Reviews for the Dell 16 Premium DA16250

I tested the Dell XPS' successor - here are the biggest upgrades (and what's the same)
Source: Zdnet.com
Prices for the Dell Premium 16 start at $1,800 for the base model on the company's official storefront. My review unit currently retails for $2,800 as part of a temporary promotion. If you want a graphic design laptop with extra oomph behind it, I recommend the Alienware 18 Area-51. Its Stealth Mode feature disables all RGB lighting, allowing the gaming laptop to fit right in an office setting. Be mindful of its battery life because it's not great either. Personally, I would go with Dell's laptop. Its performance is rock solid, and it is a more affordable option than the base Alienware 18, which costs $3,200.
