16 Plus Laptop DB16250-16.0-inch 16:10 2.5K (2560x1600) Display, Intel Core Ultra 9 288V, 32GB LPDDR5X Memory, 2TB SSD, Arc Graphics, Backlit Copilot Key Keyboard, Windows 11 Home

Not what I wanted. I made the mistake. I ordered this computer under the new Dell's renaming plan. I wanted the renamed Latitude, not the renamed Inspiron which this computer is, and the seller CLEARLY titled it as such. The Latitude has more ports than the Inspiron. Again, MY BAD. Why... Why me. After looking and looking and then making this mistake...GRRRR. Anyways, what a fantastic computer!! I purchased my previous computer around ~2008, so yes, I am impressed with the newest and latest. I chose the upgraded components such as the Ultra 9, 32GB the high-end LPDDR5X (I'm talking about a max of 8,533Mbps, OMG), 2TB SSD... Logi M650L mouse. This combo is so fast, I mean so fast, I can't even keep up. Just a blink of an eye and my photography program(s) run, and the task is finished. The backlit keyboard keeps turning off and turns back on with a touch of any key. I'll have to find the way to disable this in that I want to see the keyboard when I initially place my fingers. After that, it can turn off as I know where the symbols are. Very easy and actually very quick setup. I chose to use a thumb drive to bring my programs and data over. Recognized my printer very quickly. My home webpage already saved my 'favorites', so no problems there. Speaker is sufficient in that I do not have to turn it up to 100, just to barely hear it. Usually, 50-55 suffices with this computer. I can actually hear the stereo separation. Even with the audio/video players equalizer, it still plays music flat. Absolutely no bass. Yes, I know this isn't a home 5,000w speaker system, but this is 2025. I would expect a laptop to sound like a mini stereo system with, I don't know, BASS... or at least better than the cheapest cellphone. Come-on. USB ports... As stated before, I wanted the Latitude with more ports. This one has only one USB. My mouse takes that one. That's it. No more ports. Hmm, 2025 says at least 2 ports standard?? It has 2 USB-C ports. One is occupied for power, although I believe it can be used if running off of battery. This computer gets slightly; I mean very, very, VERY slightly warm on the bottom of the left side. Hardly even noticeable unless you are actually looking for it. The fan is also very quiet. I do not notice it unless I'm looking for the noise, slightly turning my head or it speeds up Still very quiet. Other than that, I can't hear it with the awesome, no bass music playing. Screen is crystal clear and is advertised as "Low Blue Light (Hardware Solution)". Yeah, don't ask me. It seems to work. I love this computer...BUT, as stated previously, I wanted the Latitude. Meh, I'll have to use my USB adapter. Only one con I see. When turning on the computer, everything loads up fast to include connecting to the internet. However, the computer is slow to allow the home webpage to connect to the internet. I don't know why. I click the internet icon and shows it, in of itself, will not connect for a good minute, although the computer itself indicates it is connected to the Wi-Fi network. Could be my non-McAfee internet security checking things out first or could be this newest and latest Wi-Fi7 but who knows. Just a minor inconvenience. Lesson learned. Take your time and know which model you are purchasing.

I ordered the one with the Core Ultra 9 processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. My profession is such that I use my computers extensively. Also, as an amateur photographer, need to use photo-processing software. I installed the upcoming Windows 11 Pro 25H2 (laptop comes with the Home version). This laptop handles everything like a charm. Have never had complaints with Dell quality. This should last me a few years. Understand, though, that the laptop has only 1 USB-A port, 1 USB-C, 1 Thunderbolt port, and one universal audio jack. There is no SD or microSD card reader. I am fine with purchasing a USB-C adapter with card readers, etc. The laptop is quite slim, weighs a mere 4+ lbs, and is pleasant to look at - the case is light-blue in color. The screen resolution is perfect for my needs (set magnification at 125%). Got it on sale for $1,099 which, for me, is a reasonable price for it. Finally, note this isn't a gaming laptop. I don't play any games on my computers, so I cannot comment on that. But it is a rather functional and able laptop for work and home computing needs.

So far this has been a good laptop. Dell improved the clamshell hinges on this model so they seem a bit sturdier. (These broke on my last Dell laptop.) It was easy to set up. Battery life is good. Sound quality is good but not the best. I like the size because I wanted a slightly bigger screen. It only had a few ports, so think about how many you will need. No DVD player. I use this as a personal laptop and not for work. I don’t do any gaming on it.

I bought the core 9, 32 gb, great machine but returned it after two weeks. Why? Dell embedded McAfee software. If you elect out of it, even after uninstalling, it has embedded kernels that prevent Windows Defender from working. My preference for Windows Defender was overruled by Dell’s unethical embedding of difficult to remove software. If you don’t believe it, just AI it.

Purchased it very good prize during Christmas. Very light, very fast, so far no issue. however the AI thing is a little bit annoying. This is not just for dell, all AI pcs. High screen resolution. Because it is light you may need to handle carefully. Not sure it may take abuse well.

Great computer for the money

Amazing. Fast, intuitive, good size and design. Still need to exploit all the gadgets and Ai tools.

Purchased after my college laptop finally died. I’ve only had it a few weeks, but it’s been great for my needs (occasional CAD, light gaming, office/web browsing). Its fast, ARC graphics works well with games I’ve played so far and CAD utilized (Solid Edge 2025). Windows 11 is great and easy to use with a quick setup. A very decent platform for the money.
