Dell 16 Plus Laptop: $450 Off Now Only $999.99

The Dell Plus represents a significant improvement over last year's Inspiron model, particularly in build quality. While the Inspiron featured plastic construction, the Plus models upgrade to an aluminum lid and base with only the bezel and palm rest using plastic. At 4.1 pounds, it maintains impressive portability for a 16-inch machine.
The stunning 2.5K Mini-LED touchscreen sets a new standard
This configuration features a 16-inch 2560x1600 Mini-LED touchscreen display. Unlike traditional LCDs, Mini-LED technology uses thousands of tiny LEDs that individually dim, delivering superior contrast without OLED's burn-in risk while achieving higher brightness levels.
Intel's Core Ultra 7 200V delivers powerful efficiency
Intel's Lunar Lake processors excel at balancing performance with energy efficiency. The Ultra 7 258V matches its predecessor's single-core performance while consuming far less power (17W base/27W turbo vs 28W/115W). Though equipped with 8 cores instead of 16, this configuration better suits mobile users by reducing heat, noise, and extending battery life.
Premium specs outperform competitors at this price point
Where most $1,000 laptops offer 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, this model doubles both with 32GB LPDDR5X memory and 1TB SSD. The soldered RAM makes initial configuration crucial. Connectivity includes USB 3.2 Gen 1/2 ports with DisplayPort/Power Delivery and Thunderbolt 4 support.
