It will be able to withstand extreme temperatures, altitudes, sand, dust, humidity, and shock like a boss. The Precision 7550 passed 17 MIL-STD 810G tests, which makes it one of the most durable laptops you can get. Speaking of security features, this laptop comes with Intel vPro technology, the smart card slot, which is both contact and contactless, a fingerprint reader, an IR camera for Windows Hello, express sign-in which locks the PC when you walk away and automatically unlocks when you are back at your desk or work station.

You have two Thunderbolt 3 ports, a Dell smart card slot which works for two-factor authentications, a noble lock slot, two USB 3.2 ports, a headphone jack, an SD card slot, a Mini Displayport for sharing the screen, an HDMI 2.0 port, and an RJ45 Ethernet port. This machine also gives you a lot of freedom in the ports department. Still, on memory, this machine comes with a 512GB PCIe M.2 NVMe Class 40 SSD. This is an Intel Core i7 6-core machine with 16GB RAM, and a 6GB Quadro RTX 3000 graphics card. The speakers are a set of high-quality ones with the machine being one of the most friendly ones I have carried when we consider the weight.

The Precision 7550 also comes with powerful graphics and processor performance, the display is a bright 4K display, top quality battery life, comfortable, and strong but finger-friendly keyboard. One of the first considerations when putting this list together, for me, was that the laptop needs to have a smart card reader, and the Precision 7550 passes on that level. The first laptop on this list of the best laptops with smart card readers is the Dell Precision 7550.
