The Dell XPS brand is set to make a grand return at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, according to exclusive sources from VideoCardz. While Dell hasn't officially confirmed the XPS revival, the buzz is on, and the tech world is abuzz with anticipation.
In 2025, Dell made a strategic shift away from the XPS branding, introducing a streamlined naming system centered around Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max tiers. The 'Premium' tier was positioned as the successor, carrying the XPS legacy forward. This transition was evident in the launch of the Dell 14 Premium and Dell 16 Premium in mid-2025, replacing the XPS 14 and XPS 16 as the new flagship consumer models.
The upcoming CES 2026 presentation suggests that Dell will unveil a refreshed XPS lineup, likely featuring the Core Ultra 300 'Panther Lake' processor, set to be announced on January 5. However, a leaked 2024 roadmap hinted at a more complex strategy, suggesting Dell's intention to incorporate both AMD and Qualcomm chips in its XPS line.
Stay tuned for more details next week as we uncover the full scope of Dell's XPS revival at CES 2026. Will this new iteration live up to the XPS legacy? The tech community eagerly awaits the unveiling, sparking discussions and debates among enthusiasts and industry experts alike.
