Nvidia plans a consumer PC comeback by introducing AI-focused laptop chips later this year in models from Dell and Lenovo, with partners MediaTek and Intel to power next-gen Windows PCs, signaling a broader shift beyond its data-center business.
Dell’s 2026 XPS 14 adopts a MacBook Air–like silhouette and strong iGPU performance across its X7/X9 variants (with an OLED option), but it’s hampered by an awkward seamless keyboard, soldered RAM, and only three Thunderbolt 4 ports. At around $2,200 for the high-end config, it competes with Apple’s laptops on price while offering limited I/O and mixed keyboard comfort, making it a strong graphics machine with a few notable compromises.
Dell’s XPS 14 Core Ultra 7 355 offers a refined, well‑built chassis, improved design and solid battery life with a sharp 1200p IPS display, but its 4‑core Xe3 iGPU is noticeably slower and less efficient than the flagship X7 358H. It’s a strong midrange choice for everyday tasks and multimedia at about $1,700, but creators and gamers should consider the higher‑end X7 for better graphics performance, and you’ll miss a MicroSD reader and camera shutter (with some fan noise reported).
Dell's new XPS 14 posts a record 21 hours 20 minutes of battery life in Tom's Guide's lab test—the longest seen on a Windows laptop—thanks to a Panther Lake-based Core Ultra 7 355, 16GB RAM and a 14-inch LED panel. The entry-level model ($1,699; shipping Feb 19) trails Intel's promised 27 hours but beats the Dell XPS 13 with Snapdragon X Elite and other rivals, signaling Windows endurance has caught up with Apple's MacBooks. Dell says the XPS 14 offers best battery life among Windows laptops, though Apple may respond with future M-series upgrades.
President Trump will headline a day-long Washington summit with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and philanthropist Michael Dell to promote Trump Accounts, a new tax-advantaged savings vehicle for children. The program would start with a $1,000 Treasury pilot for children born 2025–2028, allow up to $5,000 in annual parental contributions and $2,500 from employers, and is bolstered by philanthropic gifts from Dell and Ray Dalio, among others, with a Main Street focus as the 2026 tax-filing season opens.
Lenovo’s update page and leaks point to Nvidia’s own Arm-powered N1/N1X Windows laptops. Lenovo lists six models (including a 15-inch Legion gaming laptop) and other leaks hint at Dell/Alienware variants, potentially bringing the lineup to eight devices. A spring 2026 launch with more devices arriving later that summer is expected, signaling Nvidia’s first in-house Arm PC platform and a move to compete with Intel-based Windows laptops.
