"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."
"Contrary to what you may see, the Dell 16 Premium does have a trackpad at the bottom. It is a glass trackpad that blends seamlessly with the rest of the computer. You can't see it, but you can feel the haptic feedback. In the image below, I have highlighted where the trackpad is located. You'll notice that it takes up a significant portion of the wrist rest."
The Dell 16 Premium is a follow-up to the Dell XPS 16 that retains a similar design while adding targeted upgrades. The zero-lattice keyboard returns, stretching nearly edge to edge, with springy keys that deliver a fast yet comfortable typing experience. An LED capacitive touch panel houses Function and Media keys, and the glass Function keys lack physical feedback but are generally acceptable. A large glass trackpad blends into the palm rest and provides haptic feedback despite being visually indistinct. The Premium unit is slightly lighter, improving portability, though several previous issues persist.
