Dell Defends Its Apple-Sounding Rebrand, New PC Brand Names | Entrepreneur
Briefly

Dell's decision to drop its long-standing XPS, Latitude, and Inspiron names for a simplified branding approach comes in response to extensive research involving tens of thousands of users, indicating a desire for clearer product categorization. Their chief operating officer, Jeff Clarke, emphasized that this was aimed at making purchasing decisions easier for consumers, as the new system categorizes products into Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max, each defined by its intended use—play, work, or enhanced productivity.
During a press briefing, Dell faced criticism for its new naming strategy, with some attendees noting similarities to Apple's branding with 'Pro' and 'Pro Max.'

The change aims to position Dell's trusted name within a modern market, ultimately simplifying consumer choices while offering a broader range of options.
