Dell XPS 14 2026 review: Fully reborn with Intel Panther Lake X7

[FlexUser]

so comparing this with the expertbook ultra which has the same rating!?
this xps is slower, way heavier and bulkier, a useless smaller totally reflective screen, sh*tty port selection etc..
and now tell us, why!

I am not sure if this is the reason that merits an equal store, but an XPS will survive an Expertbook by a magnitude of three.

i ahgree with X and the other posters in this comment - i can tell we are very similar people. good job fighting the good fight!

this is BY FAR the worst laptop ever built! its mind blowing!!!! first off, it cannot sustain peak power draw!!! that is a FAILURE of design!!! any drop in power draw or clock speed at any point = failure. next, fans?! it is mind boggling to me that dell is still using fans in 2026. don't they see the macbook air??? passive cooling is the new norm. FAILURE.

battery life is VERY bad compared to macbooks air and other laptops too. i don't think its because of the oled because they use oleds on phones and those last for a LONG TIME. also, why is it so heavy??? again dell needs to wake up and look at the macbook air. i will never use a laptop unless it is 0.7kg or lighter!!! and the graphics... their supposed to be good!!! but it doesnt even break 10k in time spy... LOL!!! once again, another failure...

again, thank uyou posters like X and oops and the other guys - thank you for agreeing with me. we need people to know what is good!!! and this is not it!!!
