Dell has recently announced a permanent price cut of $200 on their XPS 14 and XPS 16 laptops. This decision comes after feedback from customers and reviewers regarding the high prices of these models earlier this year.
The price drop applies to all configurations of the laptops, making them more affordable for consumers. For example, the XPS 14 with an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, and a 3.2K OLED display now costs $2,500 instead of $2,700. Similarly, the higher-end XPS 16 with similar specs but with a GeForce RTX 4070 and 4K OLED display now costs $3,200, down from $3,400.
Even the lower-end configurations of the laptops are $200 cheaper, offering a better saving percentage-wise. The base XPS 16, starting at $1,900, is now priced at $1,700, while the base 14-inch model has dropped from $1,700 to $1,500.
Despite the price cut, these laptops are still in the same price range as the higher-end models of the MacBook Pro M3. However, this move by Dell shows that they have listened to customer feedback and are willing to adjust their pricing to remain competitive in the market.
The Dell XPS 14 and XPS 16 are known for their high-quality screens, powerful performance, and sleek design. They also offer reliable connectivity options. However, some users have criticized the invisible trackpad and capacitive top row buttons that can be difficult to use in bright sunlight.
Overall, the price cut on the XPS 14 and XPS 16 laptops makes them a more attractive option for consumers looking for premium Windows laptops. With the combination of performance, design, and now more affordable pricing, these models are worth considering for those in the market for a new laptop.
