Performance scores
Latitude 3550 (2022): the carry-first Latitude with a high CPU and a quiet card
The Latitude 3550 is Dell's 2022 mid-range business body: a Core i3 1315U with a GeForce MX570 2GB. The sheet's split is unusually sharp — top-quarter mobility and a top-quarter CPU on one side, a graphics column measured well below the field middle on the other.
Where it holds up
Mobility is the flagged strength: 90 against a whole-catalog median of 48, an 88 percent edge in the top quarter of the field. The CPU score reads 77.18, high band and top quarter — real compute for the class. The comfort axes hold their end: office 71.54 high band, engineering CAD 44 mid-band, performance 46.18 mid-band, value 39.65 mid-band — the most honest ticket-to-capability reading of the batch's MX-card Latitudes.
Where it falls short
The flagged weakness is graphics: 15.17 against a whole-catalog median of 32.85, 54 percent below the field middle — a measured reading for the MX570, not an artifact, and the single recorded flag confirms the modesty: Grand Theft Auto V fails its minimum bar, so no gaming claim exists. The graphics-fed axes follow it down: gaming 28 and modeling 24 low-band, photo work 20 low-band — the sheet's honest cost of spending the budget on the CPU and the carry.
Price and depreciation
No listing price is recorded for this configuration, and no depreciation curve is modeled — so there is no resale math to quote and no dollar projection to weigh.
Alternatives to consider
The Latitude 3440 (2023) in this batch trades some of this record's CPU lead for a mainstream graphics placing at 49.14 — the stronger sheet if any visual work matters. The ProBook 4 G2i 14" offers the 2026 platform answer: top-band office and top-quarter reliability with the carry column intact.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class, the Latitude 3550 (2022) is the carry-first, compute-second Latitude: top-quarter mobility and CPU with the graphics column measured, quiet and honestly low — a work machine, card notwithstanding.
