Dell announced a significant shift in its PC lineup a year ago by discontinuing the popular XPS brand. This decision faced criticism from both tech experts and consumers. However, Dell has acknowledged its mistake and, after listening to feedback, is reintroducing the XPS range with promises of an enhanced experience.
The revamped Windows 11 laptops boast a fresh design featuring premium materials like aluminum and Gorilla Glass 3 for durability and sophistication. A redesigned keyboard with improved stability and a seamless glass touchpad have been introduced to enhance user experience and portability.
The new XPS 14 and XPS 16 are now Dell’s thinnest laptops ever, measuring just 14.6mm. They feature Intel’s latest Ultra processors for improved performance, graphics, and efficiency. The laptops also come with Intel Arc graphics with 12 cores, offering a 50% boost in graphics performance.
Battery life is a standout feature, with high-density 900ED cells providing up to 27 hours of usage on a single charge. Other notable features include edge-to-edge touch displays, Dolby Atmos speakers, and a variety of ports for connectivity.
Unveiling the models at CES 2026, Dell emphasized that the new XPS laptops maintain the brand’s reputation for premium quality, combining striking design, powerful performance, stunning displays, and long-lasting battery life in a compact and portable package.
