Reviewing a laptop of this type is a bit out of my comfort zone. Geared for the productivity side of things, there isn’t much I can do with regards to how well the laptop performs. Still, if you seek a laptop that is more utility than gaming, perhaps this is the one. Having a two-in-one laptop is useful for a variety of usage cases. You can use it as a traditional laptop. Flip the keyboard around and it becomes a tablet. Or use the keyboard side to prop up the display for displaying media.
The display on this model is about as basic as it can get. With a resolution of 1920x1200, it’s slightly taller than typical 1080p resolution but isn’t as dense as 1440p or 4k displays. And there’s no high refresh rate either so you’re stuck with standard 60hz. (Even a modest 90hz refresh rate would make the usage experience just a bit better.) At the top of the display is a webcam but unfortunately there is no facial recognition. Having been spoiled by that, I’m saddened that this is omitted. Instead, biometric authentication is done by a fingerprint reader that doubles as a power button.
The build quality of the laptop is decent. There is enough rigidity to accommodate the different ways the laptop can be used. The keyboard has a shallow feel to it and feels typical of any laptop keyboards out there. There is a numpad but I’m conflicted if this is a good thing or a bad thing. On one side, it means there is a numpad for inputting numbers quickly. Yet at the same time, the keys themselves feel cramped.
The hardware is beefy enough to handle the various tasks you throw at it. If you do not have a high demand, the laptop is perfect for whatever app you wish to run. And it will have enough processing power to last for a long time. I didn’t get the chance to test the battery to see how long it lasts on a single charge. But at least charging it will not be an issue due to the port being USB-C.
Charging the laptop can be done in one of two ways: using the included charging brick or your own. However, if you plan on using your own charger, make sure it is capable of USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) with power output between 30-60 watts. It is good that USB-C is being used for charging, as it means one can potentially use one charging block to charge a variety of devices.
As expected, Windows11 Home is used on the laptop. As a power user, I set up new Windows computers differently. Those who follow the steps normally for Windows will have a slightly different experience. In my case, I set up Windows offline using a local account, bypassing the normal requirement of a Microsoft Account. There are guides for that and the steps may change in the future. But setting up Windows normally should pose no problem for any new users.
Once the laptop is set up, I look through what is on the laptop. And I find that McAfee, a security software suite that I have no confidence or trust in, is pre-installed. Immediately, I uninstalled it. Using this without the keyboard takes getting used to. The onscreen keyboard is a bit jarring unless you’re used to it. Touch interface is not easy to adjust to because you’re thrown straight into it once the keyboard is disabled. Microsoft should at least provide some sort of fullscreen quick start guide to give new users some basic instructions. As for performance, I did a quick edit in DaVinci Resolve. It handled the quick edit without a problem but that’s only on a small clip and on limited time. I decided not to run any games to check its 3D performance since the laptop is not geared for such tasks.
To check how it handles being serviced and what upgrade option is available, I made an attempt to open the panel. There are two captive screws which are located near the hinges. However, prying the panel off took a lot of careful effort. In addition, there is something in the center that keeps the panel in place. After a bit of wiggling, I managed to dislodge the clip from the tab and fully remove the cover. Inside, there is no room for a SODIMM to be slotted in. There is a M.2 that can be replaced and pre-installed is a 2230 sized M.2 drive. While I did not make an attempt to remove the M.2, it appears that the original M.2 has some sort of extending mount to extend its physical size to the common 2280 size. Having no way to expand and upgrade the RAM limits to how long the device can be used for. Newer and up-to-date apps and software always trend towards using more RAM. And having a fixed amount of RAM will limit how many tasks, apps, and/or programs can run at the same time.
Overall, I like the practicality of the laptop. As a productivity-oriented laptop, it’ll run anything that isn’t dependent on 3D hardware. And the option to prop the laptop display for other tasks is a nice option. It’s a great laptop to get for the family that doesn’t need heavy 3D processing power to get something done.
Verdict: Recommended for family
The Good: thin, light, 2-in-1 design
The Bad: panel cover is hard to remove, no SODIMM to upgrade RAM, 60Hz display, no facial recognition
The Ugly: the fear of breaking the panel off to access the hardware

This notebook is super functionable. It's got power. Intel Core Ultra 7 & Intel ARC graphics card.
CPU benchmarks were very respectable even though it's a laptop. Photoshop ran extremely well.
3D graphics somewhat on the lower side. But that's to be expected for a laptop without an extreme modern fan cooled GPU one finds in desktops.
First impressions: They keyboard layout is somewhat tighter. Coming from a macbook primarily, the keyboard is shifted to the left... because there's an added ten key to the right. This could be a game changer for those with productivity requirements (Excel, data entry etc). They put the trackpad also left adjusted centered with the keyboard. At first I had a few issues adjusting to the left, errant right clicks by clicking on the right side of the trackpad . But that's all customizable in settings and able to be disabled.
For authentication, there's a fingerprint button. I was surprised how fast it works. Zero noticeable delay.
Startup is super fast. Laptop profile is super slim, it's lightweight.
Screen is 1920 x 1200. And it's touch screen. You can fold the entire laptop screen back and flip it around to use it completely like a tablet. That would be great for when I'm doing recipes in the kitchen.
All in all this is an impressive laptop.

I’ve spent a few days with the Dell Plus 2-in-1 16", and honestly, it’s one of those laptops that just gets most things right. From the moment I opened the lid, the solid build gave off a premium feel—no flimsy plastic here.
Here are my comments on each section I found relevant to my use case;
• Sharp FHD+ Touchscreen – The display is crisp, colorful, and smooth, whether I’m scrolling through articles or watching videos. Plus, the touchscreen adds that extra level of convenience when I want to ditch the trackpad. The CON: I would prefer the screen to get a little brighter. Totally fine for indoor use, but hard to see when outside in daylight. (minus 1 star)
• Fast Wi-Fi – No lag, no endless buffering—it connects quickly and holds strong, even in spots where other devices struggle.
• Backlit Keyboard – This is a game-changer in dim lighting, making late-night typing a breeze.
• Great Number Pad Layout – I appreciate the big Enter button—it just feels right when typing. My previous laptop has the smaller enter button and I constantly hit the wrong button.
• Standard USB & HDMI Ports – Having a full-size USB slot and HDMI port means I don’t have to carry around adapters, which is always a plus.
• Fingerprint Reader – Quick and reliable—it lets me log in instantly without typing a password every time.
• Solid Build – This laptop feels sturdy and well-constructed, making it perfect for daily use. Since this is on the larger size, it is a bit heavy, so I would recommend the 14 inch model if you are on the go a lot.
• Good Battery Life – I can go hours without scrambling for a charger, which is great when I do happen to travel with it.
• Sound – The sound quality is much louder than my previous laptop. Pretty impressive for a laptop.
Overall, the Dell Plus 2-in-1 doesn’t just perform well—it feels good to use. It’s a laptop that balances power, convenience, and thoughtful design. If you're looking for something reliable with a fast connection, practical features, and premium feel, (And for indoor use) this might be the one for you.

This Dell 16” Intel Core Ultra 7 Copilot+ laptop is, for the most part, a solid machine for everyday use. While it adds to the weight, the aluminum casing gives it a premium feel, and I think it will hold up longer than plastic found on many laptops. The keyboard provides a sturdy feeling without too many clacking sounds. The trackpad is, well, average at best; I always use an external mouse on laptops that only have a trackpad. The screen is bright and crisp for an LED display. The ability to use this as a clamshell laptop or a tablet is fun, but I doubt most people will use it as a tablet since it is relatively heavy compared to other tablets. Interestingly, the 16-inch version and 14-inch version of this laptop are the same price despite having almost identical specs other than the size of the screen.
First Impressions: Starting this laptop up was a very disappointing experience (see pictures). I was disappointed in how many updates – both software and firmware – this laptop needed just to get to the point of getting to the Windows desktop. It took almost 2 hours from first powering the laptop on to being able to start using it. I don’t know whether to fault Dell or Microsoft … but a laptop this new shouldn’t take that long. Getting Microsoft 365 setup was also a poor experience – I had to uninstall/reinstall M365 from my Microsoft account to get it up and running. The bloatware is reasonable for a Windows machine although I did go through and remove a lot of apps I found unnecessary for my use case.
Using the Laptop: I have been using this computer mainly for business purposes. For general Microsoft apps and web browsing, the i7 Ultra with 16GB of shared RAM/Integrated Graphics was pleasantly as quick as a hiccup. When pushing the integrated graphics card a little via a video editing app, the laptop still felt adequate. Over the week or so I’ve been using this laptop, the battery life is decent. I can get through a day of back-to-back Teams meetings along with some Excel and Access work with about 20% battery life remaining when it’s time to pack up (note, I intentionally keep the screen very dim to achieve this on all my mobile devices). Certainly a good battery, especially for a 16-inch laptop but nothing remarkable. Copilot+ is embedded in all aspects of this device and I was impressed with how quickly I was able to generate answers to questions of many varieties. One thing to note on this device – the fan can get a bit noisy which, at first, startled me a little as my “main” computer is from a different manufacturer, runs a different OS, and has no fan.
Final Thoughts: I would say this Dell is a decent value for its price point and capabilities. If I had the chance to choose over again, I would probably go with the 14-inch even though it’s the same price. This laptop is solid, but also large and when on the road, real estate in a backpack or briefcase is precious. Overall, I think most people would find this laptop perfectly capable of performing everyday tasks. If they offered this laptop with Windows 11 Pro at a similar price point, I would say it has a lot of potential.

The Dell Plus 2-in-1 is a fantastic choice for anyone, particularly students or budget-conscious professionals, who need a versatile and reliable laptop without breaking the bank. Its standout feature is the 2-in-1 design, allowing you to seamlessly switch between a traditional laptop and a tablet for note-taking, presentations, or entertainment.
Powered by a selection of modern Intel Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen AI processors, the Dell Plus delivers solid performance for everyday productivity. It handles web browsing, streaming, and office applications with ease. The impressive battery life—often lasting over 15 hours on a single charge—is a major highlight, ensuring you can get through a full day of work or classes without needing to find an outlet. The laptop also boasts a comfortable keyboard, a responsive touchpad, and a sturdy build quality that feels more premium than its price tag suggests.
While the performance and build are strong, the Dell Plus 2-in-1 does have a few notable compromises. The display, while a 2K resolution on some models, can be somewhat dim and lacking in vibrancy compared to higher-end laptops with OLED screens. This might be a dealbreaker for users who prioritize vibrant colors for creative work or media consumption. The audio quality is also a little flat.
Ultimately, the Dell Plus 2-in-1 is a great value proposition. If you need a dependable, long-lasting machine that offers the flexibility of a tablet and can handle daily tasks with speed, it's a solid choice that's hard to beat at this price point. Just be aware of its display and audio limitations.

I recently purchased the Dell Plus 16" laptop. Its' display is sharp with vibrant colors. The performance speed is very fast. Plenty of memory for Excel, Word, and web browsing. Features a sixteen inch touch screen plus a large responsive touch pad, a number pad and a backlit keyboard. The design of this laptop is thinner and appealing. Competitive price - the sale price was well priced and affordable.

Let me start with this for me this laptop was so close to perfect the performance the design were incredible but I was let down by one thing and that was one of the most glaring things on the laptop the screen. Two issues for me they are no way deal breakers but they keep it from scoring a 5 star. The glare when there is bright lights can be a bit tough but that mainly happens because it’s not that bright. In low light the screen looks great the colors are on point and it has enough brightness but during the day or around bright lights the screen just isn’t bright enough to enjoy.
Now that is out of the way let me talk about all the good. The design is great so simple yet so elegant plenty for space on the keyboard and has good area to rest your wrists as you type and the mousepad works incredibly well.
Performance is also really good any task I threw at it handled pretty well even did some light gaming granted the fans really kick on if your playing an intense game but I was able to pay some modern games with decent graphics settings.
The screen while a bit too dim for me does look really god color accuracy is great and the speakers are very good and can get pretty decently loud.
All in all this is the total package for a laptop it has great battery life a great design and for the most part a great looking screen. I definitely recommend this laptop if your looking for something for work slash media consumption

The Dell Plus 2-in-1 16" Touch Screen Laptop is the first laptop that I have had that has had built in AI capabilities. Key AI features include things like Copilot AI Assistant. You can use it to help with tasks like summarizing documents, drafting emails, and offering suggestions. It can generate real-time subtitles for any audio for meetings, or videos for social media. It can enhance video calls with features like background blur, automatic framing and more. The cocreator tool can assit in image creation and editing visuals. I plan on using it at my board meeting this week to take notes and sumarize the meeting notes. The laptop itself has a 16" touch screen, is full high definition, and can be used in different modes: laptop, tent, tablet, and stand modes. It has (1) HDMI 2.1 port, (1) USB Gen 1 Type A, (1) USB Type C port, (1) Thunderbolt 4 port, and (1) Headset Jack. The laptop is made very well. I like the backlit keyboard and the numberkeyboard. It seems like it is very well made and will last a long time. The only downside I see is that it is a little on the heavy side weighing in at 4.52 pounds. I have not tested this - but it says that the battery can last 21-24 hours. I hope I never have to work for that many hours straight to find out - but it would be nice to have a machine that you can rely on. This is another beautiful Dell product that I look forward to having for many years to come.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 marks a step up from past consumer-grade chips: it brings a strong balance of power and efficiency, making it well suited for modern multitasking, productivity workloads, creative workloads and even light-to-moderate gaming. In everyday use — running heavy office applications, large spreadsheets or significant browser workloads — the Ultra 7 delivers smooth, responsive performance. Its high core/thread counts and improved architecture noticeably accelerate tasks like video encoding, data crunching, or creative software rendering, outpacing many of the older mainstream chips. The result: a laptop that rarely feels sluggish even under load, and comfortably handles demanding workloads without overwhelming power consumption.
When paired with capable GPUs, as with the Inspiron 16 Plus model, the system becomes an attractive option not only for content creators — video editors, graphic designers — but also for developers, data analysts, or anyone doing CPU-heavy workloads as part of their everyday computing. The Ultra 7’s strengths in multi-core performance shine in compile times, rendering jobs, and similarly parallel workloads.
That said, the Ultra 7 isn’t a “top-end gaming powerhouse” on its own. As with many CPUs of its class, raw gaming performance may lag slightly behind the highest-end chips — especially when graphics-heavy games are involved, or when pushing high frame rates. If your primary goal is cutting-edge gaming or professional 3D rendering, a higher-tier CPU or specialized hardware might be worth considering.
In summary: the Intel Core Ultra 7 delivers an excellent real-world balance of performance, responsiveness, and efficiency. For professionals, creatives, or power users wanting a laptop that can handle serious workloads — but still remain versatile enough for everyday tasks — it’s a very compelling choice.

I got it for my son as his graduation gift. He enjoys it and takes it everywhere with him. So far no problems. The display is good. The sound is good. Its really thin and sleek. The price wasnt bad either. He's able to play his games on there with no problems.
