Okay, so picture this: Dell just rolled out some new laptops, and they’re throwing around these buzzwords like Arrow Lake-H processors and GeForce RTX 50 GPUs. Fancy, right? But let me backtrack a second, ‘cause that’s not the whole story.
Dell’s got these “Premium” rigs now, basically taking their Dell 14 and 16 models and jazzing them up. They’re not just slapping a new name on there; we’re talking slightly larger screens – like, just a bit bigger, not the size of a jumbo jet or anything. The 14-inch? Now 14.5 inches. And the 16-inch? Well, you guessed it, 16.3 inches. The screens are what they call InfinityEdge, which kinda sounds like marketing speak for “more screen, less… not-screen,” if that makes sense.
Now, if you’re a specs person, the Dell 14 Premium offers a trio of setups. One’s got this Core Ultra 7, basically a beast with 16 cores. And you can pick between this Intel Arc graphics or go full throttle with a GeForce RTX 4050. Memory’s like a buffet too – choose between 16 GB/512 GB or 32 GB/1 TB. Oh, and the display? It’s all 2K and bright as your future at 500 nits, going up to 120Hz. No clue why I remember that refresh rate, stuck in my head for some reason.
These things are light as a feather – well, approx. 1.63 to 1.72 kg, if feathers weighed that much. Battery life? Ridiculously long. Like, 20 hours for the 14-inch. The big sibling, the Dell 16 Premium, goes bananas with up to 27 hours. It’s got the GeForce RTX 5060 and this Core Ultra 9 option that sounds like an over-caffeinated hamster on a wheel, in the best way possible.
Pricing? Here’s the kicker: starts at $1,649 for the basic version. But if you’re feeling like splurging, there’s one with RTX 4050, 32 GB memory, and this dream of a 3.2K OLED display for $2,449. The Dell 16 Premium isn’t playin’ around either – at $2,699 to start, and then there’s a tricked-out version at $3,049 with all the bells and whistles, 4K OLED and all that jazz.
So, that’s the lowdown – or high-ground? I dunno. But these laptops sure are something to talk about.
