'It won’t be converting any Apple fans' — the new Dell XPS 14 is a great laptop, but Windows 11 holds it back
The Dell XPS 14 (2026) is back, and it’s easily one of the best Windows 11 laptops you can buy right now. It’s a great showcase for Intel’s Panther Lake hardware, and the fact that it’ll run games despite only having integrated graphics is seriously impressive. However, it doesn’t quite hit the heights of the latest MacBook Pro, and it does feel like Windows 11 is holding it back. If you like Windows, this is a great laptop, but it won’t be converting any Apple fans.
Pros
- +Excellent redesign
- +Very good performance
- +OLED version looks fantastic
Cons
- -Only three USB-C ports
- -Windows 11 feels bloated
- -Still no AI killer app
