Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is set to commence next week. Ahead of the tech show, some brands have already announced new products. American PC manufacturer Dell has also announced new XPS laptops and UltraSharp monitors. The XPS lineup usually comprises 13, 15, and 17-inch variants. However, this time, the brand has refreshed the XPS series with new screen sizes, a unified design, and the latest hardware.
The new Dell XPS laptops come in 13
(9340), 14 (9440), and 16-inch (9640) screen sizes. All three variants come in
OLED touch and non-touch options. The 13.4 and 14.5-inch models are offered in
FHD+, QHD+, and 3.2K display resolution whereas the 16.3-inch XPS can be opted
in either FHD+ or 4K variant.
The new Dell XPS laptops sport a premium
design with an aluminum chassis and Gorillas Glass 3 for the display. The power
button doubles up as a fingerprint scanner. All three models have a glass
touchpad that spans across the entire area below the keyboard. The machines
feature a backlit lattice keyboard with gap-less keys. There is also a new
touch function row that can switch between the media and function keys. The
laptops have a 1080p webcam and are equipped with quad speakers with support
for Dolby Atmos.
Under the hood, the Dell XPS laptops are
equipped with up to Intel Core Ultra 9 processor paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX
4070 GPU. The base model has integrated Intel Arc graphics and no dedicated
GPU. All three models can be configured up to 64GB LPDDR5x RAM and 4TB SSD
storage. The XPS 13 and 14 are backed by a 55 and 69.5WHr battery units
respectively with support for a 60W adapter. The larger XPS 16 draws its power
from a 99.5WHr cell with support for a 130W adapter.
The new Dell XPS laptops start at US$ 1,299
for the 13-inch variant whereas the 14 and 16-inch models are priced at US$ 1,699
and US$ 1,899 respectively. The lineup is offered in Platinum and Graphite color
