Our take on the Dell Inspiron 16 16" 2.5K WQXGA Touchscreen 2-in-1 Laptop

The Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 is a 16-inch convertible laptop with a 2.5K WQXGA touchscreen and an Intel Core i7 processor. The 360-degree hinge lets it flip into tablet or tent mode for drawing, streaming and presenting. It suits people who want one machine for work and entertainment and prefer a bigger screen over a lighter 13- or 14-inch convertible. Against premium convertibles like the HP Spectre x360 16, it trades some build refinement and battery life for a larger display and a roomier keyboard.

Questions and answers

Is the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 good for everyday work?

Yes. The Core i7 and 16-inch 2.5K screen handle browsing, Office work, video calls and streaming comfortably. Heavy gaming or 3D rendering is not its strength because it uses integrated graphics.

Can you use it as a tablet?

The 360-degree hinge folds the screen all the way back into tablet mode. At 16 inches it is large and heavy to hold for long, so tent and stand modes suit it better.

Is the screen good for drawing and note-taking?

The 2.5K WQXGA touchscreen is sharp and gives extra vertical space. Pen support depends on the configuration, so check whether a stylus is included before relying on it for handwriting.

How does it compare with the Inspiron 14 2-in-1?

The 16 gives you a bigger, higher-resolution screen and a roomier keyboard, but it weighs more and lasts less on a charge. The 14 is the better pick if you carry it daily.

What is in the box?

The laptop and its power adapter. A stylus and a sleeve are not standard, so add them separately if you need them.
