Remember that sleek, minimalist XPS 13 Plus from last year? It’s getting a whole family, minus the “Plus” in their names. Meet the revamped Dell XPS 13, 14, and 16, a trio of polished aluminum and glass beauties ready to steal the CES 2024 spotlight.
What’s new?
- Big Screens, Bigger Choices: The 14-inch and 16-inch models join the party, offering gorgeous “Infinity Edge” displays with optional OLED upgrades. Plus, variable refresh rates up to 120Hz ensure smooth scrolling and silky-smooth visuals.
- Touchy-Feely Fun: Say goodbye to the invisible haptic touchpad saga. The new XPS family sports a visible touchpad flanked by touch-sensitive function keys, all housed in a seamless glass wrist rest.
- Ports for the People: Remember the XPS 13 Plus’s minimalist port situation? The XPS 14 and 16 are here to right the ship with headphone jacks, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, and even a microSD card slot. (Dell even throws in adapters for the XPS 13, just in case.)
- Brains AND Brawn: Intel’s new Core Ultra chips power these machines, packing in dedicated NPUs for AI work. And if you need extra graphical oomph, the XPS 14 and 16 can be configured with NVIDIA’s RTX 40-series GPUs.
- XPS 14: The Sweet Spot? This baby looks like the Goldilocks of the bunch, promising a big 14.5-inch screen in a relatively light 3.7-pound body. Headphone jack included, thank you very much!
- XPS 16: Power User Playground? The king of the hill offers a massive 16.3-inch display in a surprisingly slim package. Half a pound lighter than the old XPS 17, it might be the ultimate Windows workstation on the go.
Pricing and Availability:
Get ready to empty your wallet, folks. The XPS 13 starts at $1,300, the XPS 14 at $1,700, and the XPS 16 at a cool $1,900.
