Dell Pro 16 Plus (PB16250) Review with Intel Core Ultra 7 268V
75%
Summary
The Dell Pro 16 Plus (PB16250) is a competent business laptop that prioritises efficiency, battery life, and practical usability over outright performance. The Lunar Lake-based Core Ultra 7 268V delivers responsive day-to-day performance for office workloads, while the solid aluminium chassis, good port selection, and comfortable keyboard make it well suited to a professional environment. However, the relatively basic display, limited external monitor support, and modest multi-threaded performance mean it will not suit every workload. For general productivity and mobile work it performs reliably, but buyers with heavier workloads or complex multi-monitor setups would be better served by one of the H-series or AMD configurations.

- Good port selection including USB-A
