日本Dell Vostro 16 5625 – Top 5 Pros and Cons
16-inch notebooks are the new craze, mimicking the success that phone manufacturers had when they started playing around with the aspect ratio and screen sizes, which led to a new age in the smartphone market. From there, laptops have slowly started adopting different aspect ratios and display sizes, with the 16-inch 16:10 form factor being the most prominent. Today we have one such notebook, which looks to offer a pretty good bang for the buck, thanks to its use of slightly older hardware, which will still be very relevant in 2022 and beyond.
Today we present you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Dell Vostro 16 5625.
Dell Vostro 16 5625: Full Specs / In-depth Review
3 reasons to BUY the Dell Vostro 16 5625
1. Design and build quality
Dell didn’t skip out on the engineering classes, delivering a tough and rigid aluminum chassis. Despite the great structural support, the weight and height have been kept on the down-low, with the device measuring 1.97 kg and 18 mm for the weight and height, respectively. The design is smart, with simple lines, rounded edges, and corners. One quirky thing about it is the rubber strip on the back, which feels like it was carelessly placed by a human with no sense for craftsmanship and attention to detail.
2. I/O
The laptop comes with two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports, a single USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port, an HDMI 1.4 port, an SD card reader, a LAN port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
3. Cooling
The cooling solution here is quite simple, but the Ryzen 5000U-series doesn’t exactly need a lot. There are two heat pipes connected to a heat sink and a single fan.
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.

| Dell Vostro 16 5625 | 3.06 GHz @ 66°C | 2.83 GHz @ 72°C | 2.67 GHz @ 67°C |

2 reasons NOT to buy the Dell Vostro 16 5625
1. Input devices
Despite the well-built body, the input devices have some kinks to iron out. The unit comes with short key travel, but at least the feedback is clicky. There’s also a backlight and a NumPad. The touchpad is pretty average, with a smooth surface, but the clicking mechanism is stiff, which makes using the pad a hassle.
2. Display quality
There are two display options, with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The base model comes with an FHD+ IPS display, with there also being a 3K display. We tested the former option, which has excellent viewing angles, a max brightness of 272 nits in the middle of the screen, and 261 nits as an average for the whole area, with a maximum deviation of 5%. The contrast ratio is pretty high – 1300:1. There’s also no PWM usage across all brightness levels.
Now, let’s get to the bad stuff. The laptop shows only 50% sRGB coverage, while the accuracy doesn’t improve much when we apply our Design and Gaming profile. It’s not fitting that Dell would go all the way from making a 16-inch 16:10 display that shines in productivity, without placing a good enough panel. Here are the results of the test with the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right).

Naast het ontvangen van efficiënte en gezondheidsvriendelijke profielen, steunt u door het kopen van LaptopMedia's producten ook de ontwikkeling van onze laboratoria, waar wij apparaten testen om de meest objectieve beoordelingen mogelijk te maken.
Office Work
Office Work moet vooral worden gebruikt door gebruikers die de meeste tijd besteden aan het bekijken van stukken tekst, tabellen of gewoon surfen. Dit profiel is gericht op het leveren van een betere helderheid en duidelijkheid door het behouden van een vlakke gammacurve (2.20), native kleurtemperatuur en perceptueel accurate kleuren.
Ontwerp en spel
Dit profiel is gericht op ontwerpers die beroepsmatig met kleuren werken, en ook voor games en films. Design and Gaming brengt beeldschermen tot het uiterste en maakt ze zo nauwkeurig mogelijk in de sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standaard voor Web en HDTV, bij witpunt D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard elimineert de schadelijke Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) en vermindert het negatieve Blauwe Licht dat onze ogen en ons lichaam aantast. Omdat het op maat is gemaakt voor elk paneel, slaagt het erin de kleuren perceptueel nauwkeurig te houden. Health-Guard simuleert papier zodat de druk op de ogen sterk wordt verminderd.
