766.668.325.268.366.725.166.765.524.765.56925.16958.824.558.862.524.262.569.223.969.27223.97266.423.866.463.323.763.37123.67166.823.666.869.523.769.566.323.766.379.636.879.646.82.946.8median 65.5median 25.1median 65.56.31.36.3hearing rangehide median Pink NoiseDell Precision 3530Dell Precision 5520 UHD Frequency diagram (checkboxes can be checked and unchecked to compare devices) Dell Precision 3530 audio analysis(±) | speaker loudness is average but good (74 dB) Bass 100 - 315 Hz (±) | reduced bass - on average 13.4% lower than median (±) | linearity of bass is average (14.9% delta to prev. frequency) Mids 400 - 2000 Hz (±) | higher mids - on average 5.5% higher than median (±) | linearity of mids is average (7.5% delta to prev. frequency) Highs 2 - 16 kHz (+) | balanced highs - only 1.3% away from median (+) | highs are linear (5.2% delta to prev. frequency) Overall 100 - 16.000 Hz (±) | linearity of overall sound is average (17.9% difference to median) Compared to same class » 49% of all tested devices in this class were better, 13% similar, 38% worse » The best had a delta of 7%, average was 18%, worst was 35% Compared to all devices tested » 31% of all tested devices were better, 8% similar, 62% worse » The best had a delta of 4%, average was 26%, worst was 134% Dell Precision 5520 UHD audio analysis(±) | speaker loudness is average but good (79.6 dB) Bass 100 - 315 Hz (±) | reduced bass - on average 12.8% lower than median (±) | linearity of bass is average (14.2% delta to prev. frequency) Mids 400 - 2000 Hz (+) | balanced mids - only 4% away from median (±) | linearity of mids is average (9.9% delta to prev. frequency) Highs 2 - 16 kHz (+) | balanced highs - only 3.3% away from median (±) | linearity of highs is average (12% delta to prev. frequency) Overall 100 - 16.000 Hz (±) | linearity of overall sound is average (16.7% difference to median) Compared to same class » 37% of all tested devices in this class were better, 10% similar, 52% worse » The best had a delta of 7%, average was 18%, worst was 35% Compared to all devices tested » 23% of all tested devices were better, 7% similar, 70% worse » The best had a delta of 4%, average was 26%, worst was 134% The Precision 3530 is fairly power efficient, especially compared to similarly-specced workstations. Under load, the machine pulls about 85 Watts on average, which is about in line with competing devices. Under full load, power draw stays below 92 Watts, which looks significantly better than other workstations on paper. However, keep in mind that the Precision 3530 throttles under load. This may explain the lower power draw compared to other notebooks. The 180 Watt power supply supplies more than enough power for the machine.

The Precision 3530 lasts over 9 hours in our WiFi v1.3 battery test and should easily get through a workday unplugged, so long as work is limited to light web browsing and simple office tasks (word processing, email, etc.). Dell offers a few options for battery capacity, including the same 68 Wh battery used in the older 3520. Runtimes with the smaller battery should be about in line with those of the 3520. Road warriors that need even longer battery life should look to Lenovo and the ThinkPad P52, which topped the Precision 3530 by 78 minutes in the same WiFi battery test.

Cons- inconsistent performance - poor thermal management - uncomfortable hot spots on chassis under load - fan is too aggressive and is loud - screen is dim The story of the Dell Precision 3530 is one of compromise. Dell has recycled the chassis of the older 3520 but packed in more powerful hardware. This choice plagues the 3530 with similar problems, notably heat and noise management. Just like the 3520, the 3530 has uncomfortably warm hot spots. The fan also ramps up quickly and loudly. Worse yet, the poor heat management results in some severe thermal throttling, limiting CPU performance over heavy loads by up to 20%. These compromises mar an otherwise great device. The 3530 is built well, has an excellent keyboard, and has a great compliment of ports (including a Thunderbolt 3 port). The screen is about average and should be adequate for non-color dependent professional work. Battery runtimes are excellent. Despite all these positives, the Precision 3530 ultimately falls flat due to its inconsistent performance. The Xeon CPU and Quadro GPU are just too much for the mediocre heat system. The result is heavy throttling, especially in CPU performance, and a loud and aggressive fan. There are much better options that offer similar (if not better) performance that is much more consistent. HP's Zbook 15 G4 or the Lenovo ThinkPad P52 would be better choices.
