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 […]
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 […]
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. Band member Josh Mayer played a little bit of “Fortune Days” using the Dell XPS 27 as his musical instrument — he’ll have to get […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The gaming laptop wars are heating up, and while Acer definitely brought the inferno, Dell’s not doing too badly for themselves. They’re announcing their new Alienware 15 and 17 laptops at the PAX West gaming convention today, and sure enough, they promise to be VR-ready thanks to mobile version’s of Nvidia’s new 10-series GPUs. The […]
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, […]
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 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 […]
The bad news about back to school shopping is that you have to go back to school. Bummer! The good news is that back to school time is hands down the best time to finagle a new device out of the parents — you can always give your birthday and the holidays a shot, but […]
Up until today, Chromebooks have been largely known as cheap, student-friendly notebooks, either for individual students or as mass purchases for classrooms. 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 […]
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 […]
The 2-in-1 market is really heating up, with excellent veterans like the Lenovo Yoga line and the Microsoft Surface Pro line mixing it up with promising new devices like the Asus Transformer Book T300 Chi. Now, Dell has their on take on the 2-in-1 market, and it’s breaking from its competitors in one major way—operating […]
When a PC comes out and folks start calling it a Macbook killer, that is a very strong claim to make, and even a harder one to get away with. But after spending several weeks with the Dell XPS 13, we’re ready to put our 2 cents in. And it turns out that we’re downright […]
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 […]
IT staffers who dread calls with tech support might like what Dell is offering with ProSupport Plus. The new tech support service, combined with SupportAssist Technology embedded in Dell’s enterprise tablets and PCs, provides Dell’s support staff with continuous diagnostics of all the devices in the office, allowing them to call you when a problem […]
Dell is announcing its smallest in the world 13″ laptop, XPS 13. It has a beautifully brimming edge-to-edge display that looks as borderless as an infinity pool. This little guy can keep going on one full charge for 15 hours due to its slender physique, all the while maintaining some killer functionality. Utilizing Windows 8.1, […]
Dell is refreshing some of their Venue tablets, including a stylish new look for the Venue 8. The Venue 8 7000 Series will be made of machined aluminum, with good enough specs inside to ensure that the tablet performs as well as it looks. The Venue 8 7000 series will boast an 8.4″ 2560 x […]
Dell had a lot of announcements this week at their Dell World event, with one of the headliners being the Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 Series. The biggest member of Dell’s tablet line, the Venue 11 Pro 7000 Series packs PC specs into a thin, versatile tablet. The Venue 11 Pro 7000 Series is a […]
