MagyarDell Inspiron 16 7635 2-in-1 laptop review: A watered-down Inspiron 16 7630 with AMD Ryzen
The Inspiron 16 7635 2-in-1 is the AMD version of the Intel-based Inspiron 16 7630 2-in-1. Like other Inspiron models, it targets the budget to midrange consumer category in contrast to the higher-end business-centric Latitude or prosumer XPS series. It directly succeeds last year's Inspiron 16 7620 2-in-1 with both new CPUs and a revised exterior design.
Our specific test unit is a lower-end configuration with the Zen 3 Ryzen 5 7530U CPU, 16 GB of soldered LPDDR4x 4266 MHz RAM, and 512 GB NVMe SSD for approximately $900 USD retail. A higher-end Ryzen 7 7730U option is available, but all AMD SKUs at the moment ship with the same 1200p IPS panel whereas the Intel version has a pricier 2400p OLED option.
Alternatives to the Inspiron 16 7635 2-in-1 include other large convertible laptops like the Lenovo Flex 5 16 or the more powerful MSI Summit E16 Flip or HP Spectre x360 16.

Case — Silently Dropping Mylar
Dell made a big deal about its use of Mylar on last year's Inspiron 16 7620 2-in-1 and so it's a bit perplexing to suddenly see it gone for this year's Inspiron 16 7630/7635 refresh. Instead, the chassis now consists of a combination of aluminum and recycled plastics for a more monotone color scheme and appearance. The hinges have also been redesigned to be flatter and there are now additional ventilation grilles along the rear to aid in cooling.
Chassis quality remains about the same year-over-year despite the exterior changes. The dense weight contributes to an unyielding base for strong first impressions that's only a step or two down from the much more expensive and equally heavy HP Spectre x360 16.
Perhaps by coincidence, dimensions and weight are almost identical to the competing IdeaPad Flex 5 16. The new model is unfortunately not smaller or lighter than on last year's Inspiron 16 7620 2-in-1 and so it remains a relatively heavy laptop even for the 16-inch size category.
Connectivity — No Thunderbolt Support
The model retains all the ports as found on last year's Inspiron 16 7620 2-in-1. The main difference, however, is that our AMD configuration lacks Thunderbolt support. Port variety is still comparable to other 16-inch laptops nonetheless like the IdeaPad Flex 5 16 or the Acer Swift Edge SFE16.
Keep in mind that the HDMI port is only 1.4 instead of 2.0. For proper support of external 4K monitors at 60 Hz, be sure to use the USB-C ports instead.
SD Card Reader
The integrated card reader performs slightly faster than before, but transfer rates are still about half as fast as on the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 16 or Galaxy Book3 Pro 16. Moving 1 GB of pictures from our PNY UHS-II test card to desktop takes about 32 seconds compared to 17 seconds on the aforementioned Lenovo.

Communication
The AMD Inspiron ships with the MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7922 whereas the Intel Inspiron ships with the AX211. Both modules are compatible with Wi-Fi 6E or 6 GHz routers. Performance is steady and with no issues when paired to our Asus AXE11000.
Webcam
A 1080p webcam and privacy shutter ship standard on all configurations for no surprises in terms of image quality. Only the Intel model, however, comes with an optional IR sensor.
Maintenance
The bottom panel is secured by nine Phillips screws. Note that the latches around the edges are very tight and so we recommend using a sharp plastic edge to carefully pry open the panel starting from the back.
RAM is now soldered on the 2023 model whereas it was user-upgradeable on the 2022 version as shown by the images below.
Accessories And Warranty
There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and paperwork. The usual one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies if purchased in the US.
Input Devices
Keyboard
The typing experience is fairly consistent across Inspiron laptops and so the QWERTY keys remain relatively soft and with shallow travel. Even the 14-inch Inspiron 14 uses the same keyboard as on our larger 16-inch Inspiron 16; the only difference is that the Inspiron 16 integrates additional up-firing speakers along the sides of the keyboard. The added speakers in lieu of a numpad ride home the fact that the Inspiron 16 7635 2-in-1 is primarily a multimedia PC.
Touchpad
The size of the clickpad (13.3 x 9 cm) is unchanged from last year's model even though the visual design of the clickpad has reverted back to a more traditional appearance. Unfortunately, feedback when clicking on the surface hasn't improved and so it remains soft and shallow when compared to the firmer clickpad on the HP Spectre clickpad.
Display — Full sRGB Colors
The model is the first in our database to ship with the Chi Mei 160JCA IPS panel whereas the panel on last year's model was the BOE NV16N45. Core attributes are otherwise nearly identical between the two panels including their ~1000:1 contrast ratios, full sRGB coverage, 60 Hz refresh rate, and average response times. The visual experience is therefore essentially the same between the 2022 and 2023 models unless if configured with the 2400p OLED option on the Intel-based Inspiron 16 7630 2-in-1.
While our Chi Mei panel is of higher quality than the LEN160WUXGA on the IdeaPad Flex 5 16 in terms of colors, it would have been nice to see Dell go the extra mile this year by including faster 90 Hz or 120 Hz refresh rate options for a smoother UI.

The display does not come pre-calibrated which is to be expected from a budget machine. Nonetheless, average grayscale and color deltaE values aren't bad out-of-the-box at just 3.9 and 3.1, respectively. A proper calibration would improve the averages even further to just 0.6 and 0.49 and so we recommend applying our calibrated ICM profile above to better exploit the full sRGB colors of the panel.

Outdoor visibility is average at best as the 300-nit touchscreen isn't bright enough to significantly reduce or overcome glare. Tablets like the iPad Pro 12.6 can be two times brighter or more. The Dell is first and foremost a multimedia convertible for indoor environments.
Be sure to disable AMD Vari-Bright via the AMD Adrenalin or else maximum brightness is reduced when running on battery power.
Performance — Not All Ryzen 7000 CPUs Are Zen 4
Testing Conditions
We set our unit to Performance mode via Windows prior to running the benchmarks below. Additional graphical settings are available on AMD Adrenalin which did not come preloaded onto our unit. We recommend installing the AMD auto-detect tool for Adrenalin and the latest graphics drivers.
Processor
The Ryzen 5 7530U performs almost identically to last year's Ryzen 5 6600H albeit at a lower power envelope for higher performance-per-watt. It's therefore a midrange CPU comparable to the competing Core i5-1235U or Core i7-1255U as found on many Ultrabooks like the HP Spectre x360 13.5. In typical AMD fashion, however, single-thread performance is slower by about 15 to 20 percent than the aforementioned Intel processors.
Upgrading to the 8-core Ryzen 7 7730U from our 6-core Ryzen 5 7530U is expected to boost multi-thread performance by about 15 to 35 percent based on our time with the IdeaPad Flex 5 16. The Core i7-1360P option on the Intel Inspiron would perform even faster.

System Performance
PCMark results are comparable to alternatives running on Core-U and even Core-P processors like the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 16 or last year's Dell Inspiron 16 7620 2-in-1. Interestingly, the Productivity subtest favors our Dell system by wider margins.

DPC Latency
LatencyMon reports only minor DPC issues when opening multiple tabs of our homepage. 4K video playback at 60 FPS is otherwise excellent with just one dropped frame recorded during our minute-long test video.

Storage Devices
Our test unit ships with a budget Kioxia KBG50ZNS512G PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD which offers maximum sequential read and write rates of up to 3500 MB/s and 2700 MB/s, respectively, according to the manufacturer. In our stress tests, however, we're only able to reach just over 2200 MB/s even after multiple retests to suggest that the drive may have problems maintaining maximum transfer rates for extended periods. Nonetheless, this is generally a nonissue for most multimedia scenarios and day-to-day browser workloads.
