Rank #8 in Best Ryzen 7 Laptop UK 2026: Vega 8 Under a Gaming Badge
Dell 16" 2K Laptop, Ryzen 7 250, 16 GB DDR5, 1 TB
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Dell 16 costs £853.13 with a 16 inch 2K screen at 300 nits, a Ryzen 7 250 processor, 16 GB of DDR5 memory, a terabyte of storage and a UK backlit keyboard.
It is rated 4.0 stars from 18 buyers, and its distribution is the point: fourteen per cent give it one star and not a single buyer gives it two, which is what reviews look like when the unhappy ones received a faulty unit rather than a disappointing laptop.
How those 18 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.0 stars.

Questions people ask
Why is it not higher with the newest chip?
Because of its record: fourteen per cent of eighteen buyers give it one star. The three machines above it have better distributions, and two of them have real graphics cards.
What does the missing two-star column mean?
That buyers either liked it or received a faulty unit. Nobody was merely disappointed, which is a different pattern from the machines here whose one-star share is matched by a two-star share.
Does it have DDR5?
Yes, 16 GB at 5600 MHz, where the £659 Dell and the HP use DDR4.
Is it a gaming laptop?
No. Graphics are integrated and share the memory. The screen and the memory make it quick for work, not for games.
How is it rated?
4.0 stars from 18 ratings: fifty-eight per cent five-star, twenty four-star, eight three-star and fourteen one-star.
How many ratings does it have?
18 at the time of collection, averaging 4 stars, with 58 per cent five-star and 14 per cent one-star.
