Dell's XPS 16 brings the XPS lineup into the 21st century and takes over from its excellent predecessor. The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is a potent challenger.
Dell ’s XPS 15 had long been on our list of the best 15-inch laptops, and for good reason. It was fast, thin and light, and extremely well built. Dell changed things up with its successor, the XPS 16 , which incorporated a larger display and several ultramodern features. But when compared to a new crop of 16-inch laptops, it hasn’t been quite as much of a standout.
When configured identically with the Lenovo’s high-end model, the XPS 16 costs around $700 more. As we’ll see, the Yoga Pro 9i 16 provides better performance for considerably less money. Both laptops are built extremely well, with all-aluminum chassis and lids. The Yoga Pro 9i 16 is slightly larger even with a smaller display due to the XPS 16’s much thinner display bezels that also contribute to the more modern appearance. The two laptops are close enough in thickness and weight.
However, Dell limits the XPS 16’s total power to 80 watts, which must be split between the CPU and the GPU. The Yoga Pro 9i 16 gets 130 watts total, which gives its CPU and GPU a lot more power. That showed up in our benchmarks, where the Yoga was significantly faster. Most important, the Yoga was faster in the PugetBench Premiere Pro benchmark that runs in a live version of Adobe’s Premiere Pro. It was also faster in games, often by a considerable margin.
