Choosing a 16-inch laptop

16-inch laptops have largely replaced 15.6-inch ones at the mid and high end. The taller 16:10 screen gives you more room for documents, timelines and code, which is why many creator and gaming laptops use this size.

They’re desk-first laptops, typically 1.8 to 2.5 kg, with room for bigger batteries, better cooling and more ports. Sharp 2.5K and 3K screens are common, often at 120 Hz or more.

If you want a big screen but still carry the laptop sometimes, filter by weight: a few 16-inch laptops come in under 1.6 kg.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 16-inch laptop too big?

For daily carrying, it can be. For working at a desk or gaming, it's a great size that gives you a lot of screen.

16-inch or 15.6-inch laptop?

The 16-inch screen is taller (16:10), so it shows more at once in a body of similar size. Most new mid and high-end laptops use it.

Are 16-inch laptops good for gaming?

Yes. The bigger body leaves room for more powerful graphics and better cooling, and the screen size suits games well.
