DELL Precision 3591 Mobile Workstation (2024)

DELL Precision 3591 Mobile Workstation (2024) is a 15.6-inch mobile workstation built for engineers, CAD users, graphic designers and video editors who need a machine that runs reliably all day, at the office or on a job site. It runs on Intel Core Ultra H-series chips with vPro, with optional NVIDIA RTX Ada discrete graphics for professional software. Below, we cover the design, display, performance, connectivity, battery, and what to weigh before you choose your specs.

Dell Precision 3591 Design: Compact and Sturdy for Engineering Work

Dell Precision 3591 keeps the familiar look of a business workstation: a silver-gray finish, squared-off lines and a minimalist lid. That professional appearance fits right in at an engineering office, a design studio or a client meeting.

The laptop weighs 1.79kg and measures 357.8mm wide and 233.3mm deep, with a thickness of 22.7mm at the front edge and 24.7mm at the rear. For a 15.6-inch workstation with discrete graphics, that weight is still light enough to carry in a backpack every day. If you need a Dell laptop for engineering work over the long haul, the Precision line is worth a close look.

Dell Precision 15 3591 Display: A Sharp 15.6-Inch Full HD Panel with a Touch Option

Dell Precision 15 3591 uses a 15.6-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display with a 60Hz refresh rate. There are three options: a 250-nit non-touch panel for office work, a 400-nit non-touch panel if you often work near a window or outdoors, and a 250-nit touch panel for anyone who wants to interact directly with the screen.

At 15.6 inches, the screen is wide enough to open CAD drawings, spreadsheets or a video timeline alongside your toolbars. Every option includes EMZA Prox technology, which supports user presence detection. The configuration on sale at Hung Phat Laptop has the 250-nit touch panel; if you need a higher resolution for color work, you can connect an external monitor via HDMI 2.1 or Thunderbolt 4.

Dell Precision 3591 Performance with Intel Core Ultra, RTX Ada Graphics and DDR5 RAM

Dell Precision 3591 (2024) offers four Intel Core Ultra Meteor Lake chip options, all with vPro for business: the 14-core, 18-thread Core Ultra 5 135H, the 16-core, 22-thread Core Ultra 7 155H and Core Ultra 7 165H, and the 16-core, 22-thread Core Ultra 9 185H with a max clock of 5.1GHz. The configuration on sale at Hung Phat Laptop uses the Core Ultra 7 155H, with a max clock of 4.8GHz and 24MB of cache.

In practice, the Core Ultra 7 155H handles AutoCAD, SolidWorks at moderate detail, programming, virtual machines and Full HD video editing. The Core Ultra 7 165H scores almost the same as the 155H, so it is only worth choosing when the price gap is small. The Core Ultra 9 185H is about 20% faster than the 155H in multi-core, a good fit if you render or run simulations regularly, while the Core Ultra 5 135H suits 2D work and engineering office tasks.
For graphics, the laptop includes integrated Intel Arc graphics, with three discrete GPU options: the NVIDIA RTX 500 Ada 4GB, RTX 1000 Ada 6GB and RTX 2000 Ada 8GB GDDR6. The configuration on sale uses the RTX 500 Ada 4GB, enough to accelerate CAD software, moderate 3D modeling and video editing. The table below lists only the cards that have reference data (the RTX 1000 Ada has no average scores yet).

DELL Precision 3591 uses DDR5 5600MHz RAM with 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB options; the configuration on sale has 32GB, plenty to run design software, a browser, and virtual machines side by side. Storage is a PCIe Gen4 M.2 SSD in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB options, and the configuration on sale uses 512GB. If your projects are heavy and your libraries large, plan ahead for a higher-capacity SSD upgrade, or add an external drive over Thunderbolt 4.

Keyboard, Touchpad, Speakers and FHD IR Webcam on the Dell Precision 3591

The keyboard on the Dell Precision 3591 includes a dedicated number pad, handy for data entry, spreadsheets and engineering software. The wide touchpad sits off-center to the left, in line with the main keys, and supports Windows multi-touch gestures.

The 1080p 30fps RGB-IR webcam is paired with dual microphones, an ambient light sensor, and Express Sign-In with Presence Detection and Intelligent Privacy: the laptop notices when you sit down, so you can sign in with your face through Windows Hello. The 2 x 2W stereo speakers (4W total) with Realtek Waves MaxxAudio 13.0 are clear enough for online meetings; for music or careful audio checks on video, use headphones or external speakers.

Dell Precision 3591 (2024) Ports and Battery: 2 Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, RJ45, 64Wh Battery

Dell Precision 3591 (2024) has 2 Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps) ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode, USB4 and Power Delivery charging, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (1 with PowerShare), 1 HDMI 2.1 port, 1 RJ45 LAN port, 1 microSD card slot, 1 audio jack and a lock slot. You can plug in a mouse, USB drives, a projector or a wired connection directly, with no adapter needed.

Wireless connectivity uses an Intel Wi-Fi 6/6E AX211 2x2 MIMO card with speeds up to 2400Mbps on the 2.4/5/6GHz bands, plus Bluetooth 5. The laptop charges over Type-C, with 100W charging on integrated-graphics models and 130W on models with discrete graphics.

The 64Wh battery is average for a workstation with discrete graphics, so running 3D software drains it noticeably faster than office work. If you work away from an outlet, switch to a power-saving mode, lower the screen brightness, and bring the Type-C charger.

DELL Precision 3591 Mobile Workstation (2024) Overview and Review

DELL Precision 3591 Mobile Workstation (2024) is a 15.6-inch workstation that balances performance, a full set of ports, and a 1.79kg weight. It suits engineers, CAD users, designers doing moderate 2D/3D work, programmers, and businesses that want vPro machines that are easy to manage.

The points to weigh: the display is only Full HD 60Hz, though you can connect a high-resolution external monitor for color work. The touch version reaches only 250 nits, so if you often work in bright places, choose the 400-nit version. The RTX 500 Ada 4GB suits moderate 3D modeling; for large models, choose the RTX 2000 Ada 8GB. You can browse more models in the Dell Precision 15 category.
