Dell is moving to target the entry-level premium laptop market with its flagship XPS brand. The newly introduced XPS 13 will carry a $599 student promotional price through September, with general pricing starting at $699. Dell says it is its thinnest and lightest XPS, at 12.7 mm thick and about 1 kg. It comes with a 13.4-inch anti-glare touchscreen and up to 17 hours of streaming use.

Dell Technologies unveiled the 2026 XPS 14 and XPS 16 at CES 2026. The XPS line is Dell\'s top-tier laptop range and returns to the XPS name after being renamed “Dell Premium” in the past. The new models feature 14.5-inch and 16.3-inch displays, a unibody design using CNC-machined aluminium and Gorilla Glass, and updated user features. They use Intel Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) CPUs and Intel Arc GPUs, with higher AI, graphics and battery performance. They are set for release in mid-March.
