Laptops generally for some dumb reason overheat pretty regularly out of the box. What gives? Why can't I get full performance out of a laptop without paying for an additional cooling pad or drilling some holes in the chassis? It makes zero sense to have powerful components the full performance of which you can't utilize, the heat output of which generally makes the laptop degrade faster, run louder, and be uncomfortable to use on a lap. A laptop you can't use on your lap is missing the point.

@gargamel314Ай бұрын
I bought a Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 3 years ago - actually was the first Dell Inspiron 16 Plus model. Things I will warn you about ahead of time: #1 The Hinges! Actually the hinges are quite nice, but what they are anchored to, which is the plastic interior on the back of the lid, will eventually deteriorate (after about 2 years when the warranty runs out) and possibly crack the screen. If you are lucky enough that the screen isn't damaged, you can buy a lid and hinge assembly and replace it yourself. This is a common laptop issue not specific to Dell, but it is present in many Dell laptops including INSPIRON MODELS! To prevent this, you can take the laptop apart and use a screwdriver to loosen the torque on the hinges slightly (makes it a little easier to open with one hand, but will probably void the warranty), or use 1 hand always right in the middle, or 2 hands equally on the sides to open your laptop to balance the load on those hinge anchor points. #2 Trackpad - this has been a widespread problem with Dell Laptops lately, but specifically with the Inspiron 16 Plus models. The trackpad over the past few years has not been properly grounded resulting in skipping/laggy/jumpy trackpad operation. This can be easily fixed with a little piece of wire and a soldering iron, but will most certainly end your warranty. The alternative is, Dell Service will open multiple tickets and replace your trackpad several times as they cannot figure out how to fix this problem. Ask me how I know! Or just search the Inspiron forums for "Trackpad" and see the plethora of posts about this problem. #3 Thermal Paste - whatever they use isn't sufficient for laptops that stay in the 80-100C range all the time. I absolutely recommend Arctic MX-4 which has excellent durability in this range. There's also some good cooling pads with powerful fans that can sufficiently cool this laptop. #4 Power Throttle - Mine came with a NASTY power throttle, after a few minutes of gaming, my CPU performance would drop to a mere 15%, game would get super laggy, but thermals were not the cause. Turns out the 11th Gen tiger lake CPUs are set to drop way down in power levels after their turbo boost expired, hobbling performance. Easily fixed with ThrottleStop, but it's not something that's obvious. Maybe they've corrected this since 2021 with the newer CPUs? Let's hope. Hoping my Inspiron 16 tips are helpful if you are looking at this laptop. I've had mine for 3 years and it's fantastic, but I've had to repair several things myself on it (obviously from the comments above), something that a lot of people who watch this channel are comfortable doing. To Dell's credit, the design is very easy to get into and repair, but their tech service people do NOT want you repairing this yourself, and their warranty is not self-repair-friendly whatsoever. Just don't leave any permanent evidence that you opened it and you'll be just fine.

I use it for Data Science with Anaconda, Power BI, Excel, Tableau and other stuff. For games I didn't expect it to run so well. I was looking for a gaming laptop but this one has roughly the same specs as a new Alienware M2 and it's way cheaper. I've been running Starfield and Modern Wafare 3. When it's not plugged it runs silently but hot with GPU around 70c and CPU around 75-80c. For me that's good. The only issues that I had were related to when the laptop is plugged while gaming. The temp of the CPU goes to 85-90 and sometimes over 100c and I didn't like that. So I changed the CPU clock to run at 80% when plugged and it worked very well. Temperatures went back to 75-80c and didn't cause anything with the games. They keep running above 60 FPS with specs around Medium-High which is enough for me (I got a PS5 as well). I'm happy with the product and hope to keep it for the next 3-4 years.

The Inspiron and Latitude lines from Dell are their best products. They may not have the flare of something like the XPS but they are far more reasonably priced, have much better IO, and many of the interior components are upgradeable/repairable. If your wifi fails, just swap in a new card. If you need more storage, just replace the drive. If you need more ram, just add more. These things benefit individual consumers but they also show that Dell was thinking about larger scale deployments when designing the computer. In house IT can do most of the needed repairs and maintenance on these machines. It looks like the battery might even be replaceable. If any of those components failed in my MacBook pro, the computer would be a $4K piece of dead aluminum.

The barrel jack is because it is a chassis that's 4+ years old and was using it. But the EU forced a type C for everything, so Dell just put a type C charger instead of the barrel one. On my 2021 model I've got the barrel plug.
@yerachmielb1Ай бұрын
To be fair to the barrel jack, if you don't include it, then I'm forced to use USB C for charging when I might otherwise have something else I want/need that port for. Including both is a good choice.

Regarding the barrel jack: I have an Inspiron and I use an ext.GPU via TB4. Without the barrel jack I'd be limited to 60W that TB4 can provide, while via Bar.J. I can boost the CPU to 105W.

3:38: atleast it came with a 120hz 1600p (slightly better 1080p) screen. A buddy of mine has a Inspiron 16 with a 720p screen. Oddly enough that it came with an Nvidia mobile gpu and a 12th gen i7 processor but the laptop has a 720p screen. If I had to buy anything from Dell now it would be the older XPS laptops or the Alienware laptops but those are just expensive

I'd take a barrel jack over a USB-C charging port any day . To me the USB one doesn't last and even less if you use the laptop once on bed. It's one of the main "features" I look after when I buy a new laptop, if there is no barrel then it gets discarded. Having a USB-C port as a secondary charging port is a good option when you are actually traveling out of your home city but for home and office work, I take the barrel.
@MisterCoolGuy1Ай бұрын
I don't get this take. Personally never had wear issues in type c ports. Although the timeframe is smaller where I've used C, I've had multiple dc ports fail over the years. This is in addition to most units having multiple type c ports that support power
@BacavoitАй бұрын
@@MisterCoolGuy1 Most units? Only if they have multiple Thunderbolt ports cause most laptops I see have the upper left as main power input for charging and the rest are just for data only they are Thunderbolt ports. My MSI Katana doesn't support charge over USB-C which would have been good for travel but that is ok too since it is too heavy and was never bought to travel and go around the city with it.

Yeah I remember when I was stupidly looking at buying a Dell a few years ago and couldn't understand why their Inspiron laptops (same specs as well) was better value then their premium XPS and gaming Alienware. I assumed the latter 2 are aimed at people who think thin and light or RGB in a laptop is worth paying extra $$$. You know people with more money than sense.

I have this laptop but the7610 from 3 generations before and is a good laptop, but not well-built. The 7610 had a much bigger trackpad, but it was defective by design, It wasn't grounded, and it started to read ghost touches or don't even read any touch, it was reparable by soldering a wire between the ground pad and the chassis. Another problem is the hinges, they are screwed on brass threads that are glued on the screen lid with glue. After a while of course the glue failed, the hinge failed because of that and broke the screen. I was able to repair it with backing soda and superglue and replaced and upgraded the screen from the one used by the ThinkPad x1 extreme, the one with 500 nits and 1600p. The built quality, it is not a ThinkPad, it is not an XPS, my old XPS 15 9570 have more metal on the bottom lid than on entire inspiron 16 plus, it uses super thin metal reforced with plastic. More, it seems this new version have the same issue as my version. When it was gaming and using the GPU in the full 60W, the CPU only consumes 10-15W max. Because of that, games stutter a lot. For repair, you need to put it in high performance in the cooling mod on the my dell app (that is super slow) and on high performance on Windows. It will give the 30-35W to the CPU, never the 45W of his TDP, and even my old laptop is a good 1080p 60hz gaming machine, but it will be a very loud machine and a very hot machine. The keyboard will not be that hot, but the part on top of the grill, above the keyboard right next to the screen will burn you. In resume I like my laptop, it is very flawed, but it costed my less than 600 euros a year after release. For the MSRP, I would be very angry with this laptop.

I'm done with Dell. I have a XPS 13 Plus at work and it is in general pretty good at many things, BUT also has big issues. And those of my colleagues too. Like sometimes Bluetooth stops working and I have to reboot (and it really struggles at rebooting) and sometimes I loose the audio of my headset (no, the headset is not the problem) and I have to use the build in speakers during calls. And I am not the only one having those issues. My father has a stupid Aldi Medion Laptop with Aluminium body and high specs and all his drivers work way better. Then for what do I need a Dell Laptop with Dell prices?

Display's pretty good at least on paper, though the brightness _could_ be better. Sunlit conditions have always been rough for laptops, so there's only so much that can be done there, of course. I also love the barrel jack. Way more widespread standard, much sturdier, more reliable, and you can even pick up a suitable charger at Best Buy for cheap, if you want. Good luck doing the same for a 130W USB brick... Frankly I have no clue why I'd wouldn't immediately toss the USB-C charger for a normal one, but options are always good! The temperatures are completely unacceptable, though. And you really can't blame the CPU - the whole job of OEMs like Dell is specifically to put together the right combination of CPU/GPU/cooling/IO/etc. to work out of the box. Clearly they failed to put in enough cooling for this thing. Probably needs another 3-5 millimeters in order to get enough air volume? Something like that. Easy fix that they just failed to do, basically.
