The 5540 is available with either a 28W processor that uses DDR5 memory (i5-1340P, i5-1350P, i7-1370P) or a 15W processor that uses DDR4 memory (i5-1345U, i7-1355U, i7-1365U.) If anyone has experience with an example of each side-by-side and can compare how hot/noisy the fan is I would appreciate your comment. A few years ago, I bought a batch of Latitude 5501s with either i7-9850H 45 watt or i7-1065G7 15 watt processors. The 45 watt felt and sounded like a hair dryer, the other was fine.

Does it have fingerprint reader?? Or maybe I missed it..

I have heard the latitude series over the last few years are they get hot really quick(bought a Latitude 5520 2 years ago). Is this true for the one you have in the video?

[MikeJMcK]

Thanks for the video, I get this model from work next week and this is the only video I could find with this particular combination of specs (same ones I get with the work laptop). Out of curiosity, is the battery life not on the lower end? Even the higher 52Wh battery seems meager for a system with a p series CPU and dedicated graphics.

I have this exact model and I have never used that button at the back to turn on this laptop. Seems to me that it's a sim tray, isn't it? Although the specs did not mention any cellular module installed on this model, can you confirm this? (btw tried pressing it, it's just not budging to be pressed nor turns on the laptop.) Thanks!

Will it support 130W power adapter, can I use the Dell 130W USB-C charger for this model (5540), or it will support only upto 100W charger?

Mine comes with win 10. Also WiFi 6 not working
