After a week of using this new laptop I am very pleased with what it has to offer. It is fast, powerful and sleek with a great screen and a high quality camera.
Out of the box, the laptop was easy to setup as a replacement to another laptop. There were a few "errors" during setup but the computer self corrected after a few minutes and I could start setting it up. By logging in with my Microsoft ID most of the settings from my other laptop were already configured. After that, it took me a few hours to install my work software and games and I was ready to go.
The first thing I noticed is how fast and powerful this laptop is. It installed software quickly and never hesitated during any intensive applications. To test the graphics, I loaded a graphic intensive driving game and was able to play it on the highest graphics level with no lag. The screen is initially set pretty dim for efficiency but can be very bright if you want it. The graphics quality while watching FHD videos is also very good.
One of my favorite things about this laptop is the integrated camera. Since I am on Teams calls most of my days the camera quality is important. Compared to my previous two laptops, this camera is far better. The videos are crisp and clear, and you can use the camera for face ID to unlock your laptop.
Regarding the laptop output options. It only comes with Thunderbolt (USB-C) outputs. It has three. One is used for the power source. However, it also comes with a small adapter that plugs into the Thunderbolt and converts it to either a regular USB or HDMI. I wasn't aware this came with the laptop but glad it did.
Overall, the most important thing is that it works flawlessly and that I have no complaints. It is a high quality and versatile laptop that can be used for work, fun and everything else you need it for.

Although the Dell Secure Boot does not boot as fast as some other laptops, once booted it is quite fast. And it has got to be the loveliest laptop ever. Though not a touchscreen, the 16" screen presents lovely images. Even the illuminated keyboard keys and special keys make me think of an extravagant sleek design. Although the touchpad is rather generous in size, I found that I occasionally accidentally touched it while typing which caused some typographical errors in my document but I got accustomed to it eventually. That same touchpad is a marvel when used intentionally as such - having a nice feel to it. The actual dimensions of that touchpad are not visible, so I think that is likely the cause of those typos mentioned earlier.
In addition to being attractive hardware, the laptop is a good size and weight for, uh, sitting comfortably in your lap for long periods and it did not get uncomfortably warm. I also noticed the audio sounded pretty good even if nobody expects that from laptops.
This device comes with Windows 11 pre installed. I found the setup to be quite smooth and straightforward. It offers a very complete set of apps for work or play.
Dell has delivered a truly attractive, fast and fully functional high quality product.

The 2024 Dell XPS 16 Evo Edition is quite the attractive laptop. It's got a solid build and still manages to not be terribly heavy. The Intel Core Ultra 7 is a powerhouse, but it really should have come with more than 16gb of ram for the cost. The included RTX 4050 isn't going to help you get the best out of AAA games, but it will get the job done with most major titles at more modest settings. The keypad leaves a bit to be desired, but such is life in a laptop. The trackpad seems to work well and I experienced no issues. The 16.3" FHD+ display is bright and looks great. The resolution is enough for most use cases. The webcam is 1080p and offers quick facial recognition, and includes windows hello capability for video and fingerprint biometrics. The position of the webcam is good, glad they are sticking with the top install. Previous models had it placed under the display which left you looking up your nose on zoom calls. It seems to really shine in the battery life department. So you should have no difficulty using it for business/education productivity on the go. Previous XPS models delivered a little more bang for your buck. This one is pricey, but still quite good. Be prepared to come a lot deeper out of pocket on the more capable builds with better GPU and display. Overall I would still recommend as these Dell XPS laptops are always a good choice for productivity workhorses.

This laptop was everything I ever wanted. The build quality is amazing, everything works as expected, and it looks unique. The new function row is a little odd, but nothing you can’t get used to as well. Overall 10/10
