This laptop is an alternative to the IdeaPad 5 Pro 16. Similar specs and similar features. Ideapad comes with a Quad core tiger lake H series processor or ryzen 5800h.

This has 2 RAM slots and 2 M.2 SSD slots, all are upgradeable. While the IdeaPad has soldered ram and one M.2 SSD slot.

Because most people, the moment see a Graphics card inside a laptop, just consider that to be a pure gaming laptop and casts their votes based on that assumption. There are few people like you, who can understand the target audience of these kind of laptops without explaining it for at least 20 posts here.

The 3060 version seems like a good day for a creator point of view, no? Does anyone have source for better image of the laptop all i see are renders and no reviews anywhere sadly.

The RTX 3060 version with 1TB SSD is around $1305. https://slickdeals.net/f/15141055-new-inspiron-16-plus-16-3k-16-10-ips-i7-11800h-16gb-ddr4-1tb-pcie-ssd-rtx-3060-mq-thunderbolt-4-win10h-1305-35-f-s?src=catpagev2
And, thanks for understanding the purpose of these kind of laptops. Most people will comment about the Graphics card, expecting a RTX 3060 or a full wattage version.

By the way, this product is pretty unique. The Screen resolution is higher than even the QHD+ resolution and definitely over FHD+ resolution of the XPS 15. By the way, this is actually not equivalent to Legion 5 Pro and is more premium than that.
This is actually equivalent to Lenovo Creator 5 16ACH6 and ThinkBook 16p

great specs for a thin laptop!
the RTX 3060 version looks enticing

here are my questions:
1. how is the thermals when running the RTX 3060? is the throttling bad? I know this isn't going to have the cooling capabilities of G15 gaming laptop and such but if I'm rendering videos, is it comparable to G15?

2. how is the 11800H CPU vs Ryzen 5800H for adobe illustrator, video editing...etc?

The Intel seems to have a slight edge. https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-com...en-7-5800h

I am not sure about Thermals because no reviews yet. But it is not a full powered RTX 3050 or 3060. It is 60W + 15W /w Dynamic Boost. So, cooling this will be relatively easy because of 16" form factor.
Regarding the CPU, 11800H is more or less equivalent to 5800H in terms of performance but it's not as power efficient as AMD. So, expect little less battery life compared to Ryzen laptops with similar capacity battery. Added benefit is Thunderbolt 4.

Been eyeing this Inspiron 16 plus... This laptop is more for content creation than a gaming laptop. Full size SD slot is a plus. No actually YouTube reviews in this yet.

Why the name "16 Plus"? Stupid companies following the fruit company.

Looks like my old macbook 17 from the back in the days. Clean and nice design wise, too bad the 3060 version is a low 60 watt MaxQ variant, good enough for content creators though, def not a gaming machine. However for content creation they should of stuck in a Ryzen 7 or 9 in there instead of the Intel.

Where does it say that? If that is true that's amazing for creators who need absolute color accuracy.

Scroll down to their marketing stuff. Although I am assuming the screen is 10bit when they say that.
