Dell has announced the reintroduction of its XPS brand, one year after discontinuing it. The decision to bring back the beloved XPS laptops comes after criticism from tech experts and customers. The revamped XPS lineup features a fresh design, premium materials like aluminum and Gorilla Glass 3, and improved portability with reduced weight and thickness.
The new XPS 14 and XPS 16 models boast a sleek profile, measuring just 14.6mm thin. They come equipped with Intel’s latest Ultra processors for enhanced performance, including faster speeds, better graphics, and improved efficiency. The laptops also feature a reengineered thermal system to manage temperatures effectively during heavy usage.
Intel Arc graphics with 12 cores offer a 50% performance boost over previous generations, while high-density 900ED cells provide up to 27 hours of battery life on a single charge. Other notable features include edge-to-edge touch displays, Dolby Atmos speakers, and a variety of ports for connectivity.
Dell unveiled the new XPS models at CES 2026, emphasizing their premium design, powerful performance, stunning displays, and long-lasting battery life. The company stated that the XPS series has always been synonymous with high-quality laptops and that the latest models continue this tradition in a compact and portable form factor.
