The Dell 16 Plus Laptop with Core Ultra 7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD is down to $799.99 right now, which is a $470 discount. For what you are getting inside, that price is pretty strong. You are looking at an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V chip, which is one of the newer processors with an NPU built in, so it is built to handle AI tools and heavy multitasking without feeling slow. Paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, you should be fine running a bunch of browser tabs, Office apps, video calls, and even light content work all at once. The 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD gives you a lot of fast storage, so you do not have to think about an upgrade right away if you keep a big photo library, download games, or store work files locally.
The 16-inch 2.5K IPS screen is one of the big reasons to look at this system. The higher resolution than standard 1080p makes text look sharper and gives you more room for windows, which helps a lot if you work in spreadsheets, timelines, or side-by-side documents. The panel is non-touch, anti-glare, and rated at 300 nits, so it should handle bright rooms and office lighting without turning into a mirror. ComfortView Plus aims to cut down on blue light without making everything look yellow, which can help if you stare at the screen for long stretches. Intel Arc graphics are not made for top-end gaming, but they are fine for casual games, streaming, and light creative work like photo edits or basic video cuts.
You also get some quality-of-life stuff that makes day-to-day use easier. The keyboard is backlit, has a numeric pad, and includes a Copilot key, so you can jump straight into Windows AI tools if you want. The precision touchpad should feel smoother and more accurate than older touchpads you might be used to. The 1080p webcam with dual mics is a step up from the usual grainy 720p cameras, which helps if you are on video calls a lot. Dual speakers with Waves MaxxAudio and Dolby Atmos Cores won’t replace real speakers, but they are decent for movies, calls, and background music. The fingerprint reader in the power button is handy for quick logins without typing a password every time.
For ports and connectivity, this laptop is set up well. You get a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort 1.4 and power delivery, a Thunderbolt 4 port with DisplayPort 2.1 and power delivery, HDMI 2.1, and a combo audio jack. That means you can plug in multiple monitors, fast drives, and docks without hunting for adapters. Wi-Fi 7 support helps you take advantage of newer routers with better speeds and more stable links, and Bluetooth is there for wireless headphones and mice. The chassis uses aluminum for the lid and base with plastic on the bezel and palm rest in an Ice Blue color, so it has a cleaner look than most plain black laptops. At about 4.12 pounds and under 0.7 inches thick, it is not a featherweight, but it is reasonable to carry in a backpack. You also get a 64WHr battery, 65W USB-C charger, a year of basic onsite hardware support after remote diagnosis, plus 30-day trials of Microsoft 365 and McAfee+. If you want a big, sharp screen, strong current-gen CPU, plenty of RAM and storage, and modern ports for under $800, this deal is worth a serious look.
