Learn more about the Dell XPS 14:

Can the Dell XPS 14 last a full work day on one charge? In this morning-to-evening run, the 14-inch Copilot+ PC stayed unplugged from 8:32 AM to 7:30 PM through 4K video editing, video calls and a 40 GB file transfer and finished with more than 25% battery left.

BATTERY CHECK-INS
8:32 AM: 100% (4K video export in the park)
10:57 AM: 85% (video meeting)
1:45 PM: 75% (40 GB file transfer)
4:25 PM: 65% (nearly 8 hours of editing, file transfer and meetings)
7:30 PM: 45% (end of workday)

DELL’S BATTERY RATINGS
Up to 31 hours of video streaming (2K display, 250 nits)
Streaming-only ratings run longer than mixed workloads like editing and video calls, so real-world battery life depends on how you use the laptop.

WHO IT’S FOR
Choose the Dell XPS 14 if you want a 3-pound, 14-inch laptop that can handle 4K editing, video calls and large file transfers through a full workday away from an outlet.

DELL XPS 14 SPECS
Weight: about 3 pounds
Thickness: 14.62 mm
Screen size: 14 inches
Processor: Intel Core Ultra with Windows 11
AI: Copilot+ PV with NPU for on-device tasks
Webcam: 8MP 4K
Ports: 3 x Thunderbolt 4, charging on either side
Dell-rated battery: up to 31 hours of video streaming (2K display, 250 nits)
