DELL Precision 3590 Mobile Workstation (2024)

DELL Precision 3590 Mobile Workstation (2024) is a 15.6-inch mobile workstation in the mainstream tier of the Precision family, built for engineers, architects, developers and businesses that need a stable, easy-to-upgrade work machine. It runs Intel Core Ultra vPro processors from the Meteor Lake generation, offers an optional NVIDIA RTX 500 Ada graphics card for engineering software, and weighs in at just 1.62kg. This review covers the design, display, performance, security, connectivity and the points worth weighing before you pick a configuration.

Dell Precision 3590 Design: Compact and Light for a 15.6-Inch Workstation

Dell Precision 3590 follows the familiar minimalist style of Dell's business lineup, with a muted gray chassis, gently rounded edges and a clean layout. The design suits the office, the engineering department and client meetings alike.

The laptop measures 357.8mm wide and 233.3mm deep, is 20.8mm thick at the front and 22.8mm at the rear, and has a starting weight of 1.62kg. For a 15.6-inch workstation with a discrete graphics option, that is light enough to carry in a backpack every day. If you need a Dell laptop for engineering work but still travel often, the Precision 3590 is well worth considering.

Dell Precision 3590 Display: 15.6-Inch FHD with 400-Nit and Touch Options

Dell Precision 3590 (2024) uses a 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display with a 60Hz refresh rate. Dell offers three options: non-touch at 250 nits, non-touch at 400 nits and touch at 250 nits. All three include an EMZA Prox sensor that detects when the user is in front of the screen.

The 250-nit version is fine for air-conditioned offices with steady lighting. If you often work near a window or on a job site, the 400-nit version is noticeably easier to read. The touch version is handy for taking notes and reviewing drawings quickly. For color-critical work, you should add an external monitor over HDMI 2.1 or Thunderbolt 4.

Precision 3590 Performance with Intel Core Ultra vPro, RTX 500 Ada and DDR5 RAM

Dell Precision 3590 offers six Intel Core Ultra vPro processor options in two groups. The power-efficient U series includes the Core Ultra 5 125U and Core Ultra 7 155U (12 cores, 14 threads). The high-performance H series includes the Core Ultra 5 125H and Core Ultra 5 135H (14 cores, 18 threads), plus the Core Ultra 7 155H and Core Ultra 7 165H (16 cores, 22 threads, max boost up to 5.0GHz).

The version available at Hung Phat Laptop uses the Core Ultra 7 155U (up to 4.8GHz, 12MB cache) with 32GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The U-series chip runs cool and saves battery, and it is enough for programming, 2D AutoCAD, large spreadsheets and online meetings. If you regularly render, run simulations or compile large projects, the Core Ultra 7 155H or Core Ultra 7 165H versions score about 50% higher in multi-core.

For graphics, the laptop has integrated Intel Graphics and an optional NVIDIA RTX 500 Ada 4GB GDDR6 discrete card. The RTX 500 Ada belongs to NVIDIA's professional card lineup and suits CAD software, mid-level 3D modeling and tasks that need CUDA acceleration.

DELL Precision 3590 (2024) uses DDR5 5600MHz RAM in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB options, along with a PCIe Gen4 M.2 SSD from 256GB to 2TB. Both RAM and SSD are upgradeable, so you can start with a modest configuration and expand as your projects grow. 16GB suits office work and programming, while 32GB or more is the better choice for virtual machines, BIM models or large datasets.

Dell Precision 3590 Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, 4W Speakers and 1080p Webcam

The keyboard on the Dell Precision 3590 includes a full numeric keypad on the right, handy for engineers, accountants and anyone who enters a lot of data. The touchpad is wide and comfortable for scrolling and gestures in Windows 11 Pro.

The 2 x 2W stereo speakers (4W total) use Realtek Waves MaxxAudio 13.0 and are clear enough for online meetings and light music. For fuller sound, use headphones or external speakers. The FHD 1080p 30fps webcam comes with dual microphones and an ambient light sensor, producing a sharper video-call image than the 720p webcams common on business laptops.

Data Security on the Dell Precision 3590 with vPro, IR Webcam and Presence Detection

Every processor option on the Dell Precision 3590 is built on the Intel vPro platform, which lets IT departments manage, update and troubleshoot machines remotely. The laptop ships with Windows 11 Pro, including drive encryption and device management tools for business.

The RGB-IR webcam supports facial sign-in through Windows Hello. Express Sign-In with presence detection locks the laptop when you walk away and wakes it when you return, while Intelligent Privacy helps keep others from viewing your screen. The laptop also has a lock slot so it can be secured to your desk.

Dell Precision 3590 Ports and Battery: 2 Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, RJ45 and a 54Wh Battery

Dell Precision 3590 (2024) has all the ports you need for work without an adapter: 2 Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps) ports with DisplayPort, USB4 and charging support, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (one with PowerShare), 1 HDMI 2.1 port, 1 RJ45 Ethernet port and an audio jack. Wireless connectivity comes from Intel Wi-Fi 6/6E AX211 and Bluetooth 5.

The RJ45 port is very convenient on a company's internal network or when transferring large drawing files. The two Thunderbolt 4 ports let you connect a dock to drive multiple monitors and charge the laptop with a single cable.

The 54Wh battery is moderate for a 15.6-inch laptop, and real-world runtime depends heavily on the processor and graphics you choose. A U-series version without a discrete card will be more power efficient. If you often work away from an outlet, lower the screen brightness, switch to a power-saving mode or carry a USB-C power bank with Power Delivery.

DELL Precision 3590 Mobile Workstation (2024) Overview and Verdict

DELL Precision 3590 Mobile Workstation (2024) is a 15.6-inch workstation that balances weight, a full set of ports, business-grade security and upgradeability. It suits engineers, architects, developers and businesses that need a work machine that stays stable for years.

The points to weigh: the display is only FHD at 60Hz, and the 250-nit version is a bit dim near a window, so choose the 400-nit version or add an external monitor if needed. The 54Wh battery is not large, and a U-series chip will help extend runtime. The RTX 500 Ada 4GB card only suits mid-level graphics work, so heavier 3D workloads call for a higher-tier workstation.
