I have a company provided 6 month old Dell Precision 5750. It's the worst POS I've ever had the pleasure to work with.
I use it primarily to do remote desktop to my desktop at work. IOW: I don't stress it at all.
- I already had IT replace the SSD because it would boot Windows but the screen remained black.
- The trackpad is almost useless, with a lot of phantom clicks. Maybe that's because I've been spoilt by 15 years of MacBook trackpads.
- Speaking of the trackpad, when you press it to click, it started feeling weird after a few days, as if something mechanical came loose.
- After a few days of non-interrupted use (as in: not rebooting), the microphone stops working. Nothing else but a reboot fixes it, but I've just resigned to using MS Teams on my phone for voice and audio, and the laptop for screen sharing with volume set to 0.
- It never goes into a low power state. I'm only doing remote desktop and not running anything else, but if you'd go by the noise of the fan, you'd think it's mining crypto at peak performance. When you check the control panel, the CPU load is just a few percent.
- Recently it started hanging every few days, forcing another reboot.
But, hey, the 4K display is pretty good and it even has a touch screen. Which I'm reminded off whenever my finger accidentally hits it. (Touch screens on laptops are indeed useless.)
Not possible, CPU is barely working and I monitor it all the time. IT is managing all settings and protection with monitoring and I do work in Security field and know how to be very secure. Thermal paste is properly installed.
The issue is thermal thresholds where medium-high fan noise starts at ~45-50C which is way too low.
