Description
The Dell Vostro 5501 is a slim 15.6-inch business laptop from 2020 — the larger-screen sibling of the Vostro 5401, sharing the same Intel 10th-generation Ice Lake platform. It offers a light aluminum-accented design, optional NVIDIA MX330 graphics, and a camera privacy cover, aimed at small-business productivity.
Upgrade Path
Good upgrade headroom for its class: two DDR4 SO-DIMM slots support up to 32GB of replaceable RAM, and the M.2 NVMe SSD can be swapped for larger or faster storage.
