Dell releases new 14-inch laptop globally with 120 Hz display and Arc B390 graphics
Dell returned to the XPS lineup earlier this year with the XPS 14. For reference, we have already reviewed two versions, one with the Core Ultra 7 355 and the other with the more powerful Core Ultra X7 358H. Now, it has packaged Intel's Panther Lake platform into another 14-inch consumer laptop called the Dell 14S.
Effectively, the Dell 14S succeeds the Dell 14 Plus (curr. $959 on Amazon), despite the name change. Currently, the Dell 14S can be configured with the Core Ultra 5 322, Core Ultra 7 355, Core Ultra 9 386H and the Core Ultra X7 358H in North America. By contrast, Dell limits its new 14-inch laptop to the Core Ultra 5 322 and Core Ultra 7 355 in Europe. All configurations ship with a 70 Wh battery that supports 65 W charging, though.
Additionally, the Dell 14S comes with a choice between 16 GB or 32 GB of LPDDR5x-7467 RAM and 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB of PCIe storage in some markets. Moreover, Dell offers the laptop with 1200p OLED or 1600p IPS panels. Not only is the latter the brighter of the two at 500 nits vs 300 nits, the latter also supports a 48-120 Hz refresh rate. In comparison, Dell's OLED panel peaks at 60 Hz; neither supports touchscreen inputs, though.
Unfortunately, configuring the Core Ultra 9 386H or Core Ultra X7 358H limits the laptop to a 60 Hz OLED display. The Dell 14S starts at £1,149 in the UK and €1,299 in the Eurozone with a Core Ultra 5 322, 16 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD and an OLED display. Meanwhile, Dell charges $1,319 for the same configuration in the US. However, the laptop runs to $2,169 when configured with a Core Ultra X7 358H.
