I tested Dell's XPS successor, and it beat my $3,000 Windows laptop in almost every way


Dell's Premium 16 carries the XPS legacy forward, pairing high-end internals with a gorgeous 4K touch display in a refined, modern design.

If you're a numbers person, below is a table comparing benchmarking results from the Dell Premium 16 to two other contemporaries: the Alienware 18 Area 51m and the HP EliteBook Ultra G1i. The cooling system on board this machine isn't as robust as one you'll find on a gaming laptop, and operating under high temperatures for an extended period of time can lead to long-term damage. That said, the games I tested all ran fine on Dell's machine, although I noticed graphical glitches and dropped frame rates while playing "Monster Hunter Wilds" and "Cyberpunk 2077".
