Dell Inspiron 16 Plus (7610)

I’m not sure what a collective noun of Dell XPS laptops is – a luxury? – but the Inspiron 16 Plus breaks away from this month’s pack to focus on value. And in terms of spec, it’s hard to criticise. Yes, it’s an 11th gen Intel Core processor rather than 12th gen, but you also get RTX 3050 graphics, 16GB of memory, a 512GB SSD and a 3K 16in display. Quite a haul for £999.

For most people, the eight cores of the Core benchmarks. An equivalent laptop with a Core i7-12700H – such as the identically priced Huawei MateBook D 16 () – will return around 11,000, 12,000 and 340 in those tests, but the Inspiron is one nippy machine.
