The Best Value Right Now - Dell Inspiron 16 PLUS Review

[@name8031]

I'm watching this video on my Inspiron 16 plus. Literally the Legion slim 7 was my direct consideration for an alternative, as displayed in this video. Having owned this for over a month, I have had my fair share of issues with this laptop. I have the maxed out model with 32 gb ram and RTX 3060, and I got it on sale for $1350 (the price is why I chose it over the slim 7) before tax. This thing has amazing internal temps, but hot external temps, and the computer will be hot even doing light tasks. Issues I've had with this laptop: 1) Colors randomly go bland sometimes after waking from sleep, and usually revert back, but it once went bland and didn't revert, and I still don't know how to fix it. This seems to be a Windows issue, as the colors are fine in Linux. 2) Small buzz noise when idle 3) Overheating when completely asleep. The laptop will not go to sleep, and will just heat up like crazy (but fans are disabled because it's still technically asleep) and open with a blue screen. 4) Trackpad completely stopping working. I didn't have the clicking issues noted in this video, but I have had the trackpad completely shut off on me, until I rebooted. 5) Nvidia GPU enables itself whenever you plug any USB to the laptop, or whenever you launch most apps, which takes a huge hit on battery life. It just seems like something Dell hasn't managed properly. Don't expect the battery life in the video, because in reality, your GPU will turn on multiple times and just draw 16 watts doing absolutely nothing for a few mins every time you open a new program. The build of this laptop is excellent, the price to performance is excellent (it seems the RTX 3060 model, because it comes with an extra fan, caps the CPU at 53 watts instead of the 45 showed in this video). I would say this is a tough sell for gaming because of one thing-screen response time. It's absolutely abysmal. Unless you're playing open world games only, in which case it sort of acts like natural motion blur, the screen response time being so terrible has made my games feel bad to play. On the RTX 3060 model, I'm able to play GTA at max settings at 2.5k resolution at 60 fps. I want to love this laptop: when it works, it's amazing, but when it doesn't, it's completely frustrating. For reference, I'm an engineering student and casual gamer, and this is why I bought this laptop.

[@TheIndulgers]

Your comment is a better review than the actual video.

[@BrunoSantos-co8oc]

As far as I'm aware, the Slim 7 can get to that price point. However, I really don't get why they are talking so good about the 16 Plus. I watched their video on the Legion Slim 7 and, apparently, the Lenovo machine does everything better than the Dell one, but somehow they are impressed with the latter, while disappointed with the former. Wish I could get some clarifications on that note.

[@lonewolftrading2]

Return it. I returned a dell inspiron (different model ) because the damn touch pad didn't work all the time. They even sent a tech out to the house and replaced it. It was better but still had problems of working and not working.

[@SasanCooper]

When there are no specs in the title or description of the video it means it has Intel inside. Tells a lot about Intel's popularity right now.

This, the former half. Like, what is it with these laptop makers pairing i7 with more performant dGPUs. The i5 is plenty powerful enough; give the customers this choice. _Holy geez..._

[@AlyAsh99]

I got a great deal on the Inspiron 16 plus during a Dell Black Friday sale. I loved the laptop until I started having issues with the touchpad after 3 days. I contacted Dell and they offered to send a replacement but (due to their 30 day return policy from date of purchase policy) I declined because I was worried that the problem would be present on the replacement laptop and I would be stuck with it. Instead, I purchased a Lenovo Ideapad 5 pro and the performance of the two laptops has been similar (no gaming, just video/photo editing). Of note, both laptops have terrible downward firing speakers with the Lenovo coming out slightly ahead of the Dell. I would love to see a side-by-side review of these laptops since they really are the transition between cheap and premium laptops.

[@bhagyeshtelang6170]

How much did you buy it for?

[@IMAN7THRYLOS]

Inspiron is a product line from Dell that was internally sabotaged to not be as good, so that it can't compete against their XPS. My 2016 Dell Inspiron had amazing specs at a killer price 5 years ago. i7-16GB-GTX 960- 4GB - 4K touch screen :-0, $1500 price tag. Then DELL in the following years started making them less and less good, because they wanted to promote their XPS. For some periods, it wasn't possible to find an Inspiron with a combination of high specs and affordable price.

[@p5rsona]

I got the 3060 version for $1670 CAD which is amazing. Only minor downside is theres bit of backlight bleed lower corner but can only see when pitch black. It's an amazing machine and I can game extremely well on it.

[@Jollyroger84103]

$1,500 for an 11800 and a 3050 does not seem like good value.

[@G-flo]

agreed. there are far better value options compared to this hot garbage.

[@electricqyt5731]

I’d rather pay $780 for 1TB of SSD and 16gb of RAM for the original one than pay double the money just for nvidia graphics. I’d rather buy the original Dell Inspiron 16 with the latest Intel and all that

[@ivanharitsmuzhaffar1126]

The closest competition for this inspiron 16 plus is probably the new lenovo idepad slim 5/5i pro. The ideapad does rock a full powered ryzen 7 mobile (5800h), but i believe the intel model equipped with the H35 ones.....ideapad also has the new 16" 2.5K 16:10 and 120Hz display, the GPU options are also stacked up with the inspiron (1650 and 3050 mobile max-q), and its also around the same price.

[@aseannessienot]

I have the ideapad s740 15 with 1650 max-q, it can only hit 2.0Ghz running forza. Curious to see whether they improved the thermals

[@TDRN1]

I recently bought an lenovo ideapad 5 pro (16ACH6) for like 800€ and its far superior in terms of anything but the gpu since its only running a 1650, but its not ment for gaming anyway

[@mcslender2965]

The Inspiron supports up to the RTX 3060 though so you can get more oomph with Dell

[@mini9503]

Few other laptops similar to Dell Inspiron 16: - *Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16* - up to 3050, starts at 900$ - *Lenovo ThinkBook 16p* - has 3060 for 1200$, basically upgraded Ideapad 5 Pro 16 - *HP Envy 15* - 3050/3060, has touchscreens and no numpad, starts at 1300$ - *Asus VivoBook Pro 15/16X* - 3050/3050Ti, has the best screens (500nit 120Hz or new Gen 3 OLED), starts at 1000$ - *Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro 16* - TBA soon, premium version of the Ideapad 5 lineup Personally I prefer the HP because of the centered keyboard layout. All of them are different yet very similar so there is something for everyone in this "budget multimedia" category of laptops. What matters is you don't have to spend hefty amount for XPS or MBP to buy a performance productivity laptop.

Lenovo ThinkBook 16p is the direct competitor. I know because I'm stuck deciding between the two. Ideapad 5 Pro 16 is also another one.

[@maximtrofimov1799]

At the end which one you choose? I am also deciding between Dell Inspiron 16 plus, Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16, as well maybe Asus Vivobook Pro 16X (but asus was release recently and currently not available).

[@jvm-tv]

@@maximtrofimov1799 haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'm tilting towards ThinkBook 16p only because of the 180 degrees hinge that I really want otherwise I think Inspiron is the best value laptop in this class. Ideapad apparently has noisy fans. The ram is also soldered. That's why I stayed away.

[@marksalamon619]

Thanks for your excellent review. Perhaps the most direct competition for the Inspiron 16 Plus would be the Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16" which comes equipped with either Intel or [higher powered] AMD processors. The Lenovo laptop has a similar 16:10 aspect ratio display rated at 350 nits and 100% sRGB, though with a slightly lower screen resolution of 2560 x 1600. The Ideapad 5 Pro models range in price from about $910 to $1020 and they actually might be an even better all-around value than the Inspiron 16 Plus. At the moment Lenovo may be experiencing some difficulty keeping these particular laptop versions in stock, but they do seem to be available at the Microsoft store.

[@pacingBlue]

I was searching the comments for this. Two VERY interesting all-around laptops. I just got the Lenovo but I consider returning it for the Dell. At the same price: Lenovo 120Hz -350 nits screen, but has soldered RAM (!!!) and wi-fi module issues (can be replaced), and can get quite hot. Dell has the 3050 dGPU, upgradable RAM and nicer keyboard (IMHO), but has touchpad issues, poor screen response time, and is heavier ..

Love the review. Covers the key performance characteristics that I really want to know. Would love to see a review on the updated Inspiron 16 Plus 7030 with the RTX 4060.

From what I can see, they have also included a more robust cooling system with noticeably larger vents in the new 7030.

I think the base model or the top model with the 3060 are the ones to go for, depending on your needs. This middle ranking model falls between two stools. Depending on spec level, nearest competition in Windows laptops is probably Lenovo's Yoga Slim 7 Pro 16 or the MSi M16.

[@Kohiku]

I would say a Zephyrus g14 could compete with the Inspiron 16. Got my zephyrus g14 2020 a couple months back with gtx1660ti 6gb for only $1200. The latest 2021 g14 with rtx 3050 could run you up the same spec with the Inspiron 16 at roughly the same price point $1400. Could be be worth looking into if anyone's interested. Do take note the screen's form factor is only 14 inches.

The typing experience, screen, battery life, build quality and performance is better than everything except for the new 16" that cost 2.5 times more. I think you guys did a long term review a few months ago on the Air... to me that's the still king for most people.

The Dell laptop here shows while not great…. It’s still a bit of a “Jack of all trades” as it can be used for home/office use, btw the webcam is ok imo 👍☺️ As well as use for light gaming on many titles (lower settings generally) and the fast charge is great for students while the colour accuracy of the panel can be used for photo / video work as well 👍🥳.

This laptop i7 11800h rtx 3050 16gb ram 512gb was 1017$ few months ago and waiting for the same deal to buy it

Everything is awesome put the touchpad issue is a disaster on this. The first one I got, I sent back and got another one. The replacement also had the issue. (BTW - also it happens while in the BIOS so its not drivers) A Dell tech came out and replaced the touchpad on my 2nd laptop and maybe 2 months later the touchpad has problems again. I see a video about grounding the touchpad. I think I might try that. They recommend soldering it but that would void my warranty so I will try something else.

I'm going to disagree with your assessment of the intended market for the Dell. You say this tries to do a bit of everything, while i believe the actual "middle-point" laptop would be something like the Acer Swift X. The extra investment in sceen resolution and the addition of powerful graphics, along with the lack of a high refresh rate screen, make it a designer or content creator laptop IMO. A truly average user would likely invest in better build quality, or a premium design.

Just tried this laptop yesterday. Quality is not there. Trackpad is loose, keyboard is cheap. 3k res not needed for this size of display. I'll send it back. Disappointed.

[@andrejmarsetic]

For that price I think that thinkbook 16p is better deal. You get much brighter display with dolby vision + you get nvidia 3060 and much better cooling.

Thank you for this review. I was really curious to hear your opinion on this laptop. Keep up the good work!

I got the 3060 model. The 3060 model has a 3 fan configuration as compared to the 2 fan in the 3050, getting better thermals. I also upgraded to 32Gb dual rank DIMM's overall its great for gaming too.

Did you face any touchpad issues so far ?

[@dhruvpratapsingh6724]

Please reply , are you facing some issues with touchpad or any other stuff?

[@clansome]

@@dhruvpratapsingh6724 They were fixed in bios update 1.2.1 I believe.

[@TheBigRano]

@@RanaAhmedNaazer I can confirm after 6 months I faced the trackpad issue. It's a hardware fault that can't be fixed with a bios update. Dell tried repairing mine and have ended up replacing the laptop completely now.

[@FVBmovies]

@@TheBigRano Sounds like Dell alright.

Thanks for your great review. Which docking station do you recommend for this system (preferably, something that could be used with the Thunderbolt 4 port)? I have two monitors with (only) HDMI ports, and I need something that charges the laptop as well.

[@mortadhamohammed8549]

I think you should review lenovo yoga slim 7 pro 16 6 gen. It is almost in the same price range.

crazy good review

[@andresorlandorodriguezruiz1937]

Dude very good video, however if you want to hear my advice coming from the industry. Inspiron match should be pavilion , Ideapad and all the home line. Remember that you can have computers for business as Latitude , Thinkpad, Hp 440,640 , etc Or gaming low budget Inspiron G5 vs any low budget But Inspiron is made for home , comparing it even similar against a legion, omen, strix and razer is very unfair. The quality of those computers are higher. Try to match it accordly

[@Real_British]

What about the XPS then? What shouuldd be compared to?

[@Manulajes]

Ideapad 5 Pro 16?

[@fitnesspoint2006]

looks like the Dell sd card slot is using the USB bus instead of the PCIe bus, I noticed Lenovo uses PCIe bus for SD cards and I can get 82 MB/s + vs. 20 MB/s

[@bl1mey932]

Lenovo thinkbook 16p gen 2 is a good option

[@AnimeLover-nz1hc]

The only thing bad is 60 hz, then it is perfect

[@ronalddfernandez]

Hi bro, thanks for the review. Choosing between this and the lg gram 17. Any reco? Thanks!

[@pacingBlue]

Very interesting. I wonder how it compares to Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16".
