On the Geekbench 5.4 overall performance test, the Inspiron 16 scored 8,031, soaring above the premium laptop average (5,050). It juggled 40 Google Chrome tabs and five 1080p YouTube videos without an issue. Packed within the Dell Inspiron 16’s thin chassis lies an Intel Core i7-11800H processor with 16GB of RAM. However, software alone can’t fix bad audio. There’s also some presets, like Rock, Hip-Hop and Pop. The laptop comes with the MaxxAudioPro app, which lets you configure the audio from the bass, details and width to a full blown EQ. The speakers lacked the depth to capture the instruments together, so instead, the song was generally noisy. The percussion was especially hard to hear, as the speakers didn’t have enough bass to emphasise them. The vocals were a little too sharp and overshadowed the rest of the instruments during the track. I listened to Lil Nas X’s “Industry Baby,” and the opening horns sounded brassy. The Dell Inspiron 16’s bottom-firing speakers are loud but congested and shallow. A deep, bassy click is preferable and typically requires less force to achieve. Pressing down, I was greeted with a shallow, sharp click. The texture is smooth, but I don’t like the clickers that accompany it.
The touchpad is large, almost reminiscent of a MacBook’s Force trackpad. I made plenty of mistakes due to the unique spacing of the keys. I got 73 words per minute on the typing test, which is a bit under my current 78-wpm average. I just wish they were a little more pronounced. However, the keys themselves are a bit punchy. The deck flexes when I type and the keys are too tightly packed. I’m not a fan of the Dell Inspiron 16’s keyboard.

With that said, the Katana GF66 hit a low of 43.9% while the Surface Laptop Studio got 75.8%.Īt 301 nits of brightness, the Inspiron 16 is rather bright for its price, but still can’t match the premium average of 391 nits. Keep in mind that this category features laptops with price tags above $2,000 and $3,000. However, the display was more than sharp enough to capture those luscious strands of hair on Tom Holland’s head.Īccording to our colorimeter, the Inspiron 16’s screen covered 67.9% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which is short of the 83.6% premium laptop average. When Drake was ejected from a plane to recreate the famous Uncharted 3 sequence, the ocean below was a crispy blue that almost popped on screen. I watched the trailer for the Uncharted film, and the screen was bright enough to capture Sully’s weird art decor in the dimly lit condo while he and a baby-faced Nathan Drake talked about going on their first treasure hunting adventure.
