Pros and Cons

Dell Latitude 15 3520

Strengths

It has a diverse I/O port selection, including USB Type-C, USB-A, HDMI, and an optional SIM card tray.
The laptop features upgradability options, making it more future-proof, with two SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM and one M.2 slot for storage upgrades.
The Dell Latitude 15 3520 has a decent contrast ratio of 960:1 on its full HD IPS display, which also offers better viewing angles.

Weaknesses

The laptop's all-plastic body flexes significantly, causing audible cracks and squeaks, making it feel less durable.
The keyboard has short travel but is clicky, and the touchpad is not the smoothest, although it makes up for it with its large size.
The display uses PWM for brightness adjustments, which might cause flickering at lower brightness levels, although our Health Guard profile eliminates this issue entirely.
Dell's decision to use a plastic build helps keep costs down but compromises on structural rigidity and durability.
The Intel Core i5-1145G7 CPU couldn't achieve frequencies above 3.0 GHz mark even with the BIOS performance mode enabled, which might affect performance.
