I went hands-on with Dell’s new slim laptops, and the new 14S hits a sweet spot below XPS prices

Dell previewed the new 14S and 16S slim laptops with thin aluminum bodies, larger batteries, and improved port selection.

Both models offer OLED display options and Intel Core Ultra processors, including higher-end chip choices for better performance.

Dell is positioning the 14S and 16S above the XPS 13 but below the XPS 14, aiming to fill the gap with premium-feeling laptops at lower prices.
