Dell 16S review: Overshadowed by stronger rivals
That naturally comes with some extra cost, though. For the model we tested, the Dell 16S struggled to justify its high price, with performance that fell short. It had a tough time keeping up with worthy rivals like the brilliant Acer Swift 16 AI or the powerful Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 Gen 10.
