Quite nice quality for a first laptop. Runs steam and a few games particularly well. Some minor issues with keyboard / mousepad. Definitely would recommend for light use.

Quick Overview ================================= If you've kept up with Dell over the years, you may think (like I do) that they have WAY too many product lines and models to keep up with! Normally, we may be tempted to classify their Inspiron lineup of PCs with some "basic" computer users but not something premium, like their XPS line or an Apple MacBook Pro. Well, this is Dell's response - a high-quality all-metal, high-powered laptop that feels as premium as all but the best laptops out there. Let's see how it performs! Overall build ================================= The post-industrial recycled aluminum is as premium as they come and I love that the edges aren't sharp corners like you find on some MacBook Pros or Razer Blade laptops. Smooth edges all-around the laptop and a sturdy hinge make this feel like a premium 2-in-1. There's just enough "give" in the screen when you need to move it or flip it but it doesn't bounce at all while typing. On the left side, there are HDMI, USB-A, and two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports that can be used with the included 90w charger. On the right side, there's a USB-A, combo headset/headphone jack, and a full-sized SD card reader slot. The backlit keyboard has very light actuation and is quiet. It's a bit too soft for my tastes (preferring mechanical keyboards or Lenovo Thinkpad-style keyboards), but others in the household thought it was fine. Note, this has a dedicated Microsoft Co-pilot key to the right of the spacebar (past the "alt" key) for instant access to Microsoft's Co-pilot. Large speaker grilles on the left and right side of the keyboard deck house 2 speakers with Dolby Atmos Core/Waves MaxxAudio Pro certifications. The screen is a nice 16" 1920x1200 WVA display with 300 nits of brightness. It's decently color accurate (99.6% sRGB and 69.9% Adobe RGB), responsive to touch, and has very little to no backlight bleeding. Overall, I really like the build-quality and feel. Throughout my testing, it never got too hot to the touch, nor did the keyboard deck get overly warm. Initial setup ================================= If you've set up a Windows 11 PC recently, you know you've got 20-30 minutes of set up time to get online, download updates, and then decline a lot of Microsoft offerings. After all that is done, it's finally time to use the computer! I was very pleased with the input devices - the keyboard and large touchpad are responsive and the texture of scrolling on the trackpad is perfect. As mentioned, I didn't love the keyboard's softness (and I still don't), but I think it's something you can get used to if this was your main device. The touchscreen is nice and responsive. Interacting with content felt completely natural. I think a device this size is a bit too large to use as a tablet, but I could see this doing "kiosk" or "tent" duty as a media player. Loading up a few things to test including CPUID's HWmonitor, Adobe Creative Suite, and Davinci Resolve showed that this is more than capable as a content-creator's laptop. Performance ================================= The stats on this Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (7640) are impressive! An Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor (16 cores), 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB m.2 NVMe SSD, and Intel Arc graphics are high-end except for more of an integrated GPU vs. a truly dedicated one. Still, the performance on applications like benchmarks and real-world applications like Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop, and Davinci Resolve were impressive. I didn't miss much compared to my high-end gaming PC that I usually run these tasks on. I will say, this Dell Inspiron 16 is much quieter, even at full-load, than my gaming PC. It never got annoyingly loud nor hot. Hot/warm keyboard decks can be annoying since they can make your palms sweat which isn't a great feeling. I did sense some warmth, but nowhere near what I've seen on some other devices. The screen was accurate enough for me (not a professional photographer nor graphic designer, but I do have many creative pursuits) and comparing the built-in display to my external monitors had pretty similar results. I didn't personally test the SSD, but I felt like everything was very responsive (as they should be on something so highly spec'd). Checking online, this same SSD is highly rated and highly performant, so it's a great value that they included a 1 TB version in this model. If you're a gamer, you'll always want dedicated graphics. If this is a hybrid-device that is intended as a workhorse first with the ability to occasionally play some older games, then Intel's integrated Arc GPU may work! I wouldn't recommend playing Cyberpunk 2077 at Ultra settings, but older games like less-graphically intense FPS/shooters, RPGs, or strategy games work great. For example, Civilization VI can break 60 fps at medium settings. Since I have a backlog of games I'll never get under control, a device like this could help me knock out some of the older titles I've always meant to get around to. Connectivity-wise, I had no issues with Intel's Wi-Fi 6E AX211 NIC and my home 6E system. I wouldn't have minded if it had an RJ45 port on it, but I totally understand why they decided to leave it off. Physically there were plenty of ports and I never felt the need (like I do on some thin/light laptops) to get the dongles out to have enough ports. The speakers, though certified, are better than OK. I recently had the pleasure of testing out Asus' G14's speakers and they are super-impressive for laptop speakers. These Inspiron 16 speakers are good - certainly better than most laptops and much better than most tablets (my Samsung S8 Ultra or Asus Z13 Flow). Battery life is long enough to last a full day of working away from power outlets and when you do get access to one, you can charge up to 80% in just an hour. Overall, I'm very happy with the performance of the very new Intel CPU/GPU combination. It's fast, powerful, and quiet! Conclusion ================================= I was really impressed by this new Inspiron 16. I never would have considered buying an Inspiron before since I could choose from either Alienware, XPS, or even their business-focused Latitude line. This new Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 really improves my impression of their Inspiron line up which was, uninspiring to say the least. I can confidently say that this new model is a solid, high-quality, high-performing PC that can do WAY more than just browse the web and pay bills online. These specs, along with the Intel Arc GPU, really allow this PC to do some content-creation, media editing, and light gaming.

Awesome laptop!! I’ve had several Dell Inspirons and keep upgrading when technology changes. No regrets. Best Buy makes it easy and simple and cost effective to keep current with the best products.

I am so impressed with this purchase! My first time having a bottom freezer and I’m so glad I made that choice! Very spacious and aesthetically pleasing!

Super fast. Reliable. Great bright screen with awesome resolution.

Good quality I like it and the service was so good.

I wanted to love this laptop, when I went into the store this is the one the rep had recommended, however when I took it home and tried to set it up; after about 15minutes of the first time ever turning it on, the laptop got so hot! The screen, keyboard and everything, so I took it back and got an all in one HP

I am happy with this product but it is not as fast as my other Dell Laptop.

The Dell - Inspiron 16” 2-in-1 Touch Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 7 is a well-rounded, full featured daily laptop. Physical presentation – This Inspiron 2-in-1 is noticeably heavier than other ultra notebooks in my arsenal but being that this machine is 16 inch – I don’t consider it a show stopper. The color tone, rounded edges and layout are great. The screen is vastly uniform but not that bright, so I wouldn’t recommend this machine for anyone prone to using it outdoors or in work areas saturated with a lot of ambient light. Color, range of brightness control and again – uniformity - are all excellent. But this display is glossy and lacking any kind of “Pop”. Being a pen compatible touch screen is a nice bonus. The touch-pad is remarkably good, large and with an excellent surface that affords precise control. That part was unexpected. The port selection on this laptop is well balanced and left me wanting for anything more. The keyboard is sort of meh to my tastes but not horrible. It will take a little of time to get use to the tactical feedback of the keys, their size & placement. I have preference for Lenovo keyboards on laptops but this Inspiron isn’t far below that experience. The keyboard deck located power button with integrated finger print reader is convenient and makes using Windows Hello logins confident and quick. The charging brick and USB-C connector are great. Good for traveling and flexible if one wishes to use an external battery pack or alternate charging brick on trips. The built in camera does have a physical privacy slider and that is a feature I think many people will appreciate. One thing I noticed is that as you tilt the screen back, the hinges of this Inspiron will raise the base further off the table surface – providing better breath-ability – which is good – but – since there isn’t any type of protective treatment to that part of the hinge surfaces, I expect that the finish will wear in these spots with continue use. This feels like a bit of an oversight by the Dell engineers IMHO. Overall, I feel this 2024 16-inch Inspiron configuration hits all the most important design points and has a build quality you’d expect for the price-point. Setup – This newest 14th Gen Core Ultra was a breeze to get going. There were a couple of firmware updates straight out-of-the-box and the entire process of initializing Windows 11 and updating all drivers/utilities was pleasant & painless. The newly improved Dell Support utility does a great job of scanning the machine and keeping you informed of available updates. I only experienced that ‘typical of Dell’ handful of drivers that failed during the Windows Update process – namely a couple of Intel related drivers – but unlike my previous experience with their computers, these self-corrected quickly with no headaches. Performance – Please note that all these benchmarks were performed in Balanced Mode while plugged in, with Window 11 Home fully up-to-date at version 23H2. The included 1 TB SSD is obviously geared towards optimizing battery performance and is nothing to ‘write home about’ but the responsiveness of the system never presented any kind of sluggish or “held back” feeling in normal use. Write & read speeds were consistently sub-5GB/sec but certainly not horrible. I personally hold more importance of storage capacity over speed in a platform of this nature. This machine, not specifically spec’d as a Content Creator platform does perform remarkably well and I attribute that to competency of the newest, 14th Gen Ultra Core i7’s. The Ultra 7 155H in this Dell - Inspiron 16” 2-in-1 Touch Laptop should satisfy most users not expecting the performance levels of more professionally leaning, spec’d machines. For the average Joe (and Josephine), this machine will handle video & audio rendering just fine – which is another revealing fact of the Intel’s newest Ultra processors. This laptop scores Cinebench nearly as good as much more expensive machines, only a couple/three generations older. Summary – The Dell - Inspiron 16” 2-in-1 Touch Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 7 is solid offering from Dell. The build quality is what you’d expect from them, with all modern & essential features here and the performance being solid for an Ultra book style platform at this particular price-point – all with a spacious 16-inch, touch display. This is a very competent, everyday laptop that should satisfy most users. Pros Big, uniform touch display that is pen compatible. Excellent, spacious track pad that isn’t glass but feels just a good as some of the precision glass ones I’ve used. Physical camera privacy slider. Reliable & quick booting, waking and logging in with finger print reader integrated power button. Dell support utilities have been greatly improved this year and are useful without all the bugs! WiFi connections are solid & reliable with this Intel AX211 6e onboard device Good balance of ports and includes a full-sized SD card slot! Overall system performance is crisp & responsive. Cons A few extra levels of added screen brightness would have been preferred for better outdoor use Not a huge fan of the chic-let keys size & spacing but are still good to type on Goofy hinge design
