Dell XPS 14 (2026) Power Supply
While we are looking over the XPS 14, here is a quick look at Dell’s included power supply for the laptop.
Dell ships the system with a pretty typical USB-C standard power range (SPR) power supply. This specific model is able to hit the full range of the spec, delivering up to 100 Watts of power (20V@5A) and allowing it to quickly charge most any USB-C device.
Final Words
While every product launch is an important one for a major PC OEM, it is also fair to say that the release of Dell’s 2026 XPS lineup is more important than most for the company. Not only is Dell tapping into the new features and performance afforded by Intel’s Panther Lake platform, but the return of the XPS series has given Dell a critical opportunity to recover from their stumbles in 2025 – branding, laptop design, and all. For Dell and the XPS product team, for as rough as the short-lived Dell Premium era went for them, the 2026 XPS 14 is proof positive that Dell has figured out once again how to produce a great premium laptop.
The end result is that the XPS 14 is everything Dell needed it to be. It is everything that Dell’s customers wanted it to be. The company has done a fantastic job on building a complete thin and light laptop around Intel’s Panther Lake platform, putting together a 14-inch laptop that checks all of the boxes for a great premium laptop. Good CPU performance, even better GPU performance, a sturdy-but-light chassis, and a fantastic display, it is all there.
If anything, we were a bit surprised by just how much multiple STH staffers ended up liking the laptop. Even Patrick and Sam, who are normally diehard MacBook Pro users, agreed that it was a nice thin and light laptop. That design, coupled with the extremely vivid OLED display, turned multiple heads in the office.
All of which goes to show that while Dell never truly lost the knack for making a good premium laptop. The latest iteration of the XPS 14 has been designed with a clear concept of how to make a great thin and light laptop, and as a result, it fills that role very well.
Patrick’s Note: This laptop looks and feels premium, it is fast, battery life is super, and the OLED screen looks great. I would go so far as to say that Intel and Dell did a great job on this (but I would love another USB port)
