Dell Vostro 16 5640 in-depth review

The Dell Vostro 5640 looks like a typical daily driver or a standard office machine. It's powered by Raptor Lake-U / Refresh CPU options which are based on the Alder Lake architecture. The port selection is decent while the upgradability is above the average. Since that's a 16-incher, there is enough space on the main body for a full-sized keyboard with a NumPad.When it comes to security, everything looks good thanks to the Lock slot, the dTPM 2.0 chip, the privacy shutter, and the optional fingerprint reader. Given the price tag of this device, we aren't surprised that Wi-Fi 7 isn't on board.The base display is a 1200p 60Hz unit but if you want a crisper image, you can opt for a 1600p panel with a 120Hz refresh rate.You can check the prices and configurations in our Specs Syst[...]
