The earth spins, the seasons turn, and Dell updates its best laptops. For 2024, Dell decided that minimalist chic was in fashion and adopted a clean, simple look and feel for its XPS models. The powerhouse model here is the XPS 16 (9640), a glass and aluminium-clad device that will be well-suited for those who want a powerful laptop that can be taken with you when needed.
If the XPS 16 name sounds a bit unfamiliar, Dell has changed the XPS lineup to reflect the shrinking size of the range. Previously we had the XPS 17, but the new XPS 16 features a 16.3-inch diagonal display with smaller bezels (3mm/0.1in on the sides and 5mm/0.19in on the top). That makes for a smaller laptop, but it's still a big and bulky laptop, at 2.2kgs (4.8lbs). That’s only a slight reduction from the XPS 17 in 2023.
