Dell attempted to kill the "XPS" brand in 2025, only to revive it this year. It also comes with a significant change: no more options for discrete graphics. Instead, the laptop uses Intel's new Panther Lake chips, which also have a lot to prove. I was able to test two configurations of the Dell XPS 14 to see how performance scales across price points, and I came away impressed by what these machines could achieve.

We've been hearing a lot lately about the upcoming iQOO 15, the vivo sub-brand's next flagship device which is due to be fully unveiled later this month. But iQOO is also working on the Neo11 series, and today the brand has officially revealed what the 'vanilla' Neo11 looks like in the image you can see below. It comes with a very interesting backside as you can see, which is sort of reminiscent of the iQOO 15's color-changing back version, but not quite the same either.
