Regular customers may not be very well familiar with the creator laptop segment, but this category of PCs come with loads of potential. Unlike gaming laptops, creator laptops are aimed at professionals who require extra juice in their portable PCs, and they come with some eye-catching features without compromising the design. That essentially means you’ll get to see high-end specifications in a sleek form factor. That’s why I was very excited when Dell approached me to review their Inspiron 16 Plus (7610) that not only looks good but also carries a mighty starting price tag of $919.99, which is still not the most expensive laptop when compared to rivals. It also means that the laptop can be considered an entry-level creator laptop in the segment. If you’re a professional who likes running multiple browser tabs, editing videos and photos, and enjoys occasional gaming, here’s a breakdown.

Paints an eco-friendly picture: 100% of your Inspiron laptop's painted parts use low VOC waterborne paint for a durable, yet environmentally-friendly, design.
Recycled packaging: Your Inspiron laptop's packaging is packed with recycled materials, which keeps these materials circulating in the economy, rather than sending them to a landfill. Up to 90% of the packaging as a whole is comprised of recycled materials, while the laptop tray is 100% recycled paper pulp.
Ready to go: Your always-ready experience starts as soon as you open your device. Turn on, boot-up, and log-in quickly. A lid-open sensor gets the laptop started when opened, even if completely off or hibernating, and an optional fingerprint reader will verify identity quickly for login using Windows Hello.
Say it out loud: Staying connected with up-to-date applications has never been easier thanks to Adaptive Connected Modern Standby with Voice Support. Now your device stays ready, even when asleep, and allows you to call out for its voice assistant to instantly wake it up to perform a task.
ExpressCharge Boost: Go from 0% up to 35% in as little as 20 minutes to jumpstart your laptop and not worry about hopping from power outlet to outlet.
Adaptive thermals: Using advanced algorithms and accelerometers, your system is smart enough to know when it is on a stable surface, such as a desk, or unstable surface like your hands or lap. This allows your device to intelligently adapt its power and thermal profiles to the situation – keeping your device running smoothly.

Turn up the heat: From locker rooms to locked cars, we test Inspiron laptops for survival in harsh short-term heat conditions of up to 65°C/149°F.
Everything hinges on it: We test Inspiron laptop hinges to ensure they still feel tight, even after opening and closing the lid 20,000 times.
Keys to success: We test commonly used keys for 10 million keystrokes and touch pad buttons 1 million times with no failure. So go ahead, finish your novel.
Buttoned up: No matter what you set your power and multimedia buttons to do, we've tested them all to survive up to 40,000 pushes with no problems.
Twist and turn: Call us excessive, but after twisting an Inspiron laptop's base and lid more than 25,000 times, we can assure you the parts inside are well protected.
Always a good fit: You'll probably never need to remove and reinstall your Inspiron's battery 30 times, but you can rest easy knowing that we've tested even that.
