For $400 more than the base model, the Core Ultra X7 XPS 16 configuration offers more RAM, more storage, and significantly more performance without needing to up fan noise, power consumption, or temperatures.

The Dell XPS 16 has a few things going for it. Its display and audio are excellent, and when paired with its design, it’s really a pleasure of a laptop to behold. But that’s where the fun ends. Even though the XPS 16 is powerful, it’s not impressively so and often fails to outpace contemporaries and even prior models. Its opting for integrated graphics helps save some weight and boost efficiency, but comes with a clear hit to graphics performance over discrete options. All this makes for a performance profile better suited to more standard office and productivity use cases, but the hardware itself just doesn’t feel so great to use and lacks helpful utility items like a number pad, USB-A, and HDMI ports. Ultimately, the XPS 16 sticks to its heritage as part quality laptop and part status symbol.

“Bigger is better” might be a cliched saying, but it’s appropriate when discussing the new Dell XPS 16. You get the same vivid display, fast performance, and enduring battery life as the 14-inch model, only in a larger form factor. And like that laptop, this XPS is a triumphant return to form for the legendary brand. If you absolutely need an SD card slot reader or would prefer staying in the Apple ecosystem, the 16-inch M5 MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro is a solid alternative. However, if those things aren’t important, the Dell XPS 16 is hard to top. Right now, this is arguably the Windows laptop to beat.

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.
