The Dell XPS 16 is an excellent laptop, albeit with some controversial design elements. But the Apple MacBook Pro 16 won't be taken down easily.
It took a few years, but Dell finally updated the design of its two largest XPS laptops. The XPS 15 gave way to the XPS 14, while the XPS 17 was replaced by the XPS 16 . The latter gained the ultramodern look of the XPS 13 Plus, complete with a glass palm rest, a hidden haptic touchpad, and a row of LED function keys.
Design The MacBook Pro 16 retains the new design introduced in 2021, with straight edges and a rounded yet blocky aesthetic that somehow still manages to come across as exquisite. The Space Gray color scheme was dropped in favor of a gorgeous new Space Black, while the same Silver color is still available. Inside, the MacBook has a traditional black keyboard flanked by large speaker grills to go with a traditional palm rest and separate touchpad.
The MacBook’s Magic Keyboard is perhaps the best available on a laptop today, with large keycaps, a spacious layout, and the snappiest switches around. The XPS 16’s zero-lattice keyboard takes some getting used to, but its switches are also very good — just a step behind Apple’s. Performance We tested the XPS 16 with the 28-watt Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with 16 cores and 22 threads and the RTX 4070. In apps like Adobe’s Premiere Pro that can use a discrete GPU, the XPS 16 will benefit from the faster GPU.
Dell offers two display options with the XPS 16, a 16.3-inch FHD+ IPS display at up to 120Hz and a 4K+ 120Hz OLED panel. The OLED display that we tested offers slightly wider and more accurate colors than Apple’s Mini-LED display with equally deep contrast, but it isn’t nearly as bright. The MacBook’s display puts out 640 nits in SDR and up to 1,600 nits in HDR versus the XPS 16’s 432 nits, so its HDR quality is significantly better.
