Who each one is for
The Dell Precision 5690 is the one to take for CAD/ISV-certified workflows in a thin chassis and high-res color-critical work, though it is not the pick for RAM upgraders. The HP ZBook Power 16 G11 suits budget-conscious ISV-certified workflows, though it is the wrong buy for heavy rendering/simulation workloads. Our rating of the Dell Precision 5690 (7.5/10): the Precision 5690 is a 16-inch mobile workstation with a Core Ultra 7 165H, 32GB of LPDDR5X and a 3840 x 2400 IPS panel rated at 500 nits. A 99.5Wh battery, Thunderbolt 4 and WiFi 7 suit CAD and ISV-certified workflows plus color-critical work in a slim body. The 32GB is soldered and the display is 60Hz. At 2.17 kg it is not light. Confirm the exact graphics card for your software before buying.
