Reviews for the Dell 16 Premium

80% Dell 16 Premium review: gorgeous in more ways than one, but still a bit flawed
Source: Stuff TV English
Does an XPS by any other name still smell as sweet? For the most part, yes – though Dell hasn’t used its range-spanning rebrand as an opportunity to address the old model’s issues. The Dell 16 Premium looks as sharp as ever and has plenty of performance potential, but the touch-sensitive keyboard is still controversial and connectivity is merely OK for a 16in machine. Battery life is also disappointing if you go with the OLED screen option – which you’ll absolutely want to do, because it’s gorgeous. Alternatives have builds that aren’t quite as polished, but I’d still give them the nod over this for their longer lifespans – and the fact you can find many with dedicated graphics for the same price as the Dell. Not wedded to Windows? Then there’s no question the MacBook Pro remains my top pick overall.
