Dell just killed off XPS, but its new “Pro” laptops pull a neat trick: most USB-C ports and batteries are now officially user-replaceable.

It now offers a five-year warranty on Intel’s problematic 13th and 14th Gen CPUs, just like its closest competitors.

The company’s restructure mostly affects sales and managerial staff. Some outlets have reported, based on sources, that the layoffs will cut more than 10,000 jobs, but an analyst told SiliconAngle a number that high seems unlikely.

Dell has confirmed to The Verge that its new Arm-powered XPS 13 features a tandem pOLED display. It’s the first to market with such a display in a laptop, after Apple introduced tandem OLED on its latest iPad Pro. Dell’s new XPS 13 is part of a collection of Copilot Plus PCs that are launching on June 18th with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processors inside.

Dell’s new 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED Alienware gaming monitor costs $899.99 and goes on sale on January 11th as part of a new wave of 360Hz OLED monitors using panels from Samsung Display (MSI and Samsung itself also have versions on the way). For more resolution and less refresh rate, Dell’s also announcing a $1,199.99 32-inch 4K 240Hz version.

At BlackHat EU, Binarly showed how custom boot logo features could be exploited by crashing vulnerable image parsers, report SecurityWeek and ArsTechnica, allowing them to take over Windows and Linux systems. Binarly’s researchers write, “we detected parsers vulnerable to LogoFAIL in hundreds of devices sold by Lenovo, Supermicro, MSI, HP, Acer, Dell, Fujitsu, Samsung, and Intel.”

Dell has announced updates to its Inspiron line, a tried-and-true favorite of high school and college students everywhere. There’s a 16-incher, a 16-inch 2-in-1, and a 14-inch 2-in-1 — and they’ll all be available with both 13th-Gen Intel processors and AMD Ryzen 7000 processors.

In case you missed it, our Dell XPS 13 review went live over the weekend. One thing to note: there are literally only two ports on it. There’s not even a headphone jack!
