And here’s how the laptop compares in this test to other similar models and platforms, including the previous Inspiron 15 Ryzen 7 5700U model.

Even the most cursory glance at the spec sheet is enough to inform that this new Inspiron is a potent machine. Powered by an 11th generation Intel Core i7-11800H octa-core chip with 16GB of 3,200MHz DDR4 dual-channel RAM a discrete RTX-series Nvidia GPU, it should be able to turn its hand to most tasks without getting bogged down. I took a series of battery life tests with the brightness at 30%, which is about 78 nits. Here were my results: A single fan takes up a large portion of the right side of the laptop and is connected to the CPU via two heat pipes. The air intake is taken in from underneath the laptop and the exhaust comes out at the hinge. Additionally, there’s ample IO which just isn’t available on the XPS models ( here’s our review of the latest Dell XPS 15 model). That’s something to consider other than cost, if you’re torn between those two models for some reason. Terms Apply. Promotion ends 3 December 2023. Items are subject to availability.

The IO is pretty good on this laptop. There’s a standard power barrel adapter on the left, with an HDMI 2.1 port right next to it. There’s a single USB-A port followed by a USB-C port. Both of these support USB 3.2 and the USB-C also supports DisplayPort and PD 3.0. As for the speakers, they’re actually not bad! Not only are they upward-facing, but they also get pretty loud, reaching 78dB(A) with my typical test song. I also ran a bass test and was able to hear sound as low as 30Hz. That’s really low considering there’s no sub! Disconnect all devices including the keyboard, mouse, and external monitor. Peripherals also include external storage devices such as flash drives, USB devices, printers, cards so forth At 301 nits of brightness, the Inspiron 16 is rather bright for its price, but still can’t match the premium average of 391 nits. Meanwhile, the MSI Katana GF66 is dim as hell, at 247 nits, as the Surface Laptop Studio soars to the other extreme at 487 nits. Dell Inspiron 16 Plus keyboard and touchpad

All the Kingston memory cards we list against your Dell Inspiron 16 (5625) Laptop are the recommended speed for your Dell Inspiron 16 (5625) Laptop. If you need a memory card for 4K video use the filters on the left to filter out a card with the Class 3 (U3) rating as you will need a Kingston card with minimum write speed of 30MB/s to capture full 4K video. If you need a Kingston card for HD video recording, then simply select a card with a Class 10 rating. You can also use the filters on the left to filter out higher write speeds such as . The higher the number the faster the Kingston memory card will write data to your card to reduce buffering on your Dell Inspiron 16 (5625) Laptop which means you will capture seamless video. Insert the AC into the computer and a good electrical outlet (not on a surge protector or power strip). For example: For a No Memory Detected Error (2,3). The battery LED blinks 2 times with an Amber color, followed by a pause and then blinks 3 times with a White color. The battery LED will pause for 3 s before the next cycle repeats itself again. Each LED blink takes 0.5 s.I did take some benchmarks with a few older games to give you an idea of what to expect, on the Ultra Performance profile. See below for my results: The display also has TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light Hardware certification that claims to reduce harmful blue light emissions to optimise eye comfort over extended viewing periods. Disconnect all devices including the keyboard, mouse, and external monitor. Peripherals also include external storage devices such as flash drives, USB devices, printers, cards, so forth
