Are premium Windows laptops worth it in 2025? This Dell settled the debate for me
"Dell's laptop rebrand may have resulted in some shuffling around of naming conventions, but the new -- Dell's refreshed high-performance line of laptops -- looks a whole lot like the Dell XPS upon first glance. If you're confused about this laptop's placement in Dell's product placement hierarchy, it's in the consumer category, and the highest-tier model in that group. This makes it a premium, but accessible, laptop for pro creatives, designers, and tech enthusiasts."
"Also: Looking for a Windows 11 laptop? This Dell checks all the right boxes for me From the zero-lattice keyboard to the edge-to-edge OLED display and invisible trackpad, the Dell 14 Premium lives up to its name with a sleek, future-facing build. Because of its clever recessed design, it gives the impression that it's hovering above the surface when sitting on a table."
"In terms of hardware, the Dell 14 Premium comes with the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H "Arrow Lake" processor, up to 32GB of LPDDR5X, 8400MT/s dual-channel RAM, and either an Intel Arc Graphics or Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU. Opting for the 32GB of RAM and OLED display will bring the price up to $2,250 -- the upper limit of what could be considered "accessible" for a premium-tier laptop."
Dell released the Dell 14 Premium as the consumer category's highest-tier model aimed at pro creatives, designers, and tech enthusiasts. The design echoes XPS aesthetics while introducing a zero-lattice keyboard, edge-to-edge OLED, invisible trackpad, and recessed chassis that appears to hover. Hardware options include Intel Core Ultra 7 processors, up to 32GB of LPDDR5X 8400MT/s dual-channel RAM, and either Intel Arc Graphics or an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU. Configuring 32GB RAM with the OLED increases the price to about $2,250. Some review units used a slightly higher-clocked, special-order CPU option.
