1. Question: We are currently in the process of configuring the specifications for the Latitude 5550 laptops. During this process, we have noticed a slight discrepancy between the originally requested hardware and the currently available options. Specifically, regarding the memory, the request was for 32 GB: 1x32 GB, DDR5, 5600 MT/s (5200 MT/s with 13th Gen Intel Core processors). The hardware that is readily available is 32 GB: 1 x 32 GB, DDR5, 5600 MT/s (5200 MT/s with 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors). Could you please confirm if this slight difference in the description of the available memory is acceptable for your needs?
Answer: We (FEMA) are moving away from the Dell 5550’s the new model that is being sought out is the Dell Pro 16 (PB16250) the specs are in the attached document. This is a recent change and was made by HQ after we started our life cycle process.
