2024 Dell XPS 16 (9640) REVIEW - A MASTERPIECE?

XPS 16 is a very capable laptop but $3.5K for that configuration is not a good bang for the buck. I'll wait to see how the Ultra Core 9 fares in terms of performance vs battery life. This model would be a good option if priced between 2.6K to 3K range for those 32GB RAM/4070/4K OLED option.

6:47 How mesmerising is it to see those thin bezels on this Dell laptop screen, it is breathtaking. 6:47 Companies that trim their bezels will satisfy their loyal fans who does fixate on beautiful screens. 8:05 The smoothness of the touch screen is truly evident as you pinch and slide your fingers on the screen. 10:30 The auto-framing and background blurr are features that makes a world of difference (they are indispensable).

About touchpad-click on Dell XPS: it is as good as on MacBooks? I have a MacBook Air and want a Windows computer, but can't find a touchpad on Windows computer where you don't have to press much harder on the touchpad than on the MacBook. I see that XPS has a Sensel touchpad and would like to know if I finally can get a Windows computer with a touchpad where I don't have to press hard to click..

[@cionheart]

The display is good, but 90Hz and 400nits is disappointing for a high price flagship device.

[@Nate-zy5ce]

Too bad no camera shutter. That said, I like that the 16" display is actually 16.3". Others, like the Galaxy Book4 16" are actually 15.6" Nicely done, Dell. If I can't have 17", I like that it's still 16.3". And with the bezels almost gone all the way around, I like that physically it's smaller overall than other 16" laptops, closer to a 15" size.

3500 dollars for 3 usb-C and a microSD card reader is a joke. My 2019 XPS has more and better ports.

[@盾神京矢]

I miss the RAM slots. I know they take up some space. But Dell can use their own smaller, more advanced CAMM module. When a manufacturer does support its own standard, it still might not take off. But when it doesn't, the standard will not take off at all.

[@k.d.2899]

Still 90hz screen in 2024 don’t care its resolution and still so much fan noise despite the gpu limited 60 watt. That’s deal breaker.

[@Quizzter]

Personally, the 2023 XPS is a better device. The escape and function keys should be physical keys, not only is it worst for typing, the 'peace of mind' knowing that when I press a key, I know it was pressed is a big deal. The fact that the RAM is not upgradable and there being only one m.2 slot is also pathetic. Repairability and upgradability should be standard at this price. The screen being 90hz is great but why is it not 120hz, at this price that's not acceptable (the 2023 model is in the same boat.. 60hz... really?). I am glad that in Canada, Dell was selling the XPS 15 9530 at a nice discount, and I am very glad I picked it up at that price.

[@mohitbhimrajka5245]

hey i am planning on ordering the same one, how has your experience been with the laptop?

[@dariuszchmiea3567]

The ram, the keyboard, no function keys disqualifies this laptop at start.

[@jholman-thrive]

I have an XPS 15 and I think its a great machine. The new 16 seems to have some odd choices. Also if you look at the pricing some of the same things cost more, like Win 11 Home -> Pro is $60 vs $50, if you want 64 GB RAM, you HAVE to get the RTX 4070. Pricing this vs the 15, it comes out to $960 more. Losing one SSD slot for some isn't a big deal, but I can understand the complaints IF you need two slots. I had a touchbar MacBook Pro and while it didn't bother me as much, at first glance seeing what Dell has here, not sure I like it. The keyboard seems like a step backwards as well. I would like to see one in person, but for me, the XPS 15 is where I am staying. I think I saw that you are in Vegas! Maybe see you around sometime.

[@galekeoma7276]

Do you notice the 60Hz on the XPS 15? I have my eye on the 9530, but I would be coming from an older laptop with 120Hz, but I do like the sound of that 10+ hour battery life all factors considered.

[@jholman-thrive]

I was going to consider it but with the super low travel keyboard, much more weight than other 16 inch laptops with similar specs/battery life, and the true deal-breaker, the ugly touch bar, this is a guaranteed no buy.

I purchased a Dell XPS back in 2016, I used it for 1 hour before coming to the conclusion that it was pretty crap, from the hardware itself to the Windows OS running at the time, and this is coming from someone who has been using a MacBook Pro since 2010. I honestly think Dell was too ambitious with the pricing, with an almost identically spec'd MacBook Pro 16" basically the same price, and the M3 Max is much better in performance than Intel's Ultra 7 if I'm not mistaken. Looks like Dell has improved a lot since 2016, but I still think it's kind of a no-brainer to go with Apple right now unless you absolutely need Windows.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Why are you talking about a laptop from 2016? Eight years ago. People just stop it!!

No upgradeable RAM: terrible. I've bought dozens of XPSes since 2015 and one of the first things we did was chuck out the stock RAM and SSD and replace those with top-of-the-line brand name versions. Luckily the Framework 16 is out and shipping just in time and I can switch guilt-free.

[@rburch]

This is SO close to being an AMAZING laptop. Don't get me wrong, they've definitely made a pretty darn good 2024 XPS - but it could have been amazing with just a few minor things. The screen should have an option for 120-Hz. Even though it may not be needed all the time and it would play a factor in battery life, it should be an option. 1080p webcam. While this is a huge improvement over the 720p that's been on XPS models in past years (for which there's no excuse why they weren't already 1080p), it still falls a bit short. Given that this is 2024, this should have AT LEAST a 5 MP webcam (similar to several Lenovo models) or 9 MP (as some HP models have). At the price point of the XPS, there's still no excuse for the webcam to be what would have been considered great 5 years ago. Full size SD card reader. Just my thoughts. It's good. It's just not great.

The 2024 Dell XPS 16 (9640) is a stunning machine that unfortunately is not without some negatives. It's expensive, do not like the lack of available ports, not crazy about the separate USB dongle since that can get lost, speaker sound quality while good does not compare with the Apple MacBook Pro's speakers as well as some improvements in some areas but not in others with this year's processor. Positives are the gorgeous screen, battery life, faster RAM albeit soldered in as opposed to upgradeable. The 1080p webcam is a solid improvement Finally over 720p quality and the internal mic array was clear as well.

UNfortunatelly I must say I think they did kill off the XPS line. The touch function keys and ESC key which I must say is a separate problem. Also I liked so much their carbon fiber feel of classic XPS line.... They do need to preserve it somehow. The only good thing I think is that they may have discounts on last year model you still can get the best windows laptop for some time.

[@butchdeadlift7551]

Yeah, the escape key, lack of carbon fiber (I love the look and contrast it gives a silver laptop), downgrade to one M.2 slot, and soldered RAM just make it a no-go for me. Not to mention how the performance difference is negligible. Also, I've got 6TB of storage in my 9500 across two drives - they don't even make NVMEs over 4TB so I'd have to downgrade. I luckily picked up a 9530 i9/4060 motherboard for cheap off ebay so I'll have almost the same performance as this for less than 1/4 of the cost (incl. the 9500!). Seems like there are far better options unless you want to flex how much money you can blow on gadgets.

In what world does increasing a laptop size, beloved by programmers, lead to a smaller keyboard with an ephemeral function key row make sense on a $3K+ keyboard make sense. Personally it's a dealbreaker, I know folks been ripping on the XPS for a few years, arguing the old design being rehashed is lazy, but its a if, it's not broke dont fix it. But keeping the same design as the 13inch for a 16inch is literally just lazy. I love the hardware but this is a my main work tool, beyond the 9500+ touchpad driver issues, now I'd have to deal with the debugging keys being a strip of aluminium

the speakers are already great they just need to add 2 more for 6 speaker system

[@rajpawar9343]

Speakers are boomy. 10 watts power. XPS 16 (9640) should be my favorite laptop for 2024.

Can I use this laptop for Blender or any 3d software like Blender?

Hi Any idea if the new XPS laptops with basic setup will support external monitor with 5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, like the Dell U4025QW? Thanks.

Why would anyone get this instead of the 2024 Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i?

Andrew killing it with another great review!

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Appreciate that!

I again saw your ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X OLED UX7602 review and it exported 3 min H.264 video in 1min 32 seconds. It has terrible battery life. Dell xps 16 2024 did same in 53 seconds and has much much better battery life. Wow very impressive.

As always... Thanks for the great reviews!!! How does 90hz feels compared to 120hz just for scrolling an touch navigating the Windows UI ? Noticble difference ? Are you going to review the XPS 14 version as wel ? Then it's maybe a good comparision for the refresh rate :) Did you notice any Screen door effect or moire pattern due to the touch layer ? Thanks!

[@andrewmarcdavid]

I think 90hz is fine especially for battery life. To me not a big difference overall. There is a a screen door effect but to me not very noticeable unless you really look super close

[@Cybertron667]

@@andrewmarcdavid Ok thanks! Sounds good!!!

[@HDRPC]

@@andrewmarcdavid 100% agreed

Excellent review! I am always trying out newer laptops from the used marketplace and I always find myself going to back the XPS. Dell just knows how to make a premium laptop! 14” would be my pick!

Appreciate that!

how is web / text legibility on the OLED panel vs. a traditional panel?
