Dell 16 Premium DA16250

I replaced my gaming laptop with the Dell 16 Premium, and the results were unexpected
Source: XDA Developers EN→zh-CN
But if you're the same kind of power user that I am, who wants a laptop that can do everything, the Dell 16 Premium is a pretty great option. It can game, it can run Gimp and Capcut, and it's pretty darn portable for a 16-inch laptop with a discrete GPU as it weighs just 4.65 pounds. While I won't be using the Dell 16 Premium to replace my gaming desktop, it's a solid option to take with me on my next vacation.

Dell 16 Premium Review: Taking On The Best
Source: BGR EN→zh-CN
The Dell 16 Premium is a high-end machine, and as far as Windows laptops go, it's perhaps my favorite option. It's stylish and well-designed, has a stunning display, and boasts top-tier performance. Its battery life certainly leaves a little to be desired though — and it's definitely not cheap. But if you want a laptop with a 16-inch display, and aren't looking for a thicker, heavier gaming laptop, the Dell 16 Premium is the way to go.

86% I've tested more than a hundred laptops in my career, and the Dell 16 Premium is the only MacBook Pro rival worth considering
Source: Techradar EN→zh-CN
It's not often that a laptop can challenge the esteemed MacBook Pro 16-inch and survive the battle, but the Dell 16 Premium absolutely holds it's own against the favored laptop of creatives everywhere, often outperforming it in key areas. If you go for the OLED model, however, just know that its battery life is not great, so bring a charger.

80% I'm torn over the Dell 16 Premium's sleek design — a laptop with great performance but polarizing controls
Source: Windows Central EN→zh-CN
The Dell Premium 16 blends style and substance, offering standout CPU performance, a stunning display, and top-tier speakers all wrapped in an elegant, eye-catching design. If that all sounds appealing to you, then this laptop is definitely worth considering. While this laptop packs a relatively powerful GPU that can handle most graphically demanding software, its graphical performance falls short of expectations compared to some of its rivals ranked as the best Windows laptops. Additionally, design choices like the hidden touchpad, capacitive buttons, and missing ports may feel more polarizing than polished. In the end, if you’re all about having the sleekest tech in the room, the Dell 16 Premium won’t disappoint, but if you want something with a more traditional keyboard and touchpad, you might want to consider something else.

Dell 14 And 16 Premium Laptops Reviewed: Supermodels In Every Way
Source: Hot Hardware EN→zh-CN
What we have here are aesthetics-focused notebooks with reasonable performance but limited upgradeability, which is common for laptops in this weight class. The user experience with both machines is promising, thanks to gorgeous displays, great sound systems, stylish designs, and Intel's Arrow Lake CPU platform. It's only once you start to dig in with these machines that you may start to encounter some frustrations. First and foremost on our list are the capacitive function buttons, which are a divisive design choice. If a user is accustomed to standard markings and tactility for the trackpad area, they might find Dell's invisible trackpad frustrating, too. Neither of these issues ruin the value proposition of these laptops, but they may be frustrating for some.

I tested the Dell XPS' successor - here are the biggest upgrades (and what's the same)

Prices for the Dell Premium 16 start at $1,800 for the base model on the company's official storefront. My review unit currently retails for $2,800 as part of a temporary promotion. If you want a graphic design laptop with extra oomph behind it, I recommend the Alienware 18 Area-51. Its Stealth Mode feature disables all RGB lighting, allowing the gaming laptop to fit right in an office setting. Be mindful of its battery life because it's not great either. Personally, I would go with Dell's laptop. Its performance is rock solid, and it is a more affordable option than the base Alienware 18, which costs $3,200.

2025 Dell 16 Premium and 14 Premium Laptop Review: XPS reborn with Arrow Lake processors in a familiar design
Source: Techaeris EN→zh-CN
The new Dell 16 Premium and Dell 14 Premium have a couple of key differences from last year. The most obvious and main difference is that they are no longer called XPS. The other differences come with configuration and performance. These new machines are now running Intel’s latest Arrow Lake processors and NVIDIA’s latest dedicated GPUs. Arrow and Lunar Lake processors have proven to be much better on battery life with the new CPU/GPU/NPU integration, and that continues to be the case here. Normally, I might advise folks to save some money and purchase last year’s models discounted. But with the new performance boosts, you can’t go wrong with buying the Dell 16 Premium or the 14 now. Dell is already running specials to get the ball rolling on these new devices. Yes, you might miss the XPS name, but you’re essentially getting everything but the name here.
