Dell Latitude 5580 NoteBook

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the DELL Laptop Battery

We reviewed the Dell Latitude 5580 not too long ago. Then, the entry-level business device proved its suitability for the office. Its stamina and good input devices gave us a good impression. Nonetheless, the 768p TN panel laid a shadow over the entire device. So we are excited to review a different configuration with Full HD IPS panel and a slightly stronger Intel Core i5-7300U CPU and batteries such as DELL MR90Y Battery, DELL XCMRD Battery, DELL Inspiron 3421 Battery, DELL Inspiron 5421 Battery, DELL Inspiron 5521 Battery, DELL Inspiron 5721 Battery, DELL Latitude 5437 Battery, DELL Latitude 5537 Battery, DELL Latitude 2521 Battery, DELL Vostro 3445 Battery, DELL Vostro 2521 Battery, DELL Vostro 3546 Battery. The office partner is available for $970. If you look at the device on the official Dell website, the price is quite a bit higher: $1040.

As we will mainly focus on the main differences to the version we already reviewed, we suggest that you take a look at the detailed review of the Dell Latitude 5580 for further information.

As in our last review, we have chosen various devices for our comparison field. Apart from the economically configured Latitude 5580 we have also chosen the Lenovo ThinkPad T470s. The ThinkPad's configuration is almost equivalent to our Dell Latitude 5580. However, the Lenovo laptop is equipped with a faster 256-GB SSD.

It is interesting that the device seems to require more power while idling. In the last review of the Latitude we measured a power consumption of 3.5-7.3 W. Our current test unit requires 4.3-11.8 W. Under load, power consumption increases to up to 29 W; when we put on Prime95 only, we measured 45 W. The reason behind this difference is that Prime95 is only aimed at CPU performance. Therefore, it can require a higher clock rate and higher CPU performance.

Dell has topped up the capacity of the Latitude E series with a battery capacity of 68 W. In order to get realistic results, we simulated surfing the web. The Latitude 5580 lasted over 10 hours. This means that our test unit can even survive long workdays. However, the Latitude with the alternative configuration had an even better battery runtime with 11.5 hours.

The difference to the Latitude 5580 model we already tested may not seem big at first glance. But particularly the Full HD screen makes a difference and completes the package. We already admired the device's good input devices in the last review, which are suited to long typing sessions at work or at home. Particularly for the business sector, the Dell Latitude 5580 offers some important security standards.

The processor update in this configuration was unsuccessful. Our benchmarks found no noticeable performance improvement. It even lags an hour behind in battery runtime.
