Dell - Premium 16.3" 4K OLED Touchscreen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 7 255H - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 - 1TB Storage - Platinum

This Dell laptop is powerful, fast, and extremely reliable for my coding tasks. It handles multitasking smoothly, compiles code quickly, and stays responsive even with multiple applications running. The performance has been rock solid. The 4K display is sharp and vibrant, making text crisp and easy on the eyes during long coding sessions. The build quality feels premium, the keyboard is comfortable, and overall it’s a great machine for productivity. Highly recommended for developers that does HEAVY coding and anyone needing a fast, dependable laptop.

Neurodivergent sensory heaven. I've read quite a few reviews on various sites/platforms touting that the keyboard is difficult to adapt to, but I found quite the opposite. The end-user UI is fantastic, the design aesthetic is flawless. First Windows laptop I've been excited about in a long time. The Dell Premium 16 is on-par with my 2022 16 in MacBook Pro both under the hood and design/quality-wise. Came with minimal bloatware to remove. Looking very forward to more protective accessories (cases/screen protector) becoming available because I plan on having this for a long time.

The Dell Premium 16 laptop is very versatile and can be good for work or gaming. It comes with a great looking OLED UHD 3820x2400 16” touch screen at 120Hz. It comes with 32GB of RAM, and 1 TB M.2 for storage. The Intel Ultra 7-255H and Nvidia 5050 discrete GPU make it powerful enough for whatever you want to do. You can do work and mid-level graphics when gaming. It is USB-C only with 3 ports (3x Thunderbolt Display Port), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and Micro SD reader. The screen is a good size since it’s UHD overall, the laptop is not too heavy at around 5 pounds. At the top of the bezel is a 1080p camera. You have Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth for connectivity. It looks like any standard Dell laptop with a platinum-ish color, and plastic bottom. I went to open the underside, and two of the screws stripped and I couldn’t get them out. With 32GB RAM and 1 TB of storage you have enough for most computing you want to do. The Keyboard is towards the top of the base with a large area left for the mousepad. There is no marking of the mousepad, but it is from the bottom of the case to the bottom of the keys and left to right from the Windows key to the Co-Pilot key. The BIOS is standard and easy to get around and make changes as needed. Boot up times are quick, and the laptop is quiet by default. The keys are backlit and large. There is no Numpad. The F series and command keys are built into the shell and are not keys across the top, but touch. You can change what is display with the Function key. The power button in the upper right also acts as a fingerprint reader. The only bloatware was McAffee, easily removed, and the other programs included were Dell support and upgrade programs. Whether using an USB-C Ethernet adapter or Wi-Fi 7, connections were seamless and full speed. The included 130w USB-C charger charges the battery quickly. For work you can get 2.5-3 hours, and gaming can cut that in half easily. You can optimize for more time depending on your settings. The laptop is quiet in regular or eco modes. Even in performance it’s not a whirlwind. In heavy gaming the keyboard gets hot as the air comes out, but not so much you can’t keep playing. Upgrading to Windows Pro and installing programs was easy. For gaming performance, it will do okay. You won’t get all the graphic features, but enough for it to play well and look decent. Scores from 3D Mark: Steel Nomad – 1819, Speedway -1989, and Steel Nomad Light – 7848. For a smaller package, it does decent in its category. Good for on the go gaming without being too heavy or large. For work, the processor is powerful enough for video calls, Office, and with being able to add multiple screens, have them all running simultaneously. The camera is 1080p and works well. Using an adapter for USB-C to DisplayPort had no issues. Make sure you fully update using the Windows and Dell upgrade programs. Overall, this laptop fills an area of balance for work and play nicely. Enough to do either on the go. At 5 pounds it’s not the lightest, but it provides more power and options than a really thin laptop. Just take your charger with you, and you’re set for computing on the road.

From the minute you start unboxing this laptop you can feel how high end it is, and the presentation is next level. The all white/silver keyboard area gives it a high level of sophistication. While it is somewhat heavy, it feels and appears built to last, which would be expected at this price point. As I opened the box, I noticed there was very little contents; only the laptop, charger, and one small pamphlet that simply shows a diagram of how to connect the charger. There is a QR code that you can scan for further information and instructions, however. Additionally, there is a thin paper layer attached to the keyboard that labels where the power button is, the ends of the mouse area, and a few other important bits of information, however, once that paper is gone, the power button has no label, it is just a plain while box on the keyboard that look like a blank key. The touchpad area is quite large, approximately a 4x4 inch square space, however there are not any edges or lines that show where it starts and ends once the paper is removed. While It has sleek and clean edges as well as a keyboard that sits flush with the laptop edges,the keys also do not have noticeable edges. This can make it very easy to click multiple keys or letters at once by mistake. In general though, these are minor things connected to personal preference. The aesthetic in general is again very classy and sophisticated making it worth the purchase. The speakers are beside the keyboard which provides optimal listening experiences, especially compared to laptops where the speaker is underneath and often covered. The volume has quite a range from soft to powerful, and you can tell that there are high quality audio components within the laptop. However, because the speakers are on the left and right of the keyboard, it eliminates that secondary number box typically found on the right hand side of a keyboard of a 16 inch laptop. This is not make or break unless you consistently use this feature of a keyboard for your day to day routines. The speed of the computer is absolutely incredible. The internet and wifi package at my house is standard and nothing out of the ordinary, but the abilities of this laptop make it extremely fast and efficient. A feature that I have quickly grown to appreciate is the ability to connect to my Samsung phone and provide the messages and notifications on the screen. It provides the experiences of having the apple/mac products without being basic with every other feature. Another nice feature is the lighted ‘bar’ of options above the keyboard that contains the esc, volume, brightness, play/pause, duplicate screen, home, end, insert and delete. When not in use, the lights under the ‘buttons’ turn off leaving just the keyboard visible. Battery life has also been very impressive. Without any energy or battery saving modes on, it is very easy to use this on and off for days without needing to grab the charger. While various factors impact battery life for different people, this is easily the best battery life I have experienced within a laptop. This is especially important to note due to the size and power that this laptop is able to provide. If you are an individual who needs to use zoom, google meets, or other video meeting platforms, you will appreciate the clarity and lighting abilities of this camera. Even in a very dim room with the brightness turned down, this still provides a view that makes you appear very well lit and clear. All in all, I would highly recommend this laptop to anyone whether your needs are very basic or whether you need a very high tech laptop with extensive features.

Dell's new laptop not only looks beautiful being super minimalistic, under the hood hides excellent productivity and gaming performance. I use Dell laptops for my WFH set up and this one replaced my previous daily driver. In the box is the laptop itself and a 130W power brick. You get Windows 11 Home installed on a 1TB NVMe drive. While doing setup for the 1st time, I do want to applaud Dell for not using a ton of bloatware to start. The only thing I made sure to delete was McAfee as it is the most pointless app to have installed. Get that extra free space and thank me later. For ports, you get 1 universal audio jack, Micro SDXC card reader and just THREE (3), yes 3 Thunderbolt 4 Type C ports. No USB A, no ethernet, no HDMI....nada. This is 0 issue for me as I use docking stations to connect my monitors and KB, mouse and ethernet to. Under the hood is an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and an RTX 5050 laptop GPU all paired with an absolute gorgeous 16.3 3840x2400 OLED. It should go without saying that performance for productivity is no issue at all and content consumption is a treat. Perfect blacks and excellent colors make all streaming look soooo good. When I am not working, gaming performance was great too. Not excellent, but great. You can see with cranked up all max settings running at 3840x2400 only gives around 40 FPS is is pretty respectable for using a RTX 5050 laptop GPU. When I toned down the settings to 1440P and 1080P, performance went to a better experience at 100+FPS depending on title. Now AAA titles will be lower unless you are playing at medium or low settings but this Dell can handle it. Noise and heat is good. When I was running benchmarks or demanding titles the fans do crank up to max but they are not unbearable like some gaming laptops. They make noise but are not so loud to annoy you, especially if you are wearing headphones. Keyboard is great and feel good when placing both hands on the palm rests. Does not interfere with the hidden trackpad. Speakers are surprising great being upward firing from the sides on the KB itself. No, you won't get deep bass obviously, but everything else also doesn't get distorted. Passes the Crab Rave test for me personally. If you need a work laptop or something to do hybrid tasks, don't pass up this Dell. I love it and it has become my new daily WFH driver.
