upgrading from a Precision 5520 and Latitude 7420 has ~ the same processor speed, which is only true advantage of the Precision... so won't know what I am missing in the 5550... but would miss all the ports that come standard with the Latitude, and the latitude battery life, as well as GPU, is amazing.
