With the Dell 14S and Dell 16S, Dell is launching two new premium notebooks that combine modern AI functions, powerful hardware and a particularly slim design. The new models are aimed at users who want to work productively, be creative on the move or stream in a relaxed manner – without having to compromise on mobility or battery life. Particularly exciting: both devices rely on the latest Intel Core Ultra processors with integrated AI acceleration and support Copilot+ features directly on the device.
- Intel Core Ultra 9 processors with up to 50 TOPS NPU for local AI acceleration
- Up to 24 hours of battery life on the Dell 14S and 26 hours of streaming on the Dell 16S
- OLED displays with Dolby Vision and up to 120 Hz refresh rate available
- Slim aluminum design from only 15.3 mm height
Dell 14S and Dell 16S focus on AI performance and high mobility
With the new Dell 14S and 16S models, Dell is clearly focusing on the next generation of modern AI PCs. Both devices are equipped with the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and can be optionally configured up to Intel Core Ultra 9 386H. The integrated NPU achieves up to 50 TOPS and enables AI functions directly on the device – without any cloud connection.
As a result, users benefit from smarter video calls, optimized system performance and more efficient multitasking. Dell claims up to 97 percent more multitasking performance with the 14S compared to the previous generation. According to the manufacturer, the larger Dell 16S still achieves a performance increase of up to 59 percent.
In addition, variants with AMD Ryzen AI 400 processors will be released later this month. These should offer additional advantages, especially for AI applications, graphics performance and parallel workloads.
Dell has also opted for a modern design. Both notebooks are made of aluminum, are comparatively light and remain pleasantly compact despite their powerful hardware. The Dell 14S starts at just 3.2 pounds, while the Dell 16S weighs in at around 3.9 pounds. Color options such as Celestial Blue or Frost Blue also ensure a high-quality look.
The new keyboards feature backlighting and convenient shortcut keys. Improved airflow systems should also enable quiet and cool operation – even under higher loads.
High-quality displays, Dolby Atmos and long battery life
The extensive display options of the new models are particularly striking. The FHD+ panels already offer up to 400 nits of brightness and ComfortView technology to reduce eye strain during prolonged use. If you want more, you can opt for QHD+ variants with up to 120 Hz.
The optional OLED displays are particularly interesting for multimedia and creative applications. These deliver deep black levels, high contrast and full DCI-P3 color space coverage. Dolby Vision also improves the display of HDR content.
Dell also wants to impress when it comes to sound. Both devices have Dolby Atmos-tuned speakers with Smart Amplifier technology. This should make conversations clearer, music fuller and streams much more immersive – despite the slim design.
Another highlight is the battery life. According to the manufacturer, the Dell 14S achieves up to 24 hours of productivity or up to 18 hours of video streaming. The Dell 16S is particularly designed for entertainment and is said to enable up to 26 hours of streaming.
Dell is also focusing on sustainability. Recycled aluminum and plastics are used as well as fully recyclable packaging. In addition, both devices are ENERGY STAR and EPEAT Gold certified.
Conclusion
With the Dell 14S and Dell 16S, Dell presents two modern premium notebooks that combine powerful AI functions, high-quality displays and long battery life in a slim chassis. In particular, the combination of Copilot+ features, OLED options and powerful Intel Core Ultra hardware makes the devices just as interesting for productive tasks as they are for multimedia and mobile working.
