Dell Technologies said on the 6th that it unveiled two 2026 new models of its premium laptop brand "XPS," the "XPS 14" and "XPS 16."
"XPS" is one of the top lineups in Dell's notebook portfolio. The XPS brand name was changed to "Dell Premium" under a rebranding strategy last year, but returned this year to the more familiar "XPS" for many customers.
The new "XPS 14" and "XPS 16" are top-tier consumer notebooks with 14.5- and 16.3-inch displays, respectively, featuring a unibody design made of CNC-machined aluminum and Gorilla Glass.
For the first time since launch, the XPS logo is engraved on the front cover. For intuitive operation to enhance user convenience, physical function keys were applied, and the active area of the "seamless glass touchpad" has fine etching to support precise control.
The "XPS 14" and "XPS 16" are equipped with the "Intel Core Ultra Series 3" (Panther Lake) CPU and the "Intel Arc" GPU with 12 Xe cores, and offer up to 4TB of storage options. Compared with the previous model, they deliver up to 57% and 78% faster AI performance, respectively, and more than 50% improved graphics performance, while Copilot+ PC's various features, as well as image editing, content streaming, and gaming, see boosted work speeds.
To implement this reliably, Dell completely redesigned the thermal system and applied the largest and thinnest new fan ever to reduce fan noise and improve battery efficiency.
These products feature an InfinityEdge display that maximizes immersion by slimming all four bezels, and offer two options: tandem OLED and 2K LCD.
Another feature is the thinnest and lightest form factor among Dell products. At just 14.6mm thick, the "XPS 14" and "XPS 16" are the first Dell notebooks to feature an ultra-slim 8MP 4K camera and high–energy density 900ED battery cells, enabling longer use while reducing size and weight, with each product weighing 1.36kg and 1.63kg, lighter than the previous model.
In addition, the new products enhance repairability and product lifespan with Dell's unique eco-friendly values, applying an easily detachable keyboard structure and, for the first time in XPS, modular USB-C ports. Recycled steel is used in the hinge, and sustainable materials such as recycled cobalt and recycled copper are used in the battery, and they also meet the EPEAT 2.0 criteria, the U.S. eco-friendly certification system for electronics.
The two new "XPS 14·16" models are scheduled to launch in mid-March.
Kim Kyung-jin, head of Korea Dell Technologies, said, "The new XPS products were redesigned from the user's perspective across all elements, including the display, battery, and keyboard, focusing on improving the completeness of the everyday experience," and added, "Dell is reintroducing an upgraded XPS lineup across design, performance, battery life, and sustainability to set a new standard for premium notebooks."
