The Dell 16 Plus Laptop with Core Ultra 7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD is marked down to $849.99 right now, which is $420 off the regular price. For that money, you get a 16-inch machine with a strong Intel Core Ultra 7 256V chip, 8 cores that can boost up to 4.8 GHz, and a built-in NPU for AI and Copilot tasks in Windows 11 Home. If you are tired of a slow older laptop, this is the kind of upgrade that will make day-to-day stuff like browsing, Zoom calls, Office work, and photo edits feel smooth and quick. The 16GB of LPDDR5X memory is fast and set up on board, which keeps things stable when you have a lot of browser tabs open, a video call running, and maybe a game or streaming app going at the same time.
You also get 1TB of PCIe NVMe SSD storage, which is a lot of space for games, big photo libraries, work files, and videos without needing an external drive right away. The 16-inch 2.5K IPS display is a nice middle ground where text looks sharp and you have plenty of screen real estate for split-screen work, but it is not so high-res that it kills battery life. It has anti-glare and ComfortView Plus, so if you stare at the screen for hours, your eyes will be a bit happier, especially under bright lights. Intel Arc graphics handle general graphics work and light to moderate gaming, plus things like streaming in high quality and casual content creation.
Day-to-day use should feel pretty comfortable. The laptop weighs about 4.12 pounds and is 0.67 inches thick, so it is still easy to move from room to room, toss in a backpack, or take to a coffee shop. The Ice Blue chassis gives it a cleaner look than basic black, and the aluminum on the lid and base adds a bit of stiffness, while the plastic bezel and palmrest keep weight and cost down. You get an English backlit keyboard with a numeric keypad, which is handy if you do any sort of number entry or work in spreadsheets. The precision touchpad and fingerprint reader in the Ice Blue power button make it simple to log in and move around the screen without feeling clunky.
The port selection is pretty good for this price. You get USB 3.2 Gen 1, 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 hook up multiple monitors, fast external drives, and docking gear without hunting for adapters. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth keep you set for newer routers and wireless devices, and the 4-cell 64Wh battery with a 65W Type-C adapter should be enough for a full work or school day if you are not pushing it with heavy gaming. A 1080p webcam with dual mics, dual speakers with Waves MaxxAudio Pro and Dolby Atmos Cores, a 30-day Microsoft 365 trial, a McAfee+ Premium trial, and 12 months of basic onsite hardware support round things out. If you want a bigger-screen laptop that can handle real work and streaming with room to grow, and you like saving more than four hundred bucks off list price, this deal is worth a look.
