Although the Dell XPS 16 looks and feels like a simple productivity laptop, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Its powerful processor and mighty discrete graphics card give it the performance to breeze through physics simulations, complicated code, demanding games, or 8K video footage.
It’s also pleasing to look at, with a gorgeous 4K OLED display encased in an all-metal chassis that’s sure to turn heads. So, with so many praises to sing about the Dell XPS 16, what holds it back from being the best laptop overall? The price. Expect to drop at least $1,900, but a configuration with discrete graphics and an OLED display will run you $3,000 or more.
If you’re okay giving up some of the Dell XPS 16’s refinement, you’ll probably love the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16, which is over $1,000 less. On the other hand, if you’re between the XPS 16 and a MacBook Pro 16 M3 Max, the MacBook Pro 16 costs more, but you’ll also get more battery life and a performance that only a bulkier gaming or workstation laptop could match.
