Dell kills the XPS brand

XPS is finally dead. Oh, haven’t you heard? Dell has announced the change of brand sweeping earlier this year, but perhaps its most emblematic laptop brand has not changed in the past six months. No new XPS model is released, so the laptop line has crossed. But now, the ambitious (and sometimes downright confusing) brand change efforts have reached XPS, beloved laptops who have established the Windows Premium laptops for many years. In place of what would have been the new Dell XPS 14 and XPS 16, the company launches the Dell Premium 14 and Dell Premium 16. It does not deposit the language of the same.

Aside from the name, this is a modest upgrade compared to the models of last year. The new laptops use the latest Intel (Core Ultra 200h Series) chips) and the NVIDIA RTX 50-series graphics. The new Intel chips claim to offer a better battery life – up to 27 hours on Dell Premium 16 – while RTX 5050, 5060 and 5070 will improve the graphics. THE Dell Premium 14 starts at $ 1,650which is $ 50 cheaper than it launched last year.

In the meantime, the Dell Premium 16 will only be launched With the RTX 5070 model, with other configurations to come later. Although conceptions are as elegant as it is ever, the fact that the two models start with only a resolution screen X 1200 pixels 1920 feels crazy at this price, especially when stretched on a 16.3 inch screen. Let’s not forget: the 14 inch MacBook Pro At a lower starting price and is delivered with a high resolution mini LED screen on all models. Prices tend to fluctuate, however, and I am happy that Dell keeps these machines based on creators with discreet graphic options around. I hope to test them soon, but for the moment, let’s pay one for XPS, an emblematic PC brand that has existed since the early 1990s – one of the last selected from a very different era from technology. –Luke Larsen
