Compare Dell Laptops: 24 Models Side by Side

Picking the right Dell

Dell’s US range runs from school Chromebooks to mobile workstations. The Chromebook 3100 and 3120 are rugged machines made for classrooms. The Dell 15 and Inspiron laptops are the everyday home range, including 2-in-1s that fold into a tablet, and the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 gives you a bigger screen.

For work, the Latitude and Dell Pro laptops bring business features such as sturdier keyboards, security chips and easy repairs. The Precision, Mobile Workstation and Pro Max machines add professional graphics for CAD and engineering software. The XPS 13 and XPS 16 are Dell’s premium thin-and-light laptops.

Some Latitudes here are renewed rather than new. They can save you money, but check the processor generation on the spec sheet so you know how old the machine is.

Frequently asked questions

What happened to Dell's laptop names?

Dell simplified its range in 2025. New consumer models are called Dell, Dell Plus and Dell Premium, and business models Dell Pro and Dell Pro Max. Older names like Inspiron, Latitude and XPS are still on many laptops sold today.

Latitude or Inspiron?

Latitude is Dell's business line, built for durability, security features and easy servicing. Inspiron is the home line and usually costs less for the same processor. For personal use, Inspiron is usually the better value.

Are renewed Latitudes a good buy?

They can be, for office work and school. Many are several years old, so compare the processor generation and check how long Windows updates will keep coming before you buy.

Which Dell is best for students?

A Chromebook 3100 or 3120 for younger students on Google tools. For college, a Dell 15 or an Inspiron 14 2-in-1 runs Windows apps, and the XPS 13 is the light, premium choice.
