Dell has undergone its biggest PC rebrand in years, completely revamping how it names and positions its various laptops and desktops. Simply put, the old branding was a bit confusing in finding exactly the PC that would meet your needs and your price point. Sticking with laptops, the Inspiron was aimed at mainstream users and included both budget laptops and midrange machines. The XPS represented the most premium Dell laptops, many of which have shown up on our list of best laptops, and they offered the performance demanded by “prosumers” like creators. From there, a demanding user could move up to the company’s Precision line of professional workstations, while businesses had the Latitude lineup to consider.
The company has now streamlined its branding. Now, there are just three main PC brands, Dell (mainstream), Dell Pro (professional-grade productivity), and Dell Pro Max (workstation-level performance), each with Base, Plus, and Premium tiers. So, a mainstream consumer — this site’s primary audience — will be most interested in the Dell Base, Dell Plus, and Dell Premium machines. That should make it easier to match price with capabilities without having to sort through a number scheme that was sometimes hard to follow.
