Dell kicked off 2025 by rebranding all of its long-running laptop lines (and promptly getting roasted for it). Today,?? ??? ?? the company announced the first wave of successors to its popular XPS laptop series: the Dell Premium 14 and 16.
The two PCs feature Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors, slightly larger 120Hz displays, and a tweaked Dell logo on their lids. (The brand name no longer has a circle around it.) Otherwise, they look almost identical to their forebears, the XPS 14 and 16, retaining their polarizing minimalist designs with gapless keyboards, seamless touchpads, and Platinum and Graphite finishes.
The Premium 14 and 16 are available now at Dell starting at $1,649.99 and $2,699.99, respectively, with delivery dates listed for mid- to late July.
The more portable Premium 14 features a 14.5-inch 2K LCD display, an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, integrated Intel Arc Graphics, 16GB to 64GB of RAM, 512GB to 4TB of SSD storage, and newly added WiFi 7 support. Optional upgrades include an OLED touchscreen display and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU. It's rated at up to 20 hours of battery life; you'll get the most usage out of a non-OLED model.
At launch, this laptop maxes out at 32GB of RAM and 4TB of storage, but Dell said an option with 64GB of RAM will be available eventually.

It's supposed to last up to 27 hours on a single charge, but its optional 4K OLED touchscreen display upgrade will bump that down a bit.

Dell said the Premium 16 will be "available soon" with Intel Arc 140T, RTX 5050, and RTX 5070 graphics. The latter comes with three Thunderbolt 5 ports and will be capable of supporting up to four 8K external displays.
Notably, both new Premium laptops have a neural processing unit (or NPU), but it caps out at 13 TOPS (trillions of operations per second, an AI performance metric). That's well below the 40 TOPS threshold that would make them Copilot+ PCs. In other words, they won't come with certain AI features that are available in other popular Windows laptops, like Recall, Studio Effects, and a Cocreator image generator in Microsoft Paint. For some shoppers, that might be a huge plus: In a fall 2024 survey conducted by Intel, 44 percent of respondents said they considered AI PCs to be "a gimmick or futuristic technology."
