A laptop that can do more, for less
It’s no secret that we’re fans of the Dell XPS laptop, as it has consistently earned itself a place on our list of the best Windows laptops. It’s not just the futuristic design with razor thin bezels, a borderless haptic touchpad, or the button-less function row — these laptops are also built incredibly well and pack a surprising amount of performance. The largest of the current Dell XPS lineup especially embraces this, with our Dell XPS 16 (9640) review praising it for offering powerful AI PC performance in a gorgeous chassis.
I personally love the design of the Dell XPS 16, and it stands out in a crowd of 16-inch Windows laptops clamoring for your attention. This is 100% a premium, top-of-the-line product that’s meant to compete directly with the best of the best, and it succeeds. While the design and build quality are nothing to scoff at, I especially love the beautiful 4K OLED display that impresses in the same way a professional creator’s laptop like the ASUS ProArt P16 (2024) does.
It also helps that the Dell XPS 16 packs enough firepower to work and play. You can even play all the latest and greatest video games on the Dell XPS 16, with many referring to it as a “sleeper gaming laptop.” The model that’s being discounted for $2,399.99 at Dell rocks the high-end, first-gen Intel Core Ultra 9, a beefy NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU with 8GB of VRAM (and a 60W power draw), 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage alongside that aforementioned 4K OLED display.
If you don’t quite need that much power or don’t mind a lower resolution, less power hungry display, you can also pick up the Dell XPS 16 for $1,899.99 at Dell. This configuration drops the CPU, GPU, and display down by one notch each while leaving everything else the same, saving you an extra $500 in the process.
The XPS 16 also aims to offer all-day battery life, so its NVIDIA GPU is held back a little compared to the most powerful gaming laptops, but it’s certainly no slouch. You’re also getting some of the best speakers in any Windows laptop, Windows Hello biometric authentication, and two USB Type-C Thunderbolt 4 ports to connect to any accessory, monitor, or docking station. It’s a feature-packed laptop that screams “luxury,” although it’s not without some compromises.
If you need a ton of legacy ports like HDMI and USB Type-A, the Dell XPS 16 relies on dongles and docking stations for that. If you despise the thought of replacing the physical function row with capacitive buttons, the XPS 16 also makes that change in the name of superior thermal management and a sleeker design. Apart from that, though, there’s a reason the Dell XPS line is so popular among our readers.
