I own a 14-inch laptop, and I'm often craving more screen real estate. When I'm working on a large document, doing some photo editing, or multitasking, I know a couple of extra inches would make all the difference. That's why I'm tempted by the Dell 16 Plus, which is on sale at Dell for $899.99 (was $1,429.99).

That's a whopping $530 saving on a powerful laptop for college students and business users. This is for the spec with an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. You might be tempted to get an even better deal by reducing the capacity of the SSD, but that will, in fact, increase the price.

So, if you want a solid mid-tier laptop that we rated an impressive four stars in our review, then this deal is worthy of consideration.

It's difficult to believe that Dell has slashed the price of the highly rated Dell 16 Plus laptop by $530. This is not a deal you see every day. If you or your child is off to college this September, then get ahead of the curve with this outstanding deal. Or if you need a high-performing Dell laptop for business use, then this device represents an absolute bargain.

When we reviewed the Dell 16 Plus, we gave it a solid four stars and called it "a trustworthy mid-range [laptop] that’s light, runs well and has fine battery life". This laptop is one of many Dell laptops that we rate highly, as you read about in our 4.5-star rated reviews of the XPS 13, XPS 14, and Dell 14 Plus.

As already mentioned, this Dell 16 Plus boasts an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU and 16GB of DDR5 RAM. This is more than enough power for most users, even if you find yourself multitasking and using power-hungry applications. You'll also get a large 1TB SSD for storing all your files locally and an impressive battery life of up to 20 hours.

A deal like this doesn't come along every day, but it won't fit the bill for everyone. If that's the case, head over to our best laptops and best cheap laptops guides. It's also worth checking out ourbest laptop deals page for the latest discounts.
