Dell Revives Beloved XPS Laptops Amidst Rebranding Fiasco
In a shocking move, Dell has revived its iconic XPS lineup after the company's ill-fated rebranding attempt last year. The decision comes as a welcome relief for fans of the brand, who had grown increasingly confused by the simplified naming scheme.
The new XPS 14 and 16 notebooks boast a more practical design than their predecessors, featuring a traditional function row with keys instead of capacitive buttons that proved to be a nuisance in sunlight. Additionally, the company has reintroduced the XPS logo on all these machines, a move that signifies Dell's commitment to the brand.
In terms of hardware, both models have seen significant upgrades. The XPS 14 weighs in at just three pounds, while the XPS 16 tips the scales at 3.6 pounds, marking a notable weight reduction compared to their predecessors. Both systems are powered by Intel's new Panther Lake Core Ultra Series 3 chips and offer tandem OLED display options.
Furthermore, Dell has hinted at the return of its thinnest and lightest notebook yet, the XPS 13, which is set to be cheaper than previous models. While no release date has been announced for the XPS 13, fans can expect lower-end configurations with reduced specs in February.
The new XPS 14 and 16 will hit stores on January 6, starting at $2,050 and $2,200, respectively. This marks a return to form for Dell's flagship line, which had been marred by the company's failed rebranding attempt last year. As such, it's clear that Dell is committed to reviving its XPS lineup in all its former glory.

Dell finally listened to their fans and came back from the brink of disaster with their rebranding attempt last year. The new XPS 14 and 16 laptops are basically a breath of fresh air - traditional function keys instead of those annoying capacitive buttons that were just plain frustrating in sunlight. And can we talk about how much I love that they brought back the iconic XPS logo? It's like, Dell is saying "we hear you guys" and making amends.
It's just a desperate attempt to cling to their past success and appease fans. And $2,050 is still way out of budget for most people. They should've just stuck with what they had. The new XPS 13 better be worth it if it comes at a lower price point... I'm not holding my breath 
! I mean, who needs a fancy new name when you've got an iconic design like that? The capacitive buttons were such a weird change, and I'm loving that Dell went back to the traditional function row. It's all about balance, right? Too much change can be overwhelming, but it seems like Dell is going for a more laid-back vibe with these new models 
. And let's talk about the weight reduction – 3 pounds is no joke! That thing should glide across your lap like a hot knife through butter 
. Now, I'm curious to see what they do with the XPS 13... fingers crossed it comes in at a price point that won't break the bank 
, can't wait to get my hands on these bad boys!
I mean who thought it was a good idea to ditch the XPS logo? anyway, it's clear that they've listened to fan feedback and are bringing back the traditional design 
just hope they deliver on their promises with the new XPS 13. fingers crossed it's going to be cheaper than the last one 
.
. And with Intel's new chips and OLED display options, I'm expecting some serious performance upgrades 
.
It's like they're giving fans a little present in February. Let's hope it's not just a cheapened version of the original, but actually a real upgrade 
.
but now thats changed & im so confused again lol why did they do a rebranding thing in the first place tho? anyway, glad they brought back the xps logo 
and those new specs sound fire
