The Dell 16 Plus Laptop with Core Ultra 7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD is marked down to $749.99, which means you are saving $520 off the regular price. For what you are getting here, that is a pretty strong deal if you want a big screen, current Intel chip, and a lot of storage without going over a thousand dollars. The Core Ultra 7 256V is one of Intel’s newer chips with an NPU built in, which helps with AI and background tasks, and it can boost up to 4.8 GHz. Paired with 16GB of fast LPDDR5X memory, you can run a bunch of browser tabs, office apps, and light content work without the system feeling slow. If you do any light gaming or creative work, the Intel Arc graphics will handle casual titles and basic photo or video edits, especially at 2.5K resolution if you tweak your settings a bit.
You also get a full 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD, which is a nice jump from the 256GB or 512GB drives you often see at this price. With 1TB, you can store your photos, videos, games, and work files without babysitting your storage all the time. The 16‑inch 2.5K IPS display gives you more room to spread out windows, and the higher resolution looks sharper than a standard 1080p panel. It is non‑touch, but you do get anti‑glare and ComfortView Plus, which helps cut down on eye strain from long days in front of the screen. At about 4.1 pounds and 0.67 inches thick, it is not an ultra light travel machine, but it is pretty reasonable for a 16‑inch aluminum‑top laptop and fine to move between rooms or take in a backpack.
Day‑to‑day use should feel pretty straightforward. Windows 11 Home comes preinstalled, and this is a Copilot+ PC, so you have quick access to Microsoft’s AI tools from the dedicated Copilot key on the backlit keyboard. The keyboard also has a numeric pad, which is handy if you enter a lot of numbers for work or school. You get a precision touchpad, an ice blue chassis with a fingerprint reader in the power button, and a 1080p webcam with dual mics, so video calls on Zoom or Teams will be clear enough without needing a separate camera. The speakers are rated at 5W total and tuned with Waves MaxxAudio and Dolby Atmos Cores, which is fine for streaming shows, YouTube, and casual music listening.
The port selection is solid for a laptop in this range: one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type‑A, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type‑C with DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery, one Thunderbolt 4 port with DisplayPort 2.1 and Power Delivery, HDMI 2.1, and a combo audio jack. That means you can run multiple external monitors, plug in fast storage, and charge over USB‑C from docks or third‑party chargers if you want. Wi‑Fi 7 support helps you get the most from newer routers, with Bluetooth for wireless mice, keyboards, or earbuds. Power comes from a 64WHr integrated battery and a 65W USB‑C charger, which is pretty standard. You also get a year of basic onsite hardware support after remote diagnosis, plus 30‑day trials for Microsoft 365 and McAfee+ Premium. If you want a large‑screen Windows laptop that is ready for school, home office, or general use and you like the idea of a current Intel platform with a lot of storage, this $749.99 price with a $520 discount makes the Dell 16 Plus Laptop with Core Ultra 7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD worth a serious look.
