Our Verdict
Dell XPS 15 (2023)
Dell XPS 14 (2024)
The Dell XPS 14 (2024) is a new addition to the XPS lineup and replaces the Dell XPS 15 (2023). While the 14-inch model is more compact and easier to carry, its new design may not be to everyone's liking. For example, its edge-to-edge keys and invisible touchpad both require a fair amount of adaptation to use properly. The 14-inch model also takes a step back in its port selection, ditching the 15-inch's full-size SD card reader for a MicroSD reader. Performance-wise, you can get more performance out of the older 15-inch model if you go with the higher-end configurations. That said, the 14-inch model's Intel Meteor Lake CPUs are more efficient, resulting in much longer battery life and better thermals.
