I have no clue how much better the new cpus will be, but from earlier reviews of the 1260P, it looks like they are a big step up from 11th gen. I'm also assuming the the efficiency cores combined with a massive 87wh battery will result in crazy good battery life.
Also it looks like they ship late April and will arrive in early May.
I didn't even know the Inspiron 16 had been announced with 12th gen yet! Good find! I'm still holding out for an updated XPS 13 though
