Ahead of CES 2024, Dell has revealed that it will introduce three new models to its XPS series, each one with AI-powered performance and features. The trio consists of the XPS 13, XPS 14, and XPS 16. Before we get into what makes each model unique, let’s go over what features they share.
All laptops will be powered by an Intel Core Ultra processor. The CPU will house an AI acceleration engine alongside a neural processing unit (NPU). The NPU can be considered a third resource, which is separate from the processor and graphics card that the laptop can access. The NPU will alleviate some of the laptop’s workload while helping the battery maintain its longevity. What’s more, the models will have ExpressCharge software, allowing users to recharge their computer from zero to 80% in about an hour.
As for AI, the most prominent–and, arguably, game-changing–feature is Windows Copilot, an on-device assistant that can answer all of your burning questions, create content, or help run certain commands, among other things. There will even be a special button on the keyboard to launch the assistant quickly.
As for the differences between the devices, everything comes down to the different designs of the XPS laptops. The XPS 13, for example, is the lightest of the bunch, clocking in at a measly 2.6 pounds. Contrasting its featherweight frame, it will house a powerful 3K Plus resolution OLED touchscreen, with options for Full HD Plus and Quad HD Plus resolution screens if you want something a little cheaper. If any of this setup sounds familiar, that’s because the approach is similar to 2023’s XPS 13 Plus. In fact, the laptops look very similar.
