The Dell Alienware Area-51 Desktop is Getting Refreshed with Intel’s and AMD’s Most Advanced Processors
At Computex 2017 earlier this month, we heard a lot about the AMD Ryzen Threadripper and the Intel Core X i9, two superpowered processors built for gamers and streamers. This week at E3 in Los Angeles, those monsters are being put to good use. Dell is refreshing their triangular tower PC, the Alienware Area-51, and they’re […]

Alienware is Getting Back into Gaming Peripherals with New Mice, Keyboards, and Monitors
Dell’s gaming brand, Alienware, has been out of the peripheral game for years now, but with a resurgence of interest in gaming thanks to esports, looks like the time is right for them to hop back in. Dell is announcing new keyboards, mice, and monitors at E3 2017 this week, with options for both the […]

The Dell Inspiron Gaming Desktop Can Power Virtual Reality Headsets on the Cheap
The initial wave of VR was held back by the need for expensive desktop PCs to supply the computing power. At Computex 2017, we’re seeing that cost come down significantly. Dell is doing their part with the Inspiron Gaming Desktop, a tower PC with AMD CPUs and GPUs, that starts at just $600. That’s super […]

The New Dell Inspiron All-in-One PCs are Powered by AMD and Look Like Incredible Values
If there’s one thing we can take away from Computex 2017, it’s this — AMD is back. Relegated to budget PCs that went virtually unmarketed for years now, the chipmaker is bursting back onto the scene with their Ryzen processors. Dell is joining in on the fun with two new all-in-one PCs — the Inspiron 24 5000 […]

The Dell UltraSharp 27 4K HDR Monitor is a Creative’s Dream
At CES earlier this year, Dell showed off an 8K monitor useful (arguably) to a very small subset of professionals. But, besides the resolution overkill, there was a lot to like about that monitor, especially its wide-gamut color reproduction. Dell’s getting a bit more down to earth today, introducing a similar 4K display that excels […]

The Dell Canvas is a Giant Touchscreen Workstation For Digital Artists
We thought the Microsoft Surface Studio was the perfect workstation for digital artists, but Dell is giving us something to think about at CES 2017. The Dell Canvas is not quite the same kind of machine that the Studio is, although there are some striking similarities between the two. The main problem with the Studio […]

The Dell XPS 27 is an All-In-One with Seriously Good Speakers
Dell unveiled a brand new all-in-one PC this morning with the help of The Glitch Mob, in what may have been one of the earliest morning live electronic music performances ever.

Dell is Just Showing Off With This 32-Inch 8K Monitor
At CES 2017 today, Dell had something useful to almost nobody. Their UltraSharp 32 Ultra HD 8K Monitor was built just because it was cool and Dell could do it — and hey, isn’t that what CES is all about? 8K resolution — 7680 x 4320 — is far beyond what most people need on a display. There’s even some […]

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming is an Affordable Gaming Laptop That Doesn’t Suck
For a while there, the affordable gaming laptop was on the way out — we were seeing either laptops and 2-in-1s with less powerful integrated graphics from Intel or we were seeing super big, super powerful, and super expensive gaming machines. There wasn’t much left for the erstwhile gamer who needs to get some work done […]

Dell’s 2-in-1 Version of XPS 13 Has Finally Arrived
Last time we checked in with the Dell XPS 13, it was getting a rose gold edition. Well, now it’s getting in on one more trend — the 360-degree hinge. At CES 2017, Dell is debuting the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1, a machine with similar specs to the XPS 13, plus a little extra flexibility. Being […]

The Dell XPS 13 Gets a Refresh and a Rose Gold Option
For years now, the Dell XPS 13 has been one of our top choices in the traditional notebook market. It’s almost as lightweight as more underpowered 2-in-1s, but sacrifices nothing in terms of performance. There wasn’t much wrong with it, as far as we could tell, so it’s with pleasure, not disappointment, that we say […]

Dell’s New Latitude Series Gets a Designer Makeover
For better or worse (or neither), Dell’s Latitude series of notebooks has always been the plain, boring line compared to the more designer look of the XPS line. That changes at CES 2016, as Dell is showing off the new Latitude 12 and Latitude 13 in their 7000 Series, a 2-in-1 device and a notebook, […]

Dell XPS 13 Finally Gets a Big Brother, the XPS 15
For a few years now, the Dell XPS line has quietly impressed, giving us great notebooks and 2-in-1s in packages that were among the thinnest and lightest (if not top of the pack). That continues with Dell’s refreshed line of XPS devices, including the XPS 15, a machine both large and small in all the […]

Dell XPS 12 Takes On The Surface Pro
Dell is releasing a brand new XPS 12 next month, but this is no hardware refresh. They’ve done away with easel hinge, creating a 2-in-1 more along the lines of what the Surface Pro offers, but with a 4k display that eclipses what the Surface Pro 4 has – even if we have our doubts […]

Dell might change that with the new Chromebook 13, their first premium Chromebook directed at the business world. Dell has taken the familiar Chromebook formula — Chrome OS, mid-tier specs, and solid battery […]

Dell Gets Tough on Tablets With Their Latitude 12 Rugged
It’s a little surprising, considering that tablets are the more mobile devices, but Dell built up their Rugged line with notebooks and 2-in-1s before finally building a rock-solid tablet in the new Latitude 12 Rugged. The tablet looks to be as technically proficient as it is tough — the 11.6″ HD display is combined with […]

Hands-on with the Dell XPS 13 + First Impressions
At CES last month, Dell announced a new revamped XPS 13, which is supposed to be the world’s smallest laptop. The original Dell XPS 13 was a hit, and it also helped usher in the Ultrabook category, so we had high hopes for 2015’s model. But weighing in at just 2.8lbs with a touchscreen, not […]
