The Dell Precision 5750 Mobile Workstation, released in mid-2020, is Dell's thin-and-light 17-inch professional workstation — often described as the "world's smallest and thinnest 17-inch mobile workstation" at the time of its launch. Sharing a Platinum Silver aluminum chassis with a black carbon-fiber palm rest with the consumer XPS 17 9700, it targets architects, video editors, engineers, and creative pros who need genuine ISV-certified workstation performance in a truly portable form factor — under 20 mm thick and starting at 1.84 kg. Powered by 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake H-series Core or Xeon processors and NVIDIA Quadro RTX / T-series graphics, it's ISV-certified for CAD, DCC, and engineering applications like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Revit, and Adobe Creative Cloud. Because this workstation was fully customizable at checkout with a large menu of professional-tier components, your exact combination of core parts dictates its final resale price. Many people don't realize a premium mobile workstation like this still holds strong resale value long after purchase — trading it in for cash through our service is often faster and simpler than listing it yourself and dealing with buyers.

Confirming your Precision 5750

The Precision 5750 shares its chassis with the consumer XPS 17 9700 and looks very similar to the 15-inch Precision 5550, so telling them apart requires a quick check of your regulatory label or processor. Here's what confirms the 2020 Precision 5750:

✅ Dell Precision 5750 (2020)

  • Regulatory model: P92F (type P92F001)
  • Processor: 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake-H — Core i5-10400H, i7-10750H, i7-10850H, i7-10875H, i9-10885H, or Intel Xeon W-10855M / W-10885M
  • Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro T2000 (4GB) or Quadro RTX 3000 (6GB) — professional workstation GPUs (not gaming GeForce)
  • 17.3-inch display, 16:10 aspect ratio, InfinityEdge bezels
  • Chassis: Platinum Silver aluminum with black carbon-fiber palm rest
  • Release year: 2020 (sold through 2021)

❌ Not this page if you have…

  • Dell XPS 17 9700 — same chassis, but the consumer line: no Xeon processors, no Quadro graphics, no vPro (uses GeForce GTX 1650 Ti / RTX 2060 instead)
  • Precision 5550 — the 15-inch sibling with the same design philosophy; different regulatory model
  • Precision 5760 (2021) — the successor with 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake and NVIDIA RTX A-series graphics
  • Precision 7750 — the thicker 17-inch workstation flagship of the same era with more powerful graphics (up to Quadro RTX 5000)

Fastest way to confirm: Flip the laptop over and look at the regulatory label on the bottom cover for "Reg Model: P92F" — that's the 2020 Precision 5750. You'll also find a 7-character Service Tag on the same label, which our team uses to look up your exact factory build. To double-check inside Windows, press Win + R, type msinfo32, press Enter, and confirm the "Processor" line shows a 10th Gen Intel Core or Intel Xeon W-108xxM chip. If it's an 11th-gen chip, you likely have the newer Precision 5760; if it's a GeForce GPU rather than Quadro, you have the consumer XPS 17 9700.

Display & audio

Display

Signature 17.3-inch InfinityEdge display panels with ultra-thin borders and a productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio. Two configurations were offered: standard FHD+ (1920 × 1200) at 60Hz non-touch with 100% sRGB and 500 nits brightness, or the flagship UHD+ (3840 × 2400) at 60Hz touch panel with 100% Adobe RGB coverage, 500 nits brightness, and Dell PremierColor factory calibration for color-critical professional work. Both include ComfortView low-blue-light certification.

Audio

Dual 2.5W stereo top-firing speakers (5W total peak) tuned with Waves MaxxAudio Pro, paired with a dual-array digital microphone cluster for clear voice capture on professional video calls.

Ports & connectivity

The Precision 5750 uses an ultra-minimalist all-USB-C port loadout to preserve its slim workstation profile. A Dell DA20 dual-port dongle (adds one full-size HDMI and one USB-A port) was included in the box to bridge legacy accessories — check if you still have it, since it modestly boosts your trade-in offer.

Left Side
  • 2× Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) with Power Delivery & DisplayPort 1.4 (40 Gbps; either port can charge the laptop)
  • 1× Wedge-shaped Kensington lock slot
Right Side
  • 2× Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) with Power Delivery & DisplayPort 1.4
  • 1× Full-size SD card slot (SD 4.0 UHS-II — fast enough for RAW photo/video workflows)
  • 1× 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack

No built-in USB-A, HDMI, or Ethernet ports. The 5750 uses only the four Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C ports on the body — legacy connections require the included DA20 dongle or a separate adapter/dock. There is also no separate barrel-plug DC-in jack; the laptop charges over any of its four USB-C ports.

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 Bluetooth 5.1 vPro (select CPUs)

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm my laptop is the Precision 5750, not the XPS 17 9700?
This is a common point of confusion since the Precision 5750 and the consumer XPS 17 9700 share the exact same chassis, keyboard, and lid design. The easiest way to tell them apart is the regulatory model on the bottom label: P92F is the Precision 5750, while P92F001 → XPS 17 9700 uses a different code. Check your graphics too — a Precision 5750 will show an NVIDIA Quadro card (T2000 or RTX 3000), while an XPS 17 shows an NVIDIA GeForce card (GTX 1650 Ti or RTX 2060). Xeon processors and vPro branding are also Precision-exclusive. Inside Windows, press Win + R, type msinfo32, and check both the "Processor" and "Baseboard Product" lines. For step-by-step help, see our Dell model number guide.
02 How is the 5750 different from the 5550, 5760, or the thicker Precision 7750?
Dell's Precision "5000-series" thin-and-light workstations look almost identical across sizes and generations. Quick reference: the Precision 5550 is the 15.6-inch sibling of the 5750 (same generation, same GPU options, smaller screen); the Precision 5760 is the 2021 successor with 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake processors and newer NVIDIA RTX A-series workstation graphics; and the Precision 7750 is a completely different, thicker 17-inch workstation with more powerful graphics options (up to Quadro RTX 5000) and legacy ports built in — different chassis, different weight class. Each has its own regulatory number on the bottom label and its own sell page on our site — picking the wrong one gives you an inaccurate quote. See our Dell Precision trade-in category to find the correct model.
03 Can I trade in a Precision 5750 that has wear or system issues?
Yes, you can. We purchase Precision workstations in all operational states. Whether your unit runs like new, has a swollen battery pushing up the trackpad or bottom cover (a known issue on this and related XPS/Precision 5000-series generations), suffers from a cracked display, has an aged battery that won't hold a charge, exhibits loud fan noise, or won't power on at all, adjusting your condition grading choices above will lock in a firm cash value. Our technicians test every device on arrival, so being upfront about any known issues avoids a revised offer later. Even non-functional units retain meaningful salvage value thanks to the premium NVIDIA Quadro GPU, 4K touch display panel, and aluminum chassis inside.
04 Which internal configurations raise my Precision 5750 trade-in value the most?
Many people don't realize that on a professional workstation, the NVIDIA Quadro GPU is the single largest value driver — a Quadro RTX 3000 (6GB) commands a dramatically stronger payout than the entry Quadro T2000, since it's ISV-certified for engineering and rendering applications and remains sought after on the secondary market. After the GPU, an Intel Xeon or Core i9 processor, a full 64GB RAM kit (particularly ECC memory on Xeon builds), a 1TB+ SSD (or a dual-drive RAID setup), and the stunning UHD+ 4K touch display will all elevate your final check amount. Including the original Dell DA20 dongle and 130W USB-C charger in the box also modestly boosts the offer. Select your exact specs above and the offer updates automatically.
05 Should I wipe my SSD first, and what is the payout process?
Because Precision workstations often contain sensitive professional project files (CAD designs, client work, engineering data), we highly encourage backing up your local files to an external drive or company storage, signing out of your Microsoft, Dell, and any professional software accounts (Adobe, Autodesk, SolidWorks, etc.), and running a factory reset via Settings → Update & Security → Recovery → Reset this PC (Windows 10) or Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC (Windows 11) before packaging. If your unit was managed by a corporate IT team, be sure to release it from Intune / Autopilot enrollment first — otherwise the device may re-lock itself when it connects to the internet. You do not need to unscrew the M.2 SSDs yourself; our technical team handles certified, multi-pass data sanitation on all incoming drives (including any RAID array) — review our data erasure protocols for details. Once your workstation arrives and our intake team completes functional testing, payment is approved within two working days via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or a mailed check. The prepaid, insured shipping label is completely free. New to this? Our how it works page walks through every step.
