"Nearly one year ago to the day, Dell killed off its long-standing XPS brand name in favor of milquetoast Premium, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max monikers - but it's back for CES 2026. The new XPS 14 and XPS 16 laptops look to win back fans of the "Extreme Performance System" with Dell's thinnest designs to date, a row of proper function keys, improved battery life, and Intel's new Panther Lake Core Ultra Series 3 processors."
"Dell even went as far as putting the XPS brand name on the lid, and finally marking the edges of its seamless haptic trackpad with subtle glass etching lines. The XPS 14 and 16 are launching in select configurations on January 6th, with entry-level and higher-end configs coming in February. For now, the XPS 14 at launch starts at $1,649.99 and the XPS 16 at $1,849.99."
"The new XPS laptops sport three USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 ports, 10W speakers, and weigh as little as 3 pounds / 1.36 kg (14-inch) or 3.65 pounds / 1.65 kg (16-inch). They're set to start with 1920 x 1200 IPS displays, 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, a 512GB SSD, and Intel's Core Ultra 5 325 chip."
Dell reintroduced the XPS name with two new models: XPS 14 and XPS 16, focused on thinner designs and improved battery life. The laptops include a row of function keys, subtle glass etching around the haptic trackpad, and the XPS brand name on the lid. Launch timing begins January 6th for select configurations, with broader entry- and higher-end options arriving in February; starting prices are $1,649.99 for the 14-inch and $1,849.99 for the 16-inch. Hardware highlights include three USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports, 10W speakers, lightweight chassis, IPS base displays, optional brighter tandem OLEDs, 16GB LPDDR5X, and Intel Core Ultra processors. An Ubuntu 24.04 configuration for the 14-inch is planned later in the year.
