Dell has officially unveiled the next evolution of its flagship XPS lineup with the launch of the all-new XPS 14 and XPS 16, setting a new benchmark for ultra-thin premium laptops built for modern, mobile lifestyles. Designed for life in motion, the latest XPS models blend striking industrial design, all-day performance, and practical AI capabilities into Dell’s thinnest and most refined 14-inch and 16-inch laptops to date.
Crafted with purpose and designed to move effortlessly with users, the new XPS 14 and XPS 16 reflect Dell’s renewed focus on premium craftsmanship and meaningful innovation. From long-haul flights to late-night creative sessions, these laptops are built to deliver power without bulk, beauty without fragility, and innovation without compromise.
A New Standard in Design and Craftsmanship
The XPS 14 and XPS 16 showcase Dell’s most refined design language yet. Precision-crafted from CNC-machined aluminium and reinforced with Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3, the laptops feature a seamless unibody construction that enhances rigidity while maintaining an ultra-clean, minimalist aesthetic. Subtle parting lines, a tonal colour palette, and a glass palm rest elevate the tactile experience, ensuring every surface looks and feels premium.
Despite their sleek appearance, durability remains a priority. The new XPS models are rigorously tested to withstand drops, pressure, heat, and everyday wear, reinforcing Dell’s commitment to long-term reliability. A redesigned press-fit hinge enables effortless one-hand opening, while a compact footprint, made possible by Dell’s iconic InfinityEdge displays, allows the XPS 14 to fit into spaces typically reserved for smaller laptops.
Ultra-Thin, Ultra-Light, and Built to Travel
Mobility takes centre stage with the new XPS lineup. Starting at just 1.36kg for the XPS 14 and 1.65 kg for the XPS 16, and measuring only 14.6mm thin, these are Dell’s thinnest 14-inch and 16-inch laptops ever. The compact design makes them ideal travel companions, whether slipping into a backpack or fitting comfortably on an airline tray table.
Dell’s engineers have paired the slim form factor with impressive endurance. Thanks to high energy-density 900ED batteries, power-efficient displays, and low-power LPDDR5X memory, the XPS 14 and 16 deliver up to 27 hours of streaming battery life, with even longer runtimes during local video playback. It’s a balance of portability and longevity that ensures users stay productive without constantly searching for a power outlet.
Performance Without Compromise
Under the hood, the new XPS laptops are powered by up to Intel® Core™ Ultra X7 and X9 processors (Series 3), delivering efficient performance across real-world workloads. Whether multitasking across productivity apps, editing creative projects, or powering through a full workday of video calls, the XPS 14 and 16 are designed to stay fast, cool, and quiet.
Graphics performance also sees a significant boost with Intel® Arc™ graphics, offering up to 50% faster performance compared to the previous generation. This enables smooth video editing, streaming, and even casual gaming at 1080p and over 60 FPS, all without the cost or battery drain of a dedicated GPU.
Thermal innovation plays a key role in sustaining performance. Dell’s largest and thinnest fans yet, combined with advanced airflow design, multi-layer graphite sheets, and Gore Aerogel insulation, help keep the laptops cooler and quieter under load. The result is a thinner design that remains comfortable on the lap while delivering consistent performance.
Practical AI, Built In
The XPS 14 and XPS 16 are designed for the AI-powered era, featuring Intel® AI Boost NPUs capable of up to 50 TOPs. These enable on-device AI experiences that enhance everyday tasks without additional setup or battery drain. From smarter video calls with improved lighting and noise reduction to faster search and productivity workflows, AI works quietly in the background to make daily use smoother.
With support for Copilot+ and on-device AI acceleration, the new XPS laptops are ready for the next generation of intelligent applications, helping users create, collaborate, and communicate more efficiently.
Immersive Displays and Audio
Dell continues its display leadership with stunning InfinityEdge panels designed to balance visual impact and power efficiency. Users can choose between power-saving 2K LCDs or vibrant OLED options up to 3.2K resolution, offering 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage, Dolby Vision, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black certification.
Variable refresh rates, ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz on LCD and 20Hz to 120Hz on OLED. Dynamically adjust to content, delivering smooth visuals while conserving battery life. Eyesafe® technology further enhances comfort by reducing harmful blue light without distorting colour accuracy.
Audio is equally immersive, thanks to a hidden 10W quad-speaker system tuned with Dolby Atmos and Waves MaxxAudio®. With no visible speaker grilles, the design remains clean while delivering rich, room-filling sound for movies, music, and games. A redesigned 8MP webcam with 1080p HDR video ensures sharp, clear video calls, supported by Windows Hello for secure, seamless sign-in.
Designed for Sustainability and Longevity
Sustainability is woven into every aspect of the new XPS 14 and 16. Both laptops are ENERGY STAR® certified and EPEAT Gold registered with Climate+, featuring extensive use of recycled and low-emissions materials from recycled aluminium and steel to recycled cobalt in the battery. Packaging is made from 100% recycled or renewable materials, reinforcing Dell’s commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Designed for circularity, the laptops also feature modular components for easier repairs and longer lifespans, helping users transition seamlessly from old to new technology when the time comes.
Premium Mobility, Reimagined
With the launch of the XPS 14 and XPS 16, Dell is redefining what premium mobility looks like in 2025. Combining ultra-thin design, powerful and efficient performance, immersive displays, practical AI, and sustainable engineering, the new XPS lineup is built for users who demand more from their laptops.
From creative professionals to frequent travellers, the XPS 14 and 16 are designed to move as effortlessly as the people who use them.
