Dropping established product lines such as XPS, Precision, Latitude, OptiPlex, among others, represents a daring and potentially risky decision, yet Dell believes it’s the opportune moment to do so, and they are not making this choice in isolation.
Additionally, I discussed the recently introduced Dell and Dell Pro Max laptops that were presented today, however, it’s worth noting that the majority of the new hardware was announced under Dell’s Pro lineup.

Dell’s latest laptops claim up to 39% extended battery life and profiles up to 14% slimmer, while being part of the Copilot+ family, these PCs also incorporate on-device AI technology to enhance efficiency. Artificial Intelligence is a significant aspect in Dell’s revamped PC collection and a primary factor behind their rebranding effort.

My initial experience with the EliteBook Ultra has been very promising, and I must admit that my enthusiasm for it is greater than it has been for OmniBook in recent times.
