Dell Vostro 16 5630 review – modern-looking device with PWM-free display and basic cooling solution


Today’s market offers plenty of business laptops. Some of them are expensive, with premium builds and powerful internals, these are meant for CEOs (like the Dell Latitude 14 9430) or wealthy power users. Other machines are good all-rounders that can be used by everyone in the office or at home. In this article, we’ll show you a laptop that falls in this exact category – the Dell Vostro 16 5630.

As its name suggests, it’s a 16-inch laptop with a 16:10 aspect ratio which is already established as the new normal. You can choose between three display options and the top one is a 1600p 120Hz variant – this one should be appreciated by people who want a smoother experience while working. Still, if you don’t need such a panel, there are two 1200p models.

The notebook can be maxed out with a Core i7-1360p which is the top Intel Raptor Lake P processor. This is a powerful chip and it’ll be interesting to see how the cooling will handle it given the thin profile of the laptop. While we are still talking about power, this laptop can be equipped with up to 32GB RAM which is plenty for normal office and home usage. In terms of graphics cards, you can rely on the integrated solutions or you can pick the dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 if you want to play some game in the lunch break or after work.

So, the Dell Vostro 16 5630 is trying to impress with its thin profile, powerful hardware, and high-res display variants. This sounds good on paper but let’s test the device to see if its performance is good enough for office and home tasks.
