After testing the "large" Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 with a GeForce RTX 3050 and i7, we now take a look at the entry-level model. This time, the i7-11800H comes solo without dGPU. Will it be able to counter the complaint about the below-average development of the processor performance?

Though still rare, 16-inch convertible laptops are becoming more common nowadays. The Inspiron 16 7620 2-in-1 is one of the more affordable ones in its category and it even sports the latest 12th gen Intel CPUs and GeForce MX GPUs to be as fast or faster than most other convertibles.

The Dell Inspiron 7620 2-in-1 is a solidly built aluminium-shell laptop, able to withstand the sort of day-to-day battering it might receive in a student rucksack but sleek enough to look stylish in an office. While its weight puts it more in the laptop camp than the tablet camp, the screen is impressive in tent mode and the hinges feel like they’d withstand quite a bit of abuse. Although the lack of an included stylus to go with the responsive touchscreen feels like a major oversight, it’s a solid, dependable choice for graphics and writing work but doesn’t quite stand up to video editing or processor-heavy gaming.

There’s plenty to like about the new Inspiron 2-in-1. It’s great value, no matter which model you choose, and both the battery life and sound system are class-leading. The Full HD display won’t blow you away, but if you want a better display then the 4K OLED option won’t break the bank. The Dell is a fair bit heavier than the obvious competition from LG and Samsung, but it feels more solidly put together than either of those models. For potential business users, the absence of a numeric keypad may be an issue, but for most home users I suspect that using the space for the mighty speaker system is the right choice. It’s a shame Dell doesn’t bundle a stylus, though – 2-in-1s really shouldn’t ship without one.

The Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (7620) is a solid laptop. You get the performance, battery life, design, and display that you can expect from a laptop of its price point. However, the keyboard and audio could be better. The other alternative is going for HP Spectre x360 16 (2022). You get more storage, a beefed up GPU, and a gorgeous OLED display. But I would take a step back and look at the price first —- $2,129. Yeah, ouch. If all you want is a big laptop with a pretty display that you can touch for longer than a work day, the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (7620) is right for you.

As a mainstream laptop for home or work, the Inspiron 16 2-in-1 has a lot to offer, from its roomy touch display powered by a modern CPU to its sleek, all-metal enclosure and affordable price. We also liked the roomy keyboard sans numpad, huge touchpad, and impressive audio output. The star of the show, however, is its exceptional battery life that provides a runtime that’s hours longer than the competition. We strongly recommend the Inspiron 16 2-in-1 to mainstream buyers looking for a big-screen laptop. Our only hesitation would be for buyers who want a 2-in-1 convertible that will spend as much time in tablet mode as laptop mode. For such a usage scenario, we’d steer you toward a smaller 2-in-1 that’s easier to handle in tablet mode. And we’d also steer content creators looking for a large convertible to a model that offers a better graphics and storage upgrades.

Of our five test systems, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 came closest to the Inspiron 16 2-in-1 in features and performance, though it's more than $300 dearer. On the flip side, if battery life is a priority, its 18 hours is attractive. On graphics results, the Samsung generally showed better performance, though neither it nor the Inspiron is really designed for, or pitched as, a content-creation system. The gamer-first Lenovo Legion 5i Pro Gen 7 does make a credible showing as either a content-creation or a gaming system. Bear in mind that systems like the HP Spectre x360 16 are likely to see an upgrade to a 12th Generation Intel CPU, which might affect your preferences; the addition of Performance and Efficient cores to the Intel mobile line with 12th Generation Core really is a difference maker. Still, if you'd like to keep the spend under a grand and are looking for a big-screen convertible laptop more for on-desk sharing than in-hand tablet use, the 7620 Inspiron 16 2-in-1 will do the job, and get it done for general productivity, too.

The Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 is barely a year old, but the newer Inspiron 16 Plus 7620 brings enough changes both inside and out that performance hunters and even content creators may want to take notice.
Source: Expert Reviews
Most of the core strengths of the 7610 model are still present and correct. The 3K display remains a cracker, the sound system can wake the dead, and it’s great to have three GPU options. The 16 Plus is still good value, too, with both the optional Nvidia GPUs being notably cheap upgrades. On the other hand, the numeric keyboard has vanished, you can’t add a second SSD or upgrade both RAM cards, and the barrel power jack should surely have been replaced by a second Type-C port – especially since Dell doesn’t bundle a DC charger. Shorn of its chrome highlights, the new model looks a bit dowdy compared to the old model, too. As such, the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus is still good, but not quite as good.

The Dell Inspiron 16 Plus is a very likable mainstream laptop that reminds you that stability is a good thing – basically, it's Paul Rudd. Although it lacks a wow factor, its solid, consistent performance will cover the needs of most users. The Inspiron does enough of everything well and adds all-day battery life. It’s not the Hulk, but Ant-Man is a superhero and gets the job done. At the end of the day, the HP Inspiron 16 Plus ($1,599.99) compares favorably with its competitors in every way and allows you to not only create and edit content, but get a little gaming in. If you’re sold on getting a MacBook Pro, it’s an excellent laptop with the exception of gaming natively on it, but thanks to Nvidia’s recent GeForce Now upgrades, you can circumvent that problem. However, if you want the larger display or simply aren’t a macOS fan, the Dell Inspiron 16 is an excellent and relatively affordable performer.

The Dell Inspiron 16 Plus is an appealing laptop in most aspects. It's reasonably priced, relatively portable, and mostly well put together, with solid performance and battery life. The screen is its biggest shortcoming, though more disappointing than outright poor. Otherwise, it checks most boxes for general users and can handle moderate workloads for creative pros. Though competent across the board, the Inspiron isn't a standout. That's a soft negative, mainly centered on the display and a build that feels less premium than that of some competitors in the same price ballpark. But if you're concerned with functionality first, especially with a combination of a big screen and good battery life, this is a capable big-screen choice for general use.

The pros far outweigh the cons of this Dell Inspiron 16 laptop and the price is justifiable. Compared to the previous AMD-based Inspiron 15, this generation offers a larger screen, improved inputs and audio, and a bump in overall performance, while still remaining compact and lightweight for what it is, as well as ergonomic and efficient on battery. It's a pitty Dell don't offer a better display for this series, though.

The 2023 Inspiron 16 2-in-1 comes in two versions: Inspiron 16 7630 with Intel and Inspiron 16 7635 with AMD. The latter is cheaper, but it entails a longer list of cut corners that users should be aware of when compared to the Intel version.

The Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (7635) can make a decent family or student PC if you're after a big screen, convertible versatility, and lots of freedom to roam away from AC outlets. Its all-aluminum chassis also impresses in style and strength. The rest of the laptop is just average, however, its sorest points are lackluster screen brightness and a subpar keyboard. We also thought the speakers could have been better and can't understand why the HDMI port is limited to 1080p output. The Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 Gen 7 comes packing a brighter display and equal battery life, and it costs about the same, so it remains a top choice among midrange 16-inch convertibles.

Who needs GeForce MX anymore when you can have a GeForce RTX 4060 run at a low 60 W TGP? It may not perform as fast as dedicated gaming laptops with the exact same GPU, but it's still a significant upgrade from last year's GeForce RTX 3050 Ti.

Not everybody wants to spend a fortune on premium materials, ultra-thin form factors, or gaming behemoths full of RGB accents, featuring 200 Watt power bricks. Most users would probably do well with a mid-budget, jack-of-all-trades kind of laptop and that's exactly what the Inspiron 16 Plus is. It can play the latest games, run all the productivity software anybody needs in a laptop, and the battery life is pretty great. It's not the thinnest laptop out there, and it's not made from high quality aircraft aluminum, but it's also not $2,000 as a lot of those machines would be. Instead it's about $1300 today (sometimes on sale for less) and it's got plenty of legs for all but the most demanding of users. It does get kind of loud under load if you use the ultimate performance profile, but the temperatures never get out of hand, so that's a trade-off we can live with.

It does get kind of loud under load if you use the ultimate performance profile, but the temperatures never get out of hand, so that's a trade-off we can live with.

On paper, the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus almost seems too good to be true – does this big metal notebook really offer this much performance for a relatively affordable price? Where’s the catch? Well, at least during our time with this laptop, we can say that other than it getting really toasty and loud under load, there really isn’t a catch. If you’re looking for a powerful new laptop that can pull double duty playing games, then the Inspiron 16 Plus does a good job – as long as you don’t need cutting-edge performance. It can even give you all-day battery life for work scenarios, assuming you’re not a professional gamer, of course. Dell’s put together a machine that feels like it could cost a whole lot more, and that gives premium systems (even Dell’s own XPS 15 and the pricier Razer Blade devices) a run for their money.

The Dell Inspiron 16 Plus remains just out of OLED range. I reviewed the previous version earlier this year and bemoaned the fact that it didn't provide an OLED or any other display options to upgrade. It's otherwise a competent content-creation laptop, with a powerful CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics. And content creators are the very people who would benefit the most from the superior contrast and colors you get from an OLED display. As with previous versions, Dell offers a lone display option for the Inspiron 16 Plus 7630. Despite featuring fewer pixels than the previous model's panel, the new display is an improvement. While it dropped a notch in resolution from 3K to 2.5K, the refresh rate has doubled to 120Hz. That's an important number for anyone thinking about putting its discrete graphics muscle toward gaming. Video creators will also appreciate the smoother motion of the 120Hz panel.

On paper, the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus almost seems too good to be true–does this big metal notebook really offer this much performance for only around $1,600 (depending on Dell’s highly variable sale pricing)? Where’s the catch? Well, at least during our time with this laptop, we can say that other than it getting really toasty and loud under load there really isn’t a catch. If you’re looking for a powerful new laptop that can pull double duty playing games, then the Inspiron 16 Plus does a good job as long as you don’t need bleeding-edge performance. It even can give you all-day battery life for work scenarios, assuming you’re not a professional gamer, of course. Dell’s put together a machine that feels like it could cost a whole lot more, and that gives premium systems (even Dell’s own XPS 15 and the pricier Razer Blades) a run for their money.

The Inspiron 16 Plus falls just short of being a laptop that I can comfortably recommend. It provides good performance for all but the most demanding creators, but it doesn’t offer a display option that meets their needs. It’s priced like a premium laptop, but it’s not built like one. You expect a metal chassis and lid to be more rigid in a laptop costing $1,500 or more. And the battery life was erratic. If you’re a productivity user who wants a really fast laptop, then it’s an option. But so are many other 16-inch machines. The HP Envy 16 is close in price with a similar configuration, but it feels like a more premium laptop. In the end, I’d say to pass on this one unless its price comes down considerably.

For the most part, the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus (starts at $1,199.99; $1,649.99 as tested) is a mainstream desktop replacement laptop, but it seems to have been hanging out with Dell's gaming rigs: It has an 8GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU instead of humble integrated graphics, and its 16:10-aspect-ratio display has a 120Hz refresh rate instead of a vanilla 60Hz. If you'd like a 16-inch laptop with a little more visual oomph than average, whether for after-hours gameplay or demanding design or rendering apps, the Inspiron 16 Plus is a relatively affordable productivity platform that's almost a gamer and almost a mobile workstation. It doesn't quite rise to Editors' Choice recognition, but it's a viable alternative to more costly content-creation laptops like the Gigabyte Aero 16 OLED.

The Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7630 is a really good jack-of-all-trades laptop but also it's a master of none. It's good at various scenarios, however, there are certainly better specialty laptops out there. Should you want something made specifically for content creation or video editing, a MacBook Pro or 2-in-1 laptop with a stylus pen for drawing would serve you better. If you don't want a specialty laptop and prefer something that can handle work, school, and entertainment with aplomb, get the Inspiron 16 Plus 7630. I highly recommend it. Plus it's fairly cheap. There isn't much hardware customization as mentioned earlier. You can choose to get the 32GB RAM model which costs $1,800. Or you can shave the price down to as low as $1,200 by opting for Intel UHD Graphics. No matter how you configure the system, 1TB of storage comes included. And, if your budget allows, go with the 32GB of RAM models. You'll definitely appreciate the extra performance.
