Dell Pro 16 (PC16250) Review – The Business Laptop You MIGHT Regret Buying
Source: Laptop Media
The Dell Pro 16 (PC16250) is the quintessential business workhorse, a machine designed with pure function and practicality at its core. It forgoes flashy design and premium materials in favor of a robust feature set geared towards productivity and, most importantly, user serviceability. It’s a laptop built for the IT department or the practical professional who values upgradeability and a full keyboard over aesthetic flair. While it offers a fantastic suite of business-centric features, these strengths are paired with some notable compromises, especially on the base model, which potential buyers need to be acutely aware of.

80% The Dell Pro Max 16 Plus is a superb mobile workstation with one major flaw
Source: It Pro
By this point in the review, you've already decided if you're going to buy this laptop. Most of the negative points are inherent to the 16-inch workstation form factor – size, weight, battery life – and the only real standout issue for many users that remains is the keyboard. If you're the type of user who needs a numeric keypad, then you'll be more forgiving. If you're not, it may be a deal breaker. It's a shame because there are so many good points to appreciate here. The broad customisability makes for a mobile workstation that can be tailored to suit a wide range of applications, workloads, and IT budgets. It stops frustratingly short of brilliance, but if it ticks the right boxes for your business, the Dell Pro Max 16 Plus may be the semi-portable powerhouse you were looking for.

90% Dell Pro Max 16 Plus Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Dell Pro Max 16 Plus is a very powerful workstation laptop with some immense performance, plus a gorgeous 4K OLED screen and one of the best port selections you’ll find on a laptop at any price. Granted, its battery life isn’t brilliant, and it’s hideously expensive, but if you need the power this laptop can provide, it’s incredible. These business-class workstation laptops are designed for much different applications than more generalist gaming laptops, such as the Medion Erazer Beast 16 X1 Ultimate (RTX 5090) and Alienware 18-Area 51, so it seems a little odd to compare them. Nonetheless, the presence of a Core Ultra 9 285HX and Nvidia Pro RTX 5000 Blackwell makes for some of the most potent performance you’ll find on any laptop, and its 4K OLED screen is fantastic, although not as strong in raw brightness as the tandem OLED panel on the Asus ProArt P16 (4K Lumina Pro OLED).

Dell: Dell is a U.S. manufacturer (based in Texas) of computer hardware founded in 1984 and is one of the largest international manufacturers in terms of both market share and notebook models. Its product line includes desktops, notebooks, storage systems, monitors, servers, printers, consumer electronics and peripherals. Dell offers laptops that are suitable for various applications, such as business laptops, gaming laptops, ultra portables and workstations. Dell's business laptops from the Latitude and Precision series are an option for professional users and businesses.

In 2023, Dell had an approximate 17% market share of global PC sales, ranking #3 after Lenovo and HP.

For gaming enthusiasts, Dell's Alienware brand is for gaming notebooks.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.

Intel Graphics 4-Core iGPU (Arrow Lake): Integrated graphics card based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides 4 Xe cores (64 Xe vector engines) and 4 ray tracing units.

These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Generation Laptop: High-end GPU that belongs to Nvidia's professional series. It's based on the Blackwell architecture and features 10,496 CUDA processing cores as well as 24 GB of GDDR7 ECC memory.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Lunar Lake:

Core Ultra 7 268V: A higher-end Lunar Lake family processor. It sports 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.7 GHz and 5.0 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 140V iGPU and 32 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. It should be about as fast as the Core Ultra 7 165U and Core i7-1360P in multi-threaded workloads and it eats up to 37 W when under short-term workloads.

Intel Arrow Lake:

Ultra 7 265U: High-end mobile processor based on the Meteor Lake architecture (Arrow Lake-U series). Offers 2 performance cores with up to 5.3 GHz (incl. SMT) and 8+2 efficiency cores with up to 4.2 GHz and can therefore process 14 threads simultaneously. The compute tile is manufactured in the modern Intel 3 process (5nm).

Ultra 9 285HX: Mobile high-end CPU for gaming notebooks based on the Arrow Lake architecture. Offers 24 cores consisting of 8 fast performance cores with up to 5.5 GHz and 16 smaller efficiency cores with up to 4.6 GHz clock speed. The CPU can access 40 MB L2 cache and 36 MB L3 cache and is specified with a TDP of 55 watts. The SoC integrates a small dedicated NPU called AI Boost with 13 TOPS (Int8) and optionally supports vPro Enterprise.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

1.84 kg:

2.845 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

84.06%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
