Dell has revealed the new Dell 14 Premium and Dell 16 Premium laptops, which are succeeding the XPS 14 and 16, respectively. The same design is sticking around, but the laptops now have the latest Core Ultra processors and optional RTX 50-series graphics.

Even though the XPS brand is one of the most recognizable in the PC industry, Dell confirmedearlier this yearthat it was ditching the name, along with other names like Inspiron and Precision. In place of all those brands is a new simplified lineup: Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max. The last piece of the rebranding puzzle is Dell Premium, which is replacing the XPS series.

Dell 14 Premium

The firstDell 14 Premium laptopis nearly identical to the existing XPS 14, intended to compete with laptops like the MacBook Air and LG Gram Pro. The base configuration has a 14.5-inch screen, an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD storage. There’s also a higher-end model that swaps out Intel Arc graphics for an RTX 4050 graphics card, bumps up the RAM to 32GB, and increases the storage to 1TB. Dell has other configuration options available through its website.

The design is mostly the same as the Dell Premium 14 and earlier XPS laptops, though it has more depth to accommodate the more power-hungry graphics cards. The connectivity is also mostly identical, but you do get Thunderbolt 5 on the models with an RTX 5070 graphics card. That’s still a rarity in the PC industry—thelatest M4 MacBook Prosupports it on some configurations, andlast year’s Razer Blade 18was the first laptop with it.

Pricing for the Dell Premium 16 starts at $2,700, and you canbuy one from Dell’s website. That’s definitely expensive, but if you need a portable Windows workstation, it’s hard to go wrong here.
