As AI PCs become increasingly mainstream, laptop makers are pushing premium features into more accessible price segments. Dell Technologies is betting that Indian consumers are ready for that transition. The company has unveiled one of its biggest consumer portfolio refreshes in the country, introducing a new lineup of XPS, Dell and Alienware laptops aimed at students, professionals, creators and gamers.
Dell Expands AI PC Portfolio Across Segments
Leading the launch is the new Dell XPS 13, which the company says is the thinnest and lightest XPS laptop it has ever built. Weighing around 1kg and measuring just 12.7mm thick, the ultraportable is designed for users seeking a premium Windows experience without sacrificing performance. It is powered by Intel Core Series 3 processors at launch, with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 variants arriving later. The laptop also features up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, a 2.5K InfinityEdge touchscreen display with a variable 30Hz–120Hz refresh rate, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and a claimed battery life of up to 17 hours of video streaming.
Dell has also expanded its AI PC portfolio with the new Dell 14S and Dell 16S. Both laptops are powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 or AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series processors and feature dedicated NPUs capable of delivering up to 50 TOPS of AI performance, enabling Copilot+ PC experiences on-device. According to the company, the laptops are designed to balance AI-powered productivity, battery life and portability, while also offering OLED display options, modern connectivity and recycled materials as part of Dell's sustainability efforts.
