HP used CES 2026 to make a decisive push into the Copilot+ era: a broad hardware refresh that stitches on‑device AI, fleet manageability, printer intelligence, and new consumer lines into a coherent strategy designed for hybrid work and mixed on‑device/cloud AI workflows.

Headline: Dell’s XPS comeback at CES 2026 — what it means for Windows 11, buyers, and the PC market
Lead paragraph
Dell has quietly — and quickly — reversed course on a controversial 2025 rebrand by bringing the XPS premium laptop family back into its lineup at CES 2026. The relaunch (anchored...
Dell’s return to the XPS name at CES 2026 wasn’t a quiet rebrand correction — it was an admission of error, a design reset and a wholesale product reboot that readmits one of the PC industry’s most recognisable badges back into the premium Windows laptop arena. Background: why this matters (and...
Dell has quietly but unmistakably bowed to a chorus of criticism and brought the XPS name back into its premium laptop lineup — this time with a full redesign that pairs a more conventional, user-friendly input layout with modern AI-ready silicon and a renewed focus on build quality and battery...
Dell’s 2025 laptop lineup is both familiar and brand-new: the familiar family of Inspiron, XPS, Latitude and Precision has been reorganized, while the company’s best models — from the mainstream Dell 14 Plus to the high-end Precision/Pro Max workstations and Alienware gaming rigs — remain the...
Dell’s new 14-inch convertible makes a strong case for being the company’s most advanced hybrid for the UK market, blending next‑generation Intel Core Ultra silicon, onboard AI acceleration, Intel Arc graphics, and a polished convertible chassis that targets mobile professionals and creators who...
If you need to wipe, refresh, or completely restore a Dell laptop running Windows 10, there are multiple safe, supported ways to do it — from the Settings app and Windows Recovery Environment to BIOS/SupportAssist tools and command-line tricks — and each path has trade‑offs you should understand...
Dell’s new 14-inch convertible has arrived at an opportune moment: the Dell 14 Plus 2‑in‑1 is surfacing as a practical, well‑priced Copilot+ convertible that could legitimately climb to the top of Canada’s hybrid laptop segment — but the claim that it will become a “top seller” needs to be...
Dell’s convertible ambitions for the 14‑inch market have graduated from rumor into reality: the Dell 14 Plus 2‑in‑1 is listed on Dell’s regional storefronts and major retailers with Copilot+ AI readiness, Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen AI options, integrated Intel Arc or Radeon graphics, Wi‑Fi 7...
Dell overhauled its naming, packed AI into PC marketing, and folded long-standing lines like XPS and Latitude into three simple families — but the result still leaves buyers asking the same questions: which Dell laptop is actually right for me? This deep-dive unpacks the 2025 rebrand, decodes...
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint began firing repeated alerts telling users to update Dell machines’ BIOS — a false positive caused by a logic bug in Defender’s vulnerability-fetching code — and although Microsoft says a fix has been developed, administrators are left juggling alert fatigue...
Microsoft is pouring megabucks and marketing muscle into a narrative that Copilot+ PCs — Windows machines with on-device neural engines and specially tuned Windows subsystems — will remake personal and enterprise computing. The message is clear: these machines are faster than Macs, sip far less...

Windows 11’s hardware rules mean you can’t treat compatibility as a single checkbox — it’s a chain of interlocking requirements (TPM 2.0, UEFI/Secure Boot, a supported CPU, enough RAM and storage) that together determine whether a Dell laptop can be upgraded safely and with vendor support. The...

The Dell 14 Plus arrives not as a headline-stealer but as a steady, unimaginative workhorse: modestly priced, competent where it needs to be, and unapologetically conservative in every visible choice. For buyers whose priority is reliability over razzle-dazzle—IT fleets, students, knowledge...
Dell’s latest quarter reads like a two-act play: a booming data‑center business buoyed by AI-optimized servers that pushed record revenue, and a more muted PC market that — despite an imminent Windows 10 end‑of‑life — is unfolding as a multi‑quarter refresh rather than a single sprint...

The Dell Precision 5550 spec sheet that appears in the teamduval.org listing — claiming a 10th‑generation Intel Core i7‑10850H, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, NVIDIA Quadro T1000 and Windows 11 Professional in a 15.6‑inch mobile workstation chassis — largely matches configurations Dell offered for...
Microsoft partners’ marketing materials briefly set off a flurry of headlines claiming Windows 11 would get Wi‑Fi 7 support in a spring “24H1” update — but the public record and vendor guidance tell a different, more complex story about timing, drivers, and what it will actually take to get...
NVIDIA’s push to put Blackwell-class acceleration into standard racks reached a new inflection point this week with the launch of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition and a family of factory-validated 2U RTX Pro servers from major OEMs — a move designed to make on‑premises AI and...
Dell’s push into AI-ready PCs — and Haidi Nossair’s argument that this shift is fast becoming a competitive necessity rather than an optional refresh — captures a broader industry inflection where the endpoint is again being recast as strategic infrastructure for the enterprise. The conversation...
