AI that works quietly in the background

Built as Copilot+ PCs, the Dell 14S and 16S bring AI directly to your device without any cloud dependency or setup. Intelligent features enhance video calls, system responsiveness and everyday efficiency — without sacrificing battery life.

Designed to go where you do

Power doesn’t have to come at the cost of portability. Crafted with refined aluminum and thoughtful details, both systems strike a balance between elegance and durability.

    • Slim 15.3mm metal design
    • Starting at 3.2 lbs for Dell 14S and 3.9 lbs for Dell 16S

Battery life that redefines all‑day

The Dell 14S delivers up to 24 hours of productivity battery life4 and up to 18 hours of streaming.5 The Dell 16S flips that equation — up to 26 hours of streaming6 and up to 14 hours of productivity.7 Either way, finding an outlet to charge won’t be at the top of your to-do list.

Upleveled displays and audio

The Dell 14S and Dell 16S are designed to deliver a visual and audio experience that adapts to how you work, create and unwind.

FHD+ panels provide sharp detail and wide viewing angles with up to 400 nits of brightness, ideal for long productivity sessions, video calls and everyday multitasking. Available in both touch and non‑touch configurations, these displays prioritize comfort and efficiency with ComfortView technology to help reduce eye strain over extended use.

QHD+ options with refresh rates up to 120Hz deliver enhanced clarity and responsiveness. With up to 500 nits brightness, 100% sRGB color and Dolby Vision® support, these displays deliver smoother images.

And, for an even more captivating screen experience, OLED display options are available and deliver deep blacks, exceptional contrast and 100% DCI‑P3 color coverage, bringing photos, videos and streaming content to life with striking realism. Dolby Vision® enhances depth and detail, while ComfortView Plus helps reduce blue light without compromising color accuracy.

The visual experience is matched by powerful audio. Each system is equipped with Dolby Atmos®–tuned speakers and Smart Amplifier technology, delivering clearer dialogue, richer sound and impressive volume in a slim design. Whether you’re on a video call, editing content, gaming casually or streaming your favorite shows, audio feels immersive and balanced — no matter where you’re working.

Thoughtfully built for a sustainable future

Sustainability is built into every detail. Both laptops are crafted using recycled aluminum and plastics, ship in fully recycled packaging and are ENERGY STAR® certified and EPEAT Gold with Climate+ registered, helping reduce environmental impact without compromising performance.

Choose the size that fits your life

    • Dell 14S: Compact, powerful and ideal for productivity on the move
    • Dell 16S: Bigger screen, immersive experiences, and extended streaming endurance

No matter which you choose, you’ll get a laptop designed to work smarter, last longer and go further.
