Dell XPS 16 (2024) Review

 

The Dell XPS 16 (2024) is quite the specimen. It pushes the boundaries of what we've seen from the XPS in its illustrious history.

Gorgeous 4K OLED screen ; Impressive gaming chops ; Excellent Intel CPU performance ; Sleek design

Slim, but heavy ; Keyboard won’t be for everyone

A stylish powerhouse with a great screen, the Dell XPS 16 (2024) has executed a winning combination. The Intel Core Ultra CPU performance is backed by a bold Nvidia RTX GPU choice for strong results. It’s ideal for strenuous work and high-level play. A...

Dell XPS 16 review: with great power comes grievous portability

 

Dell's 2024 XPS 16 (known as the 9640) is a sensational Windows laptop – if the size is right for your needs

Excellent performance ; Clean and smart design ; A big and bright screen

System locks briefly when switching graphics devices ; 16-inch means unavoidable portability limitations ; Battery life is a bit short

The Dell XPS 16 (9640) remains the powerhouse large Windows laptop to beat, with a great screen and performance to spare. But it is heavy and bulky to carry around owed to its larger size – so be sure this is scale you need, as the company also makes...

Hands on: Dell XPS 16: a high-end laptop that exudes luxury

 

The Dell XPS 16 is shaping up to be a luxurious laptop

Brilliant 4K OLED display ; Great keyboard ; Full HD webcam ; Well-built frame ; Port selection is better than XPS 13

Port selection is still not great ; Inaccessible taskbar and touchpad ; A bit larger and heavier than the other models

It seems like Dell is attempting to surpass the XPS 15 model from previous years with a more indulgent Dell XPS 16, and it's working. It features a fully 4K resolution OLED display, a much-improved webcam and ventilation system, a great keyboard, and...

Dell XPS 16 review: a problematic powerhouse

 

The Dell XPS 16 takes the place of two important laptops, the XPS 15 and 17, and it does well enough. But, it's too expensive and seriously needs a discount.

Attractive, ultramodern aesthetic Good keyboard and haptic touchpad Strong productivity and creative performance Decent 1440p gaming A very nice OLED display Pleasing audio

Too expensive LED touch function keys are a bust Battery life can't keep up

“The Dell XPS 16 is one of the most beautiful and powerful laptops you can buy.”

Dell XPS 16 9640 Review: A Big, Bold and Brawny Creator Laptop

 

Dell's new 16-inch XPS model offers a unique design backed by strong performance and surprisingly long battery life. Just be prepared to pay for its many configurable charms.

Striking design and solid build quality ; Strong overall performance ; Long battery life ; Big and beautiful OLED display ; Quad speakers produce great sound

Function row is less functional without physical keys ; HDMI and USB-A connectivity requires a dongle ; Upgrades can quickly get expensive

Dell XPS 16 (2024) review: This Windows laptop gives the MacBook Pro a run for its money

 

Dell already had a hit on its hands with last year's XPS line of laptops, but it went ahead and made the 2024 model better anyway.

Stunning 4K display with thin bezels ; Room-filling Dolby Atmos speakers ; Powerful hardware

Low-profile keyboard can be a miss for some ; Heavy materials ; Divisive keyboard design

Dell XPS 9640

 

Overall, the Dell XPS 16 9640 is one of the most impressive 16-inch machines that we have tested up to date. The device looks and feels special because of the well-crafted strong aluminum chassis with a modern and sleek design. The backlit keyboard...

Elegant design ; Thin and compact for what it is ; Very high P and E core clocks during full processor stress ; The fans aren’t loud ; Premium and solid build quality ; PWM-free (Sharp 17TDN-LQ163N1) ; High max brightness + very good contrast ratio and...

Poor upgradability ; High price ; Invisible touchpad

Dell XPS 16 (9640) and XPS 14 (9440) review: New looks and great performance combined with a few quirks

 

The XPS 16 and XPS 14 have premium looks, feel, and features, but also some design quirks.

Strong performance from Intel Core Ultra chips ; Attractive design ; Intel Wi-Fi 7 ; Excellent speaker system

Capacitive function row as a replacement for physical keys isn’t ideal ; Capacitive touchpad lacks defined boundaries ; Graphite exterior finish is a fingerprint magnet ; Priced more like MacBook Pros than competitive Windows laptops

Dell’s new XPS 16 and XPS 14 offer great performance and features but carry lofty price tags.

Dell XPS 16 hands-on review: A super-sized XPS 13 Plus

 

The new Dell XPS 16 features the same design as the XPS 13 Plus... for better or worse. Here are our initial impressions of Dell's upcoming laptop.

Despite some quibbles with the capacitive touch keys and touchpad, the Dell XPS 16 itself seems like it will be an all-around solid laptop. Its design is striking, and even its starting configuration should provide enough power for work and play. Will...
