Let me ask you a question. When buying a new laptop, what feature is most important to you? I bet most people would answer the screen, and that’s a good choice!
If you’re going to spend hours in front of a screen working, you should opt for something pleasant to watch, right?
So let me introduce you to the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7630 All-in-One Laptop. A portable PC capable of handling various workloads, from document typing to graphic designing. And even playing video games. Before we get into it, I’d like to first talk about the screen, as it’s by far the aspect that really grabs the most attention.
Real work on the edges
Its size is therefore 16” and its resolution is 2.5K (2560 x 1600 pixels). The glass is covered with an anti-reflective coating which allows the laptop to be used in bright environments without problems. It also displays a promising refresh rate of 120 Hz. And in fact, this rate is so good that you will no longer know the meaning of the word “lag”.
I have to say that I have tested a number of large screen laptops in the past. And yet, the Inspiron 16 Plus 7630 feels smaller than its 16-inch size would suggest. It took me a while to realize this, and then I understood why. The Inspiron 16 Plus’s screen features ultra-thin bezels.
If you don’t know, bezels are the boundary between the screen and the frame of any device with a screen, whether it’s a smartphone or a computer. The thick edges are put in place to protect the glass, but this protection comes at the expense of size. And thanks to its thin bezels, the Inspiron 16 Plus takes full advantage of the space allocated to it. Consequence: the screen is wonderfully large.
An effort on the graphics card
Of course, nothing beats using an external monitor (the laptop has HDMI and DisplayPort inputs on the sides), but having plenty of space when on the move is a good thing.

Beyond the screen, the Inspiron 16 Plus is a versatile laptop because of its configuration. It must be said that there is not much to customize on this machine. But fortunately, what we have by default is pretty good.
Under the hood is a 13th generation Intel i7-13700H processor with a clock speed of 5Ghz allowing for above-average performance. Instead of pairing the processor with an Intel Iris However, these graphics cards also have their place in a professional laptop.

Work also on ventilation
Graphic designers and video editors, in particular, can use the power of hardware for their creative work. According to Nvidia, GeForce RTX 4060 cards allow developers to “build and edit 3D models in real time, up to 45% faster than the previous generation.”
And after a long day at work, you can switch to gaming on the Inspiron 16 Plus without experiencing a performance drop. I really like the versatility of Dell’s latest model; it switches between workloads seamlessly while maintaining good performance.
A little touch that I really liked on the Inspiron 16 is also the way it opens. If you extend the cover to its maximum viewing angle, the back of the computer will lift slightly from the table. This achieves two things. On the one hand, it positions the keyboard at an angle that allows you to type more comfortably. Secondly, it provides good better ventilation. This is a small design detail that I would like to see implemented by more manufacturers.
ZDNet’s purchasing advice for the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7630
This is a very good all-around laptop, but it doesn’t over-perform anywhere. In short: it performs well in different scenarios, but there are certainly better laptops specialized for this or that specific use. If you want a computer designed specifically for content creation or video editing, a MacBook Pro or 2-in-1 laptop equipped with a stylus for drawing would be a better fit for you.
If you don’t want a specialty laptop and prefer a machine that can handle work, school, and play with aplomb, grab this Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7630. I highly recommend it. Plus, it’s pretty cheap. There aren’t many hardware requirements, as we’ve already mentioned. The model with 12 GB of RAM is sold at €1,500. Regardless of the configuration chosen, 1 TB of storage is included.
If your budget allows it, opt for models with 32 GB of RAM. You will definitely appreciate the extra performance.
