Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a heavy very solid laptop. It is very fast and has a beautiful screen. Normally I would say the weight was a negative but I like to lay in bed and type and am appreciating the fact it does not move or shift. Very stable. It feels very quick, quicker than a similarly configured ASUS machine actually. The keys have a rubbery feel as opposed to plastic. I find it very pleasant to type on. A keypad in this size would have been nice but I like the big speakers as a trade-off. The sound is very good and loud. If you're looking for a solid desktop replacement, this is it.

After all these years, Dell is still putting out amazing computers and setting the bar for what laptops should be! I cant even count how many Dell laptops I have owned over the years, and they have always been very solid, quality, well-built machines. This laptop is no different. Out of the box you will see this is a quality machine. It has a good weight to it (some may think it’s a little on the heavier side) but I think its on par considering it’s a 16” laptop. I believe the spec sheet says its 4.8 pounds. In the box you just get the basics, the laptop, power cable, and some minor documentation and that’s it. When you start up the laptop you’ll see the advantage of the fast processor and 1TB SSD. This thing boots up in a matter of seconds. You’ll have to go through the usual Windows setup before you can use the laptop. Once you're finished with that, you’ll see that Dell doesn’t include too much bloatware. That’s one thing I always loved about Dell. They usually keep it pretty simple and only include the essentials and a few trials of things like Office and Antivirus programs. The display is very nice looking, sad that its only 1920 X 1200 FHD+, I would have liked to see a slightly higher resolution for the price point, but for most people, it will be fine. The keyboard Dell uses in their laptops always has a good feel to them and I find it very easy to type quickly on them. As always, it is also backlit so its great for working at night or in dimly-lit spaces. The ins and outs should be enough for most people. On one side there are 2 USB-C ports (that are also used for charging), one regular USB port and a full-size HDMI port. On the other side is a SD card reader, headphone jack, and a second regular USB port. Getting into the performance, this has an Intel Core 7 Series 1 processor with 16GB of Ram, a 1TB SSD drive and Intel Arc graphics. I use mine mainly for browsing the web, checking emails, watching streaming movies as well as for more work-oriented stuff like Photoshop, Illustrator, and video editing with Premiere. One of my main hobbies is flying my drone. I love that there is a SD card slot so I can easily transfer my videos to the large hard drive and that there is plenty of power for me to easily be able to edit my footage and get it uploaded to YouTube. I also regularly use Photoshop to edit photos as well and this machine can easily handle editing of very large files without any hiccups. For fun I also installed some games on this to se how the gaming performance would be. It’s acceptable, but this is far from a gaming machine. But for keeping yourself occupied on the road, it will definitely be able to do that! I also love that this is a 2 in 1 machine so it can be completely folded in half and used as a tablet. I have always loved having this feature on a laptop because its just 1 less gadget you have to haul around with you. I found the battery life to be great on this laptop. As always, it depends heavily on what you are using it for and the CPU load and your settings, but I found this to be as good or even slightly better than most laptops in this spec range. I think this would be great as a daily laptop. It can easily handle most office tasks and is great for kicking back at home and watching videos or doing other fun productivity work. As I always say, you can’t go wrong with a Dell. They are solid machines built with quality parts that perform great! Definitely check this out if you are in the market for a new laptop.

This laptop has already failed in less than a month.

I’ve had other Dell laptops at home over the years, and my company provides a Dell for work. Every one of them has been a great workhorse. So far, this 16” Inspiron is my favorite. It’s a little bigger and heavier than some, but it’s still quite portable and fits easily in my backpack. The large, beautiful screen is completely worth the extra size and weight in my opinion. I also have a portable monitor that I carry with me that’s just slightly smaller than the laptop. But with that addition, I have a fully functional home office setup with plenty of screen real-estate wherever I go. The battery life has been great so far, although most of the time I use it while plugged in. The built-in speakers sound really good and are plenty loud when you need to turn up the volume. The keyboard isn’t anything special, but I found it to be easy to use. The track pad space is pretty large, so I did find myself accidentally touching it sometimes while typing. Most of the time I have a Bluetooth mouse connected, though, so I just updated the Windows settings to disable the touchpad when a mouse is connected. It comes with all the ports I’ve needed so far. There are two USB-C Thunderbolt ports on the left side. That lets me plug in power, and also connect my external monitor with both power and the video output in the same USB-C cable. It has a USB-A port and a regular HDMI port on the left side. Then on the right side, there’s another USB-A port, headphone jack, and an SD card reader slot. I have only one nitpicky complaint about the laptop, and that’s how the screen/lid is hinged. When it’s sitting flat and you open the screen up to a good viewing angle, it lifts the back of the laptop off the surface slightly. It doesn’t really cause any problem, but it just felt weird until I got used to it. Actually, maybe it’s even a good thing for improving air flow underneath for cooling. At the end of the day, though, I love everything else about this laptop and highly recommend it.

The Inspiron 16” 2-in-1 Touch Laptop with the Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor with 16GB and 1TB SSD is the latest release from Dell. **Disclaimer: This is my third 3rd Dell laptop since 2019, so they have grown on me. After transferring and loading my programs and getting the settings to my own personal preference, here's what I think: Very impressed with the speed of this laptop. Once you start the laptop, you're on the main page in about 20 seconds and all programs are fully loaded. The key placement on the keyboard are in the best spot. Normally, I have to adjust my typing on a new keyboard, but no typos while typing on this laptop so far. The 16" touchscreen is the perfect size for being a home or business laptop. There are two thunderbolt USB-C ports, two USB-A ports (one on each side), one HDMI port, one SD card port and 3.5 headphone jack. The laptop also comes with Windows 11 and McAfee anti-virus preloaded. Once connected to the Wi-fi, the laptop loads pages very quickly. No issues with connection so far. What impresses the most so far is the battery life. I intentionally left it unplugged overnight and the battery held a good charge and was nowhere near being depleted. This laptop isn't meant for hard core gamers, but it's perfect for browsing, watching videos, typing papers and playing music. This laptop is highly recommended.

At home, or in the office, most people will never push the Dell - Inspiron 16 7640 hard enough to demonstrate the full power it has available. With a respectable (but not “Gaming Fast) 16” FHD touch display with Webcam, it’s certainly capable of running Engineering or Architectural Design Programs like SolidWorks or Revit. This computer will give you years of use. If the Feature details below are too technical, you can just be sure they are VERY impressive especially for a Laptop. Features: - Core Ultra 7 155H CPU - 16” Touch Display with Intel ARC Graphics, Built-in microphone, and Web-cam - Flexible Hinge allows the screen and keypad to be bent backwards so the 7640 can be used like a flat tablet, or the screen can be propped up securely on a surface like an airplane tray. - 16 Gb of Dual Channel, DDR5 6400MHz RAM (soldered in place, therefore not expandable) - 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe Solid State Drive (very compact, very fast, relatively cool running), (can be replaced by up to a 2 TB drive) - Wireless AX+ Bluetooth - 1 SD Card Reader Slot - 2 USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A Ports - 1 Thunderbolt 4 Port (with DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery) - 1 HDMI 1.4 Port - Charges through a standard USB 3 port rather than a proprietary dedicated port. - Backlit Keyboard. PROS: - The NVMe hard drive gives fast bootup and transition speeds between programs. Its 1 TB size can be doubled with a screw-driver by most DIY users. - The Backwards-Bending hinge makes the Dell 7640 good for small sales presentations or training sessions. - The touchscreen makes it a good tablet-device too. - Considering its power, it’s thin and light. CONS: - RAM is not upgradable. - Because I travel on business a lot, I turn the laptop on when I have even a short time to do some work between flights. For some reason Dell chose on this 7640 not to include a camera good enough to enable Windows-Hello facial recognition. This means that instead of coming to life as soon as you open the laptop and show it your face, you have to go through the tedious manual password typing startup or fumbling for the fingerprint reader. - To save battery on my other laptops, I like the option of being able to hit the function keys to turn the screen fully dark when I have to take a short break. For some reason, the Dell designers decided to only let you adjust the screen dimmer, but never fully off. Conclusion: Again, this laptop is not designed for AAA gaming performance, but if you just type emails and cruise the internet, or work with graphic applications like SolidWorks Engineering, Revit or Photoshop that don’t require blazing response times, then this one deserves your serious consideration.

I've been using this 2 in 1 laptop for the past week and it is a great everyday computer. It's got a nice, sleek look with the metal chassis that shows as silver in most light, but you get a glance of ice blue at different angles. It's pretty cool and makes the computer feel more premium. The speaker grills border the sides of the keyboard and produce decent sound considering the size and limitations. Screen size is exactly what I wanted to replace a 6+yr old 17" 2 in 1. Anytime you get above 15" screens, weight starts to become more of a factor. For a 16" laptop, this Dell is relatively light weight, which is impressive considering the metal body. The screen is crisp and works well in any light. In my use the computer never got excessively hot or loud from fans running. It has 2 USB C; 2 USB A; 1 HDMI; 1 SD card slot and a headphone jack. The charging cable is USB C, so be aware that one of the 2 ports will be needed for power during longer sessions. Overall, the only thing I wish this laptop had is a full number keypad. If the speakers were placed elsewhere, I think there's enough room for it. Otherwise, this is a really nice option for work, school or casual users who just want to do basic email, watch videos, run MS Office, or surf the web.

Middle of the road laptops are a dime a dozen in this world and this is where this Dell falls. PROS This is a touch screen that has a folding display which allows it to convert into something like a very big tablet or you can set to have just the foldable screen showing without the keyboard showing. Backlit keyboard. Nice display. CONS Touchpad is way to sensitive and was constantly doing things that I never wanted. Typically on laptops these days with such flaky touchpads, I just get a mouse to prevent accidental inputs. 16 gigs of ram. OVERALL Geekbench 6 GPU score: OpenGL 34912 Geekbench 6 CPU score: Single Core: 2263 Multi Core: 12109 The computer is average or adequate in its actions for an everyday user. Body of the laptop construction quality is above average looking and feeling. Screen is bright and nice size for people with older eyes. It has an i7 Ultra processor with up to 22 logical processors. Based on my experience with laptops, this thing didn't feel any more powerful than an i5 or Ryzen 5 laptop. Perhaps this is hamstrung with the minimal 16 gigs for ram. I was not impressed with performance. It was just there and did as it could, but not remarkable in any way. One thing that was interesting is that the computer was evidently made 4/09/2024 and that is when the warranty started even though it did get powered on by me for initial boot until 4/24/2024. Has HDMI out with 2 usb-c / thunderbolt 4 ports (one is the charging port) along with two usb 3 ports. I downgraded this laptop because it appears to not be ram upgradeable - what you buy is what you get.

It's very useful and quick, and my daughter is happy because it helps her with all her schoolwork. Very useful and necessary.
