Dell is hosting a Black Friday in July sales event, during which many laptops, desktops, monitors, and other computing devices and accessories are available at significant discounts. One in particular caught my eye. For a limited time, the Dell 16 Plus is on sale for $900, a sizable $400 price drop. This version of the 16 Plus comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, 32GB of memory, a 1TB SSD, and a 16-inch 2.5K display.

If you're looking for an even less expensive device, there's another configuration retailing for $750. It houses an Intel Core Ultra 7 2586, 16GB of memory, a 1TB SSD, and a 16-inch 2.5K display. Other customization options are available, such as a 2TB SSD and a Full HD touchscreen. However, be aware that not all of the builds are discounted. Some are only available for purchase at full price.
The Dell 16 Plus is essentially a bigger version of the Dell 14 Plus, a laptop I reviewed back in May and that also won a ZDNET Editors' Choice award. So, although I've never used this device, my experience with the smaller model tells me that it is a great machine.
Its hardware should deliver an impeccable performance, capable of handling heavy workloads and surfing the internet without slowdown. Those chiclet-shaped keys ensure a comfortable typing experience. Similar to its compact sibling, the Dell 16 Plus is made primarily of aluminum, allowing it to survive the rigors of the road.
