What are your thoughts on the Dell Inspiron 16 (5625) laptop with its 16" FullHD+ 250 nit screen display, AMD Ryzen 7 5825U processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, AMD Radeon Graphics and for about $750. My usage will be mostly for programming in .net. Any user experiences or recommendations ?

    Hardware seems good, but somehow the monitor bugs me… 250nits seems quite low. A laptop at this price should have 400-500nits in my opinion. And even then it’s not always that easy to work in daylight. If I’m not wrong MacBooks have something over 1000nits (just for comparison).

    Full HD (1080p) is ok but I personally now recommend 1440p because you can have more stuff on the single monitor. I work much with WebStorm and IntelliJ and both are so much more pleasant to use on the 1440p monitor (maybe just subjective experience, would like if someone can back this up)

    Otherwise like said, good specs. Maybe would upgrade to 32gigs in some time. Tho I’m not sure if the price is ok :/
