Background

The Inspiron family is probably Dell's most extensive family of consumer PCs. It consists of the budget 3000 series up to the higher-end 7000 series in all screen sizes from 13 to 17 inches. The latest Inspiron 16 is known for being the first 16-inch model in the family equipped with certain features not found on other models, as announced in April 2021. A powerful, reasonably priced big-screen laptop, the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus or Dell Inspiron 16-7610 is capable of rendering graphics-intensive games at 1080p. The Dell Inspiron occupies a small slice of the market between Dell's premium large notebooks (like the XPS 17) and lower models (like the Inspiron 5000 series). So far, the Inspiron 16 Plus starts at $940.79- $1,352.39. Our test unit is a higher-end configuration of the Inspiron 16 7610 with the 11th gen Intel Core i7-11800H CPU and GeForce RTX 3050 graphics for approximately $1,150.00. Other SKUs are available with the lesser Core i5-11400H or integrated UHD Graphics instead, but all options come with the same 16.0-inch 16:10 3K display and dark green chassis color. The system is marketed as a Nvidia Studio machine for content creation to contrast the gaming-centric G or prosumer XPS series.

Identification

The Dell Inspiron 16-7610 or Dell Inspiron 16 Plus distinguishes itself from other laptops by it's dark blue/green case and 16 inch screen size. It has a thin aluminum body with the Dell logo in a circle on the top case. This model also comes with a camera shutter for privacy. The model number and other details are printed in dark gray or black on the back center of the device.
