Dell resurrects XPS brand with slick new laptop that's smaller than a MacBook Air, lasts 40 hours and relies on Intel's Panther Lake chip for gaming grunt

Fancy battery tech and tandem OLED screens are among the highlights.

Along with teasing some very skinny new Alienware laptops, one of the highlights of Dell's CES keynote was the return of the XPS brand in the form of some very slick new portable PCs. Notably, Dell isn't offering discrete graphics options with the new laptops, the implication being that the iGPU in the new Panther Lake CPU makes that unnecessary.

Putting aside the fact that killing off the XPS brand never seemed like a good idea, Dell's new laptops certainly look like a promising return for the XPS line. Initially, Dell is launching the XPS 14 and XPS 16, with a 13-inch model to follow.

Rounding out the new XPS 14 and 16's highlights are optional tandem OLED screens. In this context, "tandem OLED" means just what you'd think, namely two OLED panels stacked atop one another.

This makes for a brighter, more robust OLED panel. Dell quotes full screen brightness at 400 nits, which is better than any desktop OLED monitor. It's worth noting that the OLED screens come with a battery life hit, though Dell isn't quoting specifics for now.

However, Dell has released pricing, pegging entry pricing at $2,049.99 for the 14 and $2,199.99 for the 16. Both laptops are available from today.

Along with the XPS 14 and 16, Dell said that an XPS 13 model will arrive later this year. It gets the same premium build quality, but will be the thinnest and lightest XPS ever, measuring under 13 mm thick.
