Dell releases new 16-inch laptop globally with 120 Hz VRR display and 64 GB RAM
Dell has returned to its Pro 5 Series 16 laptop with new versions. To recap, the company introduced Intel Panther Lake-based models at the start of May 2026. Replacing the Pro 16 PC16255 (curr. $1,199 on Amazon), the P516260 was complemented last week by Wildcat Lake-based SKUs in Europe.
Alternatively, Dell sells the Pro 5 Series 16 with AMD Ryzen AI 400 processors. Available globally, P516265 variants start with a Ryzen AI 5 Pro 435 but can be configured with up to the Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 470. For reference, the latter enjoys a 49% performance improvement over the former in our benchmarks, which extends to over 80% in GPU workloads.
Also, Dell sells the P516265 with up to 2 TB of storage and 64 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM. While user-replaceable, this RAM is neither as fast nor as energy efficient as the LPCAMM2 equivalent in the P516260. Setting that aside, Dell lists 45 Wh, 57 Wh and 70 Wh battery configurations, which can be supported by 65 W, 100 W or 65 W GaN chargers. Moreover, Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 modems are available, as are Snapdragon X12 4G cellular and MediaTek T700 5G cellular modems.
The P516265 can be configured with up to a 1600p, 500-nit and 120 Hz VRR display with an anti-glare coating too. All display options are IPS-based, though. Currently, the Pro 5 Series 16 (P516265) starts at $2,099 in the US for a substantial saving over Panther Lake-based models. Comparable pricing exists in other markets too, although one must call Dell to place an order in Australia.
