If you prioritize a larger screen, a budget-friendly option, and a number pad on the keyboard for ease of data entry, the Dell Inspiron 16 5620 may suit you well; however, it falls short in battery life and is heavier, affecting portability. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 14 costs more but offers a more powerful processor and graphics, better suited for gaming or demanding tasks like 3D rendering and machine learning; it also provides a higher-quality display and longer battery life, all packaged in a sleeker, more portable frame. The tradeoff comes down to how much you value performance and portability over a lower cost and a larger screen. Give Feedback

Brett Venter | January 2023
"If the world is exciting enough right now, you can do far worse than a solid performer that you know will get the job done. Our review model is as powerful as you'd want an office machine to be unless you're performing specialist tasks and the price point is pretty attractive (unless work will let you have a MacBook Air instead)."

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"After making a huge splash with the original 2021 model, it's expected that the 2022 refresh would be more of a minor update to an already impressive machine. It adds a higher resolution webcam (720p to 1080p), faster CPU (Ryzen 9 5900HX to Ryzen 9 6900HX), faster GPU (RTX 3070/3080 to 3070/3080 Ti), faster RAM (DDR4-3200 to DDR5-4800), faster M.2 SSD support (PCIe3 x4 to PCIe4 x4), newer WLAN module (Killer AX1690i to Qualcomm WCN685x), and a MUX switch for the new integrated Radeon 680M GPU. It's indubitably an upgrade especially in terms of single-thread processor performance."
