The 16-inch display is good for basic content creation. The 16:10 screen ratio gives you more vertical room to work than a 16:9 display. However, the laptops use Nvidia's Studio drivers and not game-ready drivers. And, while this is meant as a general-purpose laptop or for creators for photo, video and graphics work, it can be used for gaming when configured with the 3050 or 3060 GPUs, too. It can also be charged through its Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port its 130-watt power supply uses a barrel connector. Remarkably, the battery life is also really good considering it has discrete graphics, hitting 10 hours, 11 minutes on our streaming video test. But if you're looking for more processing and graphics performance in something that's not a gaming laptop or as pricey as the other 16-inch options, this Inspiron has that all wrapped up. While the chassis is metal, the lid doesn't have the rigidity of a premium laptop and there's also some flex to the keyboard deck. To be clear, I'm not saying this Inspiron has the same build quality as the MacBook or even Dell's own XPS 15 or 17. (The porthole vents are a nice touch, too.)

HDMI 2.0, Thunderbolt 4.0 USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (x2), SD card reader, combo audio jackĪ full-size SD card is a rarity you get with the Inspiron 16 Plus.
