Dell’s gone all-in with this new batch of laptops. They’re rolling out these grand new things—14-inch and 16-inch models, calling them “Premium.” Kinda makes you wonder if they ever run out of dramatic names. Anyway, these babies come decked out with the latest Arrow Lake-H processors and RTX 50 series GPUs. Sounds fancy, right?
So, these Dell 14 and 16 models have had a bit of a glow-up. They’ve now got slightly bigger screens—14.5 inches and 16.3 inches, to be exact—and they’re still sticking with those sleek XPS vibes. More screen space without growing the overall size? I mean, who wouldn’t love that?
Now, let’s talk specs. The Dell 14 Premium gives you three setups. There’s this Core Ultra 7 processor that’s like a beast with 16 cores. You can choose between Intel Arc graphics or the fancy RTX 4050. And then, it’s all about memory and storage—16 GB and 512 GB, or you can beef it up to 32 GB and 1 TB. Plus, it’s got this wicked 2K screen that’s super bright at 500 nits with a 120Hz refresh rate. Kinda makes my old screen look like an Etch A Sketch!
The thing’s so lightweight, you might forget you’re carrying it—somewhere between 1.63 and 1.72 kg. And then there’s the battery—lasts up to 20 hours. Imagine binge-watching your favorite series and still having juice left.
The Dell 16 Premium takes it up a notch with 27 hours of battery life. That’s like watching the entire LOTR extended trilogy… twice! It’s got the GeForce RTX 5060 and either that same Ultra 7 or an Ultra 9 processor, so yeah, it’s built for the big shots.
Price-wise, the Dell 14 Premium starts at $1,649. Upgrades will cost extra, like a jump to $2,449 if you fancy a 3.2K OLED display. The Dell 16 Premium? You’re looking at $2,699 with one setup, or over $3,000 if you go all out with the Core Ultra 9 and 4K OLED configs.
They’ve teased more models with different graphics configurations down the line. But honestly, with these specs and prices, it’s like they’re inviting you to blow your budget. Feels like Dell’s setting a whole new stage—one laptop at a time.
