Dell XPS 16 9640 vs LG Gram Pro 16 2025: which one fits your build

The Dell XPS 16 9640 is the one to take for creative professionals wanting a large OLED canvas, though it is not the pick for RAM or storage-slot upgraders.

Our rating of the Dell XPS 16 9640 (8.7/10): the XPS 16 9640 pairs a Core Ultra 9 185H with an RTX 40 series GPU carrying 8GB of VRAM and 32GB of LPDDR5X. The 16.3-inch 3200 x 2000 OLED, 99.5Wh battery, Thunderbolt 4 and WiFi 7 suit creative professionals who want a large, color-rich canvas in a 2.03 kg body. The 32GB of memory is soldered and the storage slot is full, so there is no upgrade path. The OLED panel refreshes at 60Hz, which is less suited to fast gaming.
