- Dell reimagines the XPS lineup with refined interfaces and optimised performance with industry-leading long battery life
- New Dell XPS 14 and XPS 16 showcased at CES ‘26
Dell Technologies is expanding its consumer and gaming portfolio. During 2026, Dell will reintroduce its iconic XPS laptops with reimagined designs across new form factors and price points, and will expand its Alienware line to reach more gamers and it launches two industry-leading UltraSharp monitors.
Jeff Clarke, vice chairman and chief operating officer, Dell Technologies notes:
“We’re getting back to our roots with a renewed focus on consumer and gaming. XPS is back, better than ever, with a complete redesign that delivers exceptional craftsmanship in our thinnest, lightest form factors yet. We’re also bringing XPS 13 back as our most accessible XPS ever. In gaming, we’re building on recent momentum and effectively doubling Alienware’s notebook lineup. These moves are about broadening our portfolio and expanding our coverage so we can reach more customers with the best products at every price point.”
XPS Returns with Complete Redesign
Dell is bringing back XPS with a streamlined design. For the first time, the iconic XPS logo appears on the laptop cover. The new XPS 14 and XPS 16 feature a sleek design crafted from CNC-machined aluminum, refined interfaces, stunning displays and optimised performance. These devices allegedly have the best battery life in the industry, delivering up to 27 hours of Netflix streaming depending on what else the user may be running or 40+ hours with local video playback (again, it depends upon how the user has configured or will be using their new XPS).
These will be Dell’s thinnest laptop to date based on their current range, measuring just 14.6mm. The XPS 14 weighs roughly three pounds – more than half a pound lighter than the previous generation – and the XPS 16 comes in at 3.6 pounds, almost a full pound lighter than its predecessor. Available with tandem OLED display options and Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processors and built-in Intel® Arc graphics featuring 12 Xe cores, the new XPS line delivers impressive visuals with the perfect balance of portability and performance.
Later this year, Dell will expand the XPS portfolio with new products across different price points and form factors, including the return of the XPS 13, expected to be the thinnest and lightest XPS laptop ever, offered at, according to Dell, “the most accessible XPS price yet”. Dell fans can’t wait….
