Dell XPS 16
The XPS 16 is a well built premium laptop. On a display this large, we'd recommend the Tandem OLED panel. 1920 by 1200 resolution doesn't look sharp enough stretched across a large 16-inch display. For those who want performance, please note it performs well but underperforms the competition. If you get it with an X7 or X9 processor, the chip is only fed 35 watts sustained. Others feed it up to 45 watts.
