CES 2026: Dell XPS is back from the dead

Dell is reviving the XPS laptop brand just a year after replacing it with the "Dell Premium" line. As part of its un-rebranding, the American tech company is launching revamped XPS 14 and XPS 16 laptops with thinner-than-ever designs and unrivaled battery lives. Both PCs will have the XPS logo on their lids for the first time and, crucially, a physical function row, scrapping one of their lineage's most controversial features.

Dell announced the return of XPS at CES 2026 Monday, though the news leaked days prior.
