Our Verdict
Dell Precision 3591 (2024)
Dell Precision 5690 (2024)
The Dell Precision 5690 (2024) is a higher-end and much better workstation laptop than the Dell Precision 3591 (2024). The 5690 is a more premium laptop that provides a better user experience. It has a larger haptic touchpad, much better-sounding up-firing speakers, and significantly longer battery life. Also, it's available with sharper, brighter displays, including a 4k+ OLED panel. While both laptops are configurable with Intel Meteor Lake CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs, the 5690 gives you more options; you can get it with up to an NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU. One niche use case the 3591 presents over the 5690 is its compatibility with cellular networks. If you need a laptop with mobile connectivity for remote or on-the-go use, then the 3591 is the better option.
