Dell 16 Plus Laptop DB16250-16.0-inch 16:10 2.5K (2560x1600) Display, Intel Core Ultra 9 288V, 32GB LPDDR5X Memory, 2TB SSD, Intel Arc Graphics, Backlit Copilot Key Keyboard - Previously InspironEPEAT

Not what I wanted. I made the mistake. I ordered this computer under the new Dell's renaming plan. I wanted the renamed Latitude, not the renamed Inspiron which this computer is, and the seller CLEARLY titled it as such. The Latitude has more ports than the Inspiron. Again, MY BAD. Why... Why me. After looking and looking and then making this mistake...GRRRR. Anyways, what a fantastic computer!! I purchased my previous computer around ~2008, so yes, I am impressed with the newest and latest. I chose the upgraded components such as the Ultra 9, 32GB the high-end LPDDR5X (I'm talking about a max of 8,533Mbps, OMG), 2TB SSD... Logi M650L mouse. This combo is so fast, I mean so fast, I can't even keep up. Just a blink of an eye and my photography program(s) run, and the task is finished.The backlit keyboard keeps turning off and turns back on with a touch of any key. I'll have to find the way to disable this in that I want to see the keyboard when I initially place my fingers. After that, it can turn off as I know where the symbols are.Very easy and actually very quick setup. I chose to use a thumb drive to bring my programs and data over. Recognized my printer very quickly. My home webpage already saved my 'favorites', so no problems there.Speaker is sufficient in that I do not have to turn it up to 100, just to barely hear it. Usually, 50-55 suffices with this computer. I can actually hear the stereo separation. Even with the audio/video players equalizer, it still plays music flat. Absolutely no bass. Yes, I know this isn't a home 5,000w speaker system, but this is 2025. I would expect a laptop to sound like a mini stereo system with, I don't know, BASS... or at least better than the cheapest cellphone. Come-on.USB ports... As stated before, I wanted the Latitude with more ports. This one has only one USB. My mouse takes that one. That's it. No more ports. Hmm, 2025 says at least 2 ports standard?? It has 2 USB-C ports. One is occupied for power, although I believe it can be used if running off of battery.This computer gets slightly; I mean very, very, VERY slightly warm on the bottom of the left side. Hardly even noticeable unless you are actually looking for it. The fan is also very quiet. I do not notice it unless I'm looking for the noise, slightly turning my head or it speeds up Still very quiet. Other than that, I can't hear it with the awesome, no bass music playing.Screen is crystal clear and is advertised as "Low Blue Light (Hardware Solution)". Yeah, don't ask me. It seems to work.I love this computer...BUT, as stated previously, I wanted the Latitude. Meh, I'll have to use my USB adapter.Only one con I see. When turning on the computer, everything loads up fast to include connecting to the internet. However, the computer is slow to allow the home webpage to connect to the internet. I don't know why. I click the internet icon and shows it, in of itself, will not connect for a good minute, although the computer itself indicates it is connected to the Wi-Fi network. Could be my non-McAfee internet security checking things out first or could be this newest and latest Wi-Fi7 but who knows. Just a minor inconvenience.Lesson learned. Take your time and know which model you are purchasing.

I believe this is the best deal I got. I was asked to image new machines of Dell Pro14250 and found the design is quite nice and it runs pretty smooth, cool and no noise. I felt it would be suitable for my son who just started his college this fall. I asked our purchaser about the price. She said it was below $1000 for education purchase and I could not get it at that price. I was so happy to get it here for an i7, while the one I worked on is an i5.

I have regretted this purchase since the very first day. This laptop has been plagued with issues from the start:A stuck key problem that makes typing frustrating and unreliable.The monitor brightness is locked, meaning I can’t adjust it properly for work or comfort.The battery has already degraded to 25% capacity after only two months of use—completely unacceptable for something that was supposed to be new.It constantly freezes and requires a hard reboot, sometimes multiple times a day.This has been the most disappointing computer I’ve ever owned. For the price, I expected reliability, but instead I got daily headaches and a machine that feels broken straight out of the box. I would not recommend this laptop to anyone. Save yourself the money and stress—buy something else.

Purchased after my college laptop finally died. I’ve only had it a few weeks, but it’s been great for my needs (occasional CAD, light gaming, office/web browsing). Its fast, ARC graphics works well with games I’ve played so far and CAD utilized (Solid Edge 2025). Windows 11 is great and easy to use with a quick setup. A very decent platform for the money.

The device is great, good quality, excellent performance. I would buy another one.

Got the 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD with the Intel Ultra 7.For the price, this laptop is amazing.The only issue is that the keyboard overheats on any surface.Aside from that, highly recommended.

Super Simple to start up and port over from another PC

Had to return it. I bought this laptop for online classes I’m taking this new school year and the speakers blew out a week into the semester. Dell wanted to repair them for me. But I don’t want a repaired computer. I want a new computer that works - that’s what I’m paying for. I asked them to just replace it and they said that they wouldn’t. Thankfully Amazon agreed to authorize a return. Back to the drawing board, trying to find a new laptop.
