The panel is WVA which is another way of saying IPS, which Dell trademarked. So, this is definitely not VA, but IPS which you could have easily verified by doing some research and checking Dell's official spec sheet; even the QHD+ display is labeled WVA, are you going to call it VA too?
It amazes me how many people say soldered RAM is "no-go". Almost every non-gaming laptop has soldered RAM. So which laptops are a "go" for you? Certainly nothing thin and light. Why people look at these laptops like they might have SODIMM slots is beyond me. Plus, have you looked at the price of SODIMM's? If you did, you'd see you probably wouldn't buy them anyways.

This Dell Plus 16 stands out as a strong spec play for the money, especially with 32GB of LPDDR5 memory and a 1TB SSD. The Ryzen AI 7 350 and NPU also make it appealing for local AI tasks, and the USB C ports support DisplayPort output with 4K at 60Hz. The main drawbacks are the soldered RAM with no upgrade path, modest 300 nit brightness, and a 60Hz 1920 by 1200 panel. Open box condition can be excellent, but missing chargers and other condition surprises have shown up.
Common Questions (5)
The 32GB LPDDR5 RAM is soldered, so it cannot be upgraded, removed, or transferred to another laptop. That makes the configuration a good fit only if 32GB is enough for your use case today.
The display is a 16-inch 1920x1200 panel rated at 300 nits, and Dell labels it WVA, which is its IPS-equivalent branding. The practical downside is limited outdoor visibility, especially compared with brighter 600-nit or 2000-nit screens.
Open-box units can range from nearly new returns to dirty store displays with missing parts, so condition is very YMMV. Some Good units arrive in great shape, while Fair units may be missing the charger.
It is a strong value if you can use 32GB now, but it is a poor fit if you want RAM upgrades or a brighter panel. The soldered LPDDR5 memory and 300-nit display are the main tradeoffs.
It can handle 4K at 60Hz over its two USB-C ports with DisplayPort over USB-C. HDMI 1.4 is the limiting factor, so 4K output is better done through USB-C.
