Dell has announced the revival of its XPS brand, a year after discontinuing it, following strong criticism from technology experts and customers. The new XPS laptops, redesigned from scratch, feature premium materials like aluminum and Gorilla Glass 3, providing durability and a sleek look.
The updated models boast a fresh design, including a revamped keyboard for enhanced stability and a seamless glass touchpad. Dell has also focused on improving portability by reducing weight and thickness, making the XPS 14 and XPS 16 the thinnest laptops from the company at 14.6mm.
Performance has been significantly upgraded with Intel’s latest Ultra processors, promising faster speeds, better graphics, and improved efficiency. The laptops feature an innovative thermal system to manage temperatures effectively, even during demanding tasks. Additionally, the inclusion of Intel Arc graphics with 12 cores offers a 50% performance boost compared to the previous generation.
Battery life is a standout feature with high-density 900ED cells providing up to 27 hours of usage on a single charge, ensuring prolonged functionality. Other notable features include edge-to-edge touch displays, Dolby Atmos speakers, and a variety of ports for connectivity.
Dell unveiled the new XPS 14 and XPS 16 at CES 2026, emphasizing their commitment to delivering premium laptops with exceptional design, performance, display quality, and battery life. The company aims to cater to users seeking a compact and powerful device for on-the-go productivity.
