Dell XPS 16 (Intel Core Ultra 9, 2026)

The Intel Core Ultra 9 288V with 8 cores boosting up to 5 GHz is Intel's flagship mobile chip, providing ample horsepower for demanding professional tasks. Integrated graphics cover everyday tasks and light creative work, though dedicated gaming is limited. Professional workloads like video editing, 3D rendering, and large dataset processing are a strength of this configuration.

The 16.3-inch OLED display is a highlight of this laptop, offering 3200×2000 resolution at 120Hz, with deep blacks, vivid colors, and excellent contrast that makes content come alive. Additional features include HDR support and touch input, adding versatility for creative and interactive use. Our display score of 81 confirms this is among the better screens in its class.

With 32GB LPDDR5x of memory, this laptop handles intensive multitasking, large browser workloads, and creative applications without breaking a sweat. 1TB NVMe SSD storage strikes a good balance between speed and capacity for most workloads.

At 1.95kg (4.3 lbs), this laptop is reasonably portable. Battery life offers strong all-day endurance (~13hr) backed by a 84Wh cell, keeping you unplugged through long workdays.

Port selection includes Thunderbolt 4, covering most professional and everyday connection needs.
