The company shook up the lineup in 2022 with the introduction of the Dell XPS 13 Plus featuring a new (and kind of weird) keyboard and trackpad design, as well as a cheaper, lower-performance Dell XPS 13 with 9-watt, 12th-gen Intel Core processor options. Now Dell is shaking things up again in two big ways. The first is that Dell is going all-in on the Plus-style design. All of the company's 2024 Dell XPS laptops feature the new keyboard and touchpad style. The second is screen size: Dell is killing off the XPS 15 and XPS 13 2-in-1 models, but introducing two new screen sizes. Say hello to the new Dell XPS 13, XPS 14, and XPS 16.[xps-2024_04-780x325] That means the 2024 Dell XPS family now comes in three screen sizes. The Dell XPS 13 (9340) is a 13.3 inch laptop with a starting weight of just 2.6 pounds, 14th-gen Intel Core Ultra 5 and Core Ultra 7 H-series processor options, and a $1300 starting price. [xps-13_01-780x454]Dell XPS 13 (9340) The new Dell XPS 14 (9440), meanwhile, has a 14.5 inch display, a Core Ultra 7 processor, and a starting weight of 3.7 pounds. But there's a good reason for that extra weight: this model has a bigger battery and optional support for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 graphics. Prices start at $1700. [xps-14_02-780x475]Dell XPS 14 (9440) And the Dell XPS 16 (9640) is the biggest of the bunch, with support for up to a 16 inch, 4K display, up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, and up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics. It's also the heaviest and most expensive, at 4.7 pounds or more, and $1900 and up. [xps-16_03-676x500]Dell XPS 16 (9640) All of the new laptops are available with a choice of non-touchscreen LCD displays with 120 Hz screen refresh rates or OLED displays (with resolutions and refresh rates that vary from model to model). They also all feature quad speakers with two primary speakers and two tweeters, Dolby Atmos audio, fingerprint sensors, and 1080p IR webcams with support for Windows Hello face recognition. Each model has at least two Thunderbolt 4 ports for charging, video output, and data... but those two Thunderbolt ports are the only ports on the new XPS 13. If you want a dedicated headphone jack or microSD card reader, you're going to have to opt for one of the larger models. And if you want any other ports, you're going to need a dock or hub. But what I suspect will be the most controversial thing about these laptops is Dell's decision to go all-in on the XPS Plus-style keyboard and touchpad, which features wide keycaps with a "zero-lattice" design and an ambient light sensor that allows for automatic backlight adjustment. Above the physical keys are a set of capacitive touch Fn keys. The nice thing about making these capacitive buttons is that you can hit the Fn key to change the labels depending on whether you want to see the F1 - F12 keys or media control keys. The weird thing about this choice is that the keys don't move, which could make them a little harder to press when you're not actually looking at the keyboard. [xps13_04b-150x104] Dell XPS 13 (9340) [xps-13_04-150x104] Dell XPS 13 (9340) [xps-13_05-150x113] Dell XPS 13 (9340) The laptops also feature a seamless glass palm rest, which means that the glass-covered touchpad blends in with the rest of the palm rest, which could make it tricky to tell when you're at the edge of the keyboard without looking, although Dell notes that the touchpad does support haptic feedback. I'm sure, like any new(ish) keyboard and touchpad design, it's the sort of thing you get used to over time. But I'm a little surprised to see Dell go all-in on this design. Here's a run-down of some key specs for the Dell XPS 2024 laptop lineup: Dell XPS 13 (9340) Dell XPS 14 (9440) Dell XPS 16 (9640) 13.4 inches 14.5 inches 16.3 inches * 1920 x 1200, 120 Hz * 1920 x 1200, * 1920 x 1200, non-touch LCD 120 Hz 120 Hz Display * 2560 x 1600, non-touch LCD non-touch LCD 120 Hz * 3200 x 2000, * 3840 x 2400, 90 touchscreen LCD 120 Hz Hz touchscreen * 2880 x 1800, 60 touchscreen OLED Hz touchscreen OLED OLED * Intel Core * Intel Core Ultra 5 125H * Intel Core Ultra 7 155H * Intel Core Ultra 7 155H * Intel Core Processor Ultra 7 155H * Intel Core Ultra 7 165H * Intel Core Ultra 7 165H * Intel Core Ultra 7 165H Ultra 9 185H * Intel Arc * NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 (6GB * Intel Arc GDDR6, 50W) Intel Xe / Intel * NVIDIA GeForce * NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Arc RTX 4050M (6GB RTX 4060 (8GB GDDR6, 30W) GDDR6, 50W) * NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 (8GB GDDR6, 60W) 16GB / 32GB / 64GB 16GB / 32GB / 64GB * 8GB LPDDR5-6400 * 16GB / 32GB / * LPDDR5x-6400 * LPDDR5x-6400 RAM 64GB (Intel GPU) (Intel, 4050, LPDDR5x-7467 * LPDDR5x-7467 or 4060 GPU) (NVIDIA GPU) * LPDDR5x-7467 (4070 GPU) Storage 512GB / 1TB / 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD Intel Killer 1750 Intel Killer 1675 Intel Killer 1750 Wireless (BE2200) WiFi 6E (BE2200) WiFi 7 BT 5.3 WiFi 7 BT 5.4 BT 5.4 2 x Thunderbolt 4 3 x Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Ports (DisplayPort 2.1 Mode) Alt Mode) 1 x 3.5mm audio 1 x microSD card reader Webcam 1080p Quad speakers Quad speakers Audio 2 x 2W main 2 x 3W main 2 x 2W tweeters 2 x 2W tweeters dual microphones dual microphones Battery 55 Wh 69.5 Wh 99.9 Wh * 60W USB-C adapter (w/ integrated GPU) Charging 60W USB-C adapter * 100W USB-C 130W USB-C adapter adapter (w/ NVIDIA GPU) Backlit zero-lattice keyboard w/ambient light sensor Input 1mm key travel Capacitive touch function row Glass haptic touchpad Security Fingerprint reader Windows Hello IR camera Materials Aluminum with Gorilla Glass 3 palm rest Dimensions 295 x 199 x 15mm 320 x 216 x 18mm 358 x 240 x 19mm 11.6'' x 7.8'' x 0.6'' 12.6'' x 8.5'' x 0.7'' 14.1'' x 9.4'' x 0.7'' Starting 1.19 kg 1.68 kg 2.13 kg Weight 2.6 pounds 3.7 pounds 4.7 pounds Starting $1300 $1700 $1900 Price Dell says all three new laptops will be available in a choice of platinum silver or graphite color options, and all three should be available starting in the first quarter of 2024.

[8297e04] Douglas Black says: 01/04/2024 at 5:04 PM Completely the wrong direction, IMO. Don't get me wrong, they look great, but man did they give up the lead to Asus for ultraportable, stylish professional PC laptops. The loss of 2 SSD bays and function keys are huge. Reply 4. [4b73526] Some Guy says: 01/04/2024 at 8:42 AM The fact that Dell is doubling down on these horrible designs is emblematic of the fact that computer shopping has ceased to be about how much cool stuff you can get and has instead become about how much suffering and evil you can afford to avoid. And if not that, then at least it might indicate that they've paid too much for tooling and convinced themselves they can't afford to move to a feature set that makes sense for a few years yet.
