Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 review: Technically proficient but lacking soul

It's got a solid design, good performance and above-average battery life, but where's the personality?

While I still think Dell’s choice to ditch the iconic XPS tag is a mistake, streamlining its portfolio makes a lot of sense, especially for people simply looking to buy a new laptop. Port selection is good, but not outstanding, with two USB-C sockets (one supports Thunderbolt 4 while the other handles DisplayPort 1.4), one USB-A, a HDMI 2.1 slot and a 3.5mm audio jack. Performance is solid and battery life is slightly better than average for its class, while Dell's optional mini LED display provides a great viewing experience.
