Dell Relaunches XPS 13 With New Intel Chip After Brief Retirement of Brand
The Verge reports Dell has reintroduced the XPS 13 laptop, months after resurrecting the wider XPS line with the XPS 14 and 16.
Dell has released a new version of its XPS 13 laptop, according to a review published by The Verge, marking the return of a model the company had earlier signaled it would discontinue.
The Verge's review states that Dell's previous XPS 13 was intended as a farewell edition before the company planned to sunset the XPS brand entirely. That final version was described in the review as "a bitter ending" and "overpriced."
Earlier this year, Dell reversed course and revived the XPS name with the launch of the XPS 14 and XPS 16 models, which The Verge's review characterized as "excellent" though "very expensive."
According to details referenced in the review's web address, the new XPS 13 is associated with the 2026 model year and features Intel's "Wildcat Lake" processor, with configurations offering 8GB and 16GB of memory.
The Verge's headline for the review suggests the new XPS 13 is positioned as a stronger competitor to Apple's MacBook lineup than previous Dell laptops, though further specifics from the full review were not included in the available excerpt.
Dell has not issued a separate public statement regarding the relaunch beyond what is reflected in the review coverage.
