Dell Unveils “Dell Premium” Series Laptops Featuring Core Ultra 200H and GeForce RTX 50 GPUs

Okay, so here’s the weird thing I noticed about laptops lately. I mean, have you seen these new Dell ones? They’ve rolled out some fancy series — you know, with those Arrow Lake-H processors and whatnot. And, oh, the GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs. I can barely keep up!

Right, let’s dive into the chaos of this. So, Dell decided to give their teensy 14-inch and 16-inch models a little, um, makeover. Bigger screens, yeah, but just slightly. Like someone whispered, “Hey, let’s stretch these a bit!” So they slapped on the “Dell Premium” label. Sounds shiny, doesn’t it?

Now, they’re still hanging onto that XPS vibe — classic looks and all. But the funny part? The “bigger” screens. The 14-inch is now like 14.5 inches. Woohoo! And the 16-inch? Woo, 16.3 inches! Crazy! Not seeing extra bulk though, which is nice. These InfinityEdge things — not that I totally understand them — make it all immersive without turning your laptop into a small spaceship.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, configurations. The Dell 14 Premium. It’s like a buffet. Got the Core Ultra 7 255H, a hefty 16-core brain for those number-crunching days. And then you can pick between Intel Arc graphics or the RTX 4050. Memory options are like spinning a wheel. 16 GB/512 GB or 32 GB/1 TB. But hey, whoever needs all those specs to sound the same, right? It’s all about those 2K displays with brightness so blinding it hits 500 nits on IPS panels running at 120Hz. Talk about crispy.

Lightweights unite — these laptops barely tickle the scales at 1.63-1.72 kg. You could lug it around and not even feel it. Plus, the battery goes on and on, sort of like my rambling. 20 hours for the Dell 14 Premium, and if you’re up for the Dell 16 Premium adventure, you might get 27 hours. Imagine the escapades! It’s packing GeForce RTX 5060 heat alongside the Core Ultra 7 255H, or beef it up to Core Ultra 9 285H if you’re feeling fancy.

Prices, oh man, they’re all over. The 14 Premium kicks off at $1,649. That’s for the ho-hum Intel Arc iGPU, 16 GB LPDDR5X memory, with a decent 512 GB SSD. Spice it with RTX 4050 and you’re looking at $2,249. A lustrous 3.2K OLED display tips the scale to $2,449. I can’t even fathom all these upgrades!

And for the big spender’s club, the Dell 16 Premium? It’s got the Core Ultra 7 255H with GeForce RTX 5060 and a 16.3″ non-touch 2K display for $2,699. Get touchscreen 4K OLED flair, kick it up with Core Ultra 9 285H, and it’s a whopping $3,049. Future models with Intel Arc graphics might go easy on the wallet, but slap the GeForce RTX 5070 in and you’re probably in the $2,700 to $3,000 ballpark.

And there I went, bought a basic one last year. Go figure! Anyway, if you’re buying one, kudos. Maybe I missed something here, but oh well. Laptops, right? They just keep morphing!
