"I've been dying to get my hands on the latest , mainly because it is a follow-up to the Dell XPS 16, a laptop that I reviewed back in early 2024 and one of my favorite devices I've tested for ZDNET so far. Although the name may be different, it is a similar computer with key upgrades in all of the right places. However, it shares many of the same issues."
"At a glance, the Dell 16 Premium looks nearly identical to the XPS. The zero-lattice keyboard triumphantly returns, stretching nearly end to end. Each key has a nice springiness to it, providing a fast yet comfortable typing experience. Above that is an LED capacitive touch panel where you'll find the Function and Media keys, a hallmark of the XPS series' design."
The Dell 16 Premium closely follows the XPS 16's design while delivering targeted upgrades. The zero-lattice keyboard returns, stretching nearly end to end, with springy keys that enable fast yet comfortable typing. An LED capacitive touch panel replaces physical Function and Media keys. A glass trackpad blends into the wrist rest and provides haptic feedback across a large surface. The Premium model is lighter at 4.65 pounds versus roughly five pounds for the prior XPS 16, improving portability. Despite upgrades, several of the prior model's issues persist, leaving some limitations unchanged.
