Our take on the Dell DC16251 16" FHD+ Touch Laptop

The Dell DC16251 is a 16-inch laptop with an FHD+ touchscreen, a Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. The large touch display and generous memory make it comfortable for multitasking, photo work and everyday productivity. Against thinner 14-inch rivals it trades portability for screen space and a full-size keyboard layout. It suits people who want one machine for work, study and light creative tasks rather than a gaming or ultraportable laptop.

Cons

Questions and answers

Is the Core i7 and 16GB RAM enough for heavy multitasking?

Yes. A Core i7 with 16GB of RAM comfortably runs many browser tabs, Office apps and light photo editing at once. Very heavy video editing or 3D rendering will feel slow because the graphics are integrated.

Is the 16-inch screen good for everyday use?

The FHD+ touchscreen gives plenty of space for documents and split windows, and touch makes scrolling and note-taking easier. Text is less crisp than on higher-resolution panels at this size.

Can I carry it to class or on commutes?

It is a large 16-inch laptop, so it is better suited to a desk or a bag with a padded sleeve than to daily carry in a small backpack. Expect it to feel heavier than a 13- or 14-inch model.

Does the 1TB SSD make a difference?

Yes. A 1TB SSD leaves room for a large photo and video library plus apps, and solid-state storage keeps startup and file transfers fast. It is more storage than most 512GB rivals offer.

Can it run games?

Only light or older titles at reduced settings. The integrated graphics are built for everyday work, not modern 3D games, so a laptop with a dedicated GPU is the better choice for gaming.

What comes in the box?

The laptop and its power adapter are the standard contents. A stylus is not included, and touch input works with a finger.
