Buying call

Buy the 2026 XPS 14 if you want a stylish, light Windows laptop with a great screen: reviewers praised its aluminum build, tandem OLED option, all-day battery and physical function row, and the OLED model lasted 12 hours 23 minutes in one web test. Skip it if you need USB-A or HDMI, because it's Thunderbolt only. It's less powerful than similarly priced rivals, and its flat keyboard isn't for everyone.
