Dell has introduced the new Dell 14S and Dell 16S laptops in Malaysia, bringing Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, Copilot+ AI capabilities and long battery life to users seeking premium productivity machines. The new laptops focus on combining AI-enhanced performance, portability and premium design while targeting professionals, creators and everyday users who require all-day computing power.

Both laptops are available immediately in Malaysia, with prices starting from RM7,299.

Dell 14S and 16S Powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Processors

The Dell 14S and Dell 16S are equipped with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, configurable up to the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H. The new chips feature built-in AI acceleration with up to 50 TOPS NPU performance, enabling AI workloads to run directly on-device without depending heavily on cloud services.

According to Dell, the Dell 14S delivers up to 97% higher multitasking performance compared to its predecessor, while the larger Dell 16S offers up to 59% better multitasking performance generation-over-generation. The improvements are intended to benefit users juggling creative applications, spreadsheets, multitasking and heavier workloads.

Dell also confirmed AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series configurations will become available later this month, expanding options for users seeking AI-focused computing performance.

Copilot+ AI Features Aim to Improve Everyday Productivity

Both systems are launched as Copilot+ PCs, allowing AI-powered features to run locally on the device. Dell says the AI capabilities are designed to enhance video calls, optimise responsiveness and improve productivity workflows while maintaining battery efficiency.

The integration of dedicated NPUs means AI tasks can be processed more efficiently compared to traditional CPU workloads.

Premium Metal Design with Lightweight Construction

The Dell 14S and 16S maintain slim metal chassis designs measuring just 15.3mm thick, while remaining relatively lightweight despite their larger displays.

The Dell 14S starts at 3.2 lbs, while the Dell 16S weighs from 3.9 lbs. Both models are offered in Celestial Blue and Frost Blue finishes.

Other design features include:

• Backlit keyboards with updated shortcut functions
• Enhanced cooling systems for quieter operation
• Military-grade durability testing
• Aluminium construction for improved rigidity and premium feel

Meanwhile, the Dell 16S prioritises entertainment endurance with:

Actual battery performance will vary depending on workload and configuration, though the figures position both laptops among longer-lasting premium Windows laptops.
