CES 2024: Dell is introducing new screen sizes to its XPS lineup with the XPS 16 and XPS 14, and is revamping the XPS 13 Plus to XPS 13.
The new XPS designs take a minimalistic approach using CNC machined aluminum and Gorilla Glass 3, and tone-on-tone colours (available in Graphite and Platinum).
They feature a touch function row to switch between media and function keys easily, a seamless glass touchpad with haptic feedback, and larger keycaps that provide a comfortable and smooth typing experience with every keystroke.
More details below from the press release.
Style Meets Performance
Each new XPS laptop features InfinityEdge panels with OLED touch options, variable refresh rates, high resolution options, stunning colour and Dolby Vision® for rich detail.
The new portfolio boasts an exceptional audio experience starting with a quad speaker design, support for Dolby Atmos® immersive audio, and 3D stereo surround from MaxxAudio® Pro by Waves.
Pricing and Availability
The XPS 13, XPS 14 and XPS 16 will be available on dell.com.sg as well as at Dell exclusive stores in Singapore. Price and availability are yet to be announced.
Plus, the new intelligent FHD 1080p webcam provides crystal clear video calls.
The lineup also brings new AI-enabled features, with AI acceleration built into the device thanks to Intel Core Ultra processors and experiences brought to life by Windows 11.
These experiences enhance creativity and productivity while also providing better performance and longer battery life.
And speaking of battery life, all XPS laptops feature ExpressCharge to recharge 80% of battery life in just 60 minutes, so users can keep their creative flow going.
Introducing the New XPS Portfolio
Dell pioneered the art of engineering narrow bezels to minimise its footprint and maximise screen size.
Now users can say hello to the new immersive 16- and 14-inch screens.
The new XPS 16 and XPS 14 bring more portability to Dell’s XPS laptops and place the focus on performance and design.
The XPS 16 (9640) is the frontrunner of the portfolio, with supercharged performance for complex workloads.
AI, The New Best Friend
AI and generative AI (GenAI) are driving the latest wave of innovation and unlocking new possibilities on the PC.
It is exciting to see PCs built with AI acceleration into the device.
The new XPS portfolio, powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, features a built-in AI acceleration engine with the addition of a NPU (neural processing unit).
This means the PC no longer needs to rely solely on the CPU or GPU for processing and performance.
Imagine a creator who is always on the go and editing photos in Adobe Lightroom.
This new technology automatically leverages the right compute engine for the workload, in this case letting users edit images faster than before while preserving battery life.
The laptops all come with Copilot in Windows 11, harnessing the capabilities of AI to make the things users do every day easier, faster and effortless.
The portfolio also features a Copilot key designed to make it even easier to get things done and stay in the flow of work.
Now – with the press of a key – users can have quick access to the everyday AI companion.
Featuring the latest Intel Core Ultra processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs (up to the GeForce RTX 4070 GPU), the XPS 16 is Dell’s most powerful XPS laptop with up to 80W of sustained performance.
Ideal for those running demanding apps, whether it is editing videos or testing the latest AI software, users will have a smooth and fast experience.
Combining performance, design and portability, the XPS 14 is a great option for those who need the freedom of working from anywhere.
The XPS 14 (9440) is 21% lighter than the XPS 16, but it still delivers powerful performance to complete challenging tasks with ease.
With optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs (up to the GeForce RTX 4050 GPU), users can edit and play high-resolution videos effortlessly. And with long battery life, it is a refined laptop made to move with users.
Both XPS 16 and XPS 14 are NVIDIA Studio-validated systems, meaning they deliver industry-leading performance for demanding creative tasks such as 3D rendering, video editing, and live streaming, while offering exclusive access to the Studio AI-powered suite of tools and enhanced stability with NVIDIA Studio Drivers.
XPS 13 (9340) started Dell’s design revolution and set its vision of the future with its iconic design.
Starting at just 2.6lbs, it is Dell’s thinnest and lightest XPS, so users can carry the device wherever they are headed.
The renewed laptop has three new display options to choose from (including FHD+, QHD+ touch and 3K+ OLED touch) to provide users with a versatile visual experience, suitable for everyday productivity to high-resolution content creation.
The XPS 13 is the ideal multi-tasking machine to balance school, work, personal projects or entertainment.
Sustainable From Top to Bottom
Dell continues their commitment to incorporate more sustainable materials in both the products and packaging.
The new XPS family has the highest level of sustainable materials yet, and, for the first time, the new XPS family is designed with recycled aluminum and low emissions aluminum made from a renewable energy source.
This reduces the carbon footprint of this material by up to 89%.
Made from 100% recycled or renewable content, the packaging used to protect XPS laptops brings Dell one step closer to meeting their ambitious 2030 Advancing Sustainability Goals.
The new XPS family is registered EPEAT Gold and complies with EPEAT’s new and stringent climate criteria to achieve the EPEAT Climate+ Designation.
With the Climate+ designation, these laptops have met industry’s best practices for decarbonisation.
