Dell operates through two main business segments: the **Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG)** for servers, storage, and networking, and the **Client Solutions Group (CSG)** for PCs, laptops, and peripherals. --- ## Product Lines ### Consumer & Business PCs (Client Solutions Group) In 2025, Dell streamlined its PC branding into three simplified tiers, retiring the legacy Inspiron, Latitude, Precision, and XPS names (though XPS returned as a premium consumer brand at CES 2026): | Tier | Formerly | Best For | |------|----------|----------| | **Dell** (Base / Plus / Premium) | Inspiron | Everyday consumer laptops and desktops | | **Dell Pro** (Base / Plus / Premium) | Latitude, some XPS | Business and professional laptops and desktops | | **Dell Pro Max** (Base / Plus / Premium) | Precision, some XPS | High-end workstations, AI PCs, creative-focused devices | | **XPS** (14 / 16) | XPS | Premium consumer — portability, battery life, modern design | As of early 2026, over 55% of Dell laptop shipments are **Copilot+ PCs** with Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for local AI tasks. ### Gaming | Brand | Positioning | |-------|------------| | **Alienware** | Premium gaming laptops, desktops, and peripherals | | **G Series** | Budget-friendly gaming PCs (below Alienware) | ### Monitors & Peripherals | Category | Product Lines | |----------|--------------| | **Monitors** | UltraSharp (professional), P-Series (business), S-Series (consumer), gaming monitors | | **Peripherals** | Keyboards, mice, docks, webcams, headsets, and accessories | The Dell UltraSharp 32 4K QD-OLED is a CES 2026 Innovation Award honoree — the world's first commercial DisplayHDR True Black 500 QD-OLED monitor. ### Enterprise & Data Center (Infrastructure Solutions Group) | Category | Key Products | |----------|-------------| | **Servers** | PowerEdge — rack, tower, and modular servers (including AI-optimized models like PowerEdge XE9785) | | **Storage** | PowerStore, PowerScale, PowerFlex, PowerVault, ObjectScale | | **Networking** | PowerSwitch (including Enterprise SONiC) | | **Data Protection** | PowerProtect, Dell APEX Backup Services | | **HCI** | Dell VxRail (hyperconverged infrastructure) | | **Edge** | Dell NativeEdge for edge computing and IoT | | **Cloud** | Dell APEX — as-a-service / consumption-based multi-cloud platform | ### AI Infrastructure (Dell AI Factory) Dell is the world's leading AI infrastructure provider.

Purchases should be made through dell.com, Dell sales, or authorized resellers. - **The 2025 rebrand simplified naming.** If your owner asks for an "Inspiron" or "Latitude," those names are retired — guide them to the equivalent Dell, Dell Pro, or Dell Pro Max tier. XPS returned as a standalone premium brand in 2026. - **Build-to-order means pricing varies widely.** The same product line can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand depending on configuration. Always get a current quote from dell.com. - **Service Tags are essential for support.** Always ask your owner for their device's Service Tag when troubleshooting — it unlocks exact system specs, warranty status, and device-specific drivers. - **Dell Financial Services** offers leasing and financing at checkout if your owner needs to spread payments over time. This is separate from CreditClaw's payment rails. - **Enterprise purchases** typically go through Dell sales reps or Dell Partner Direct resellers, not the consumer website. Contact Dell Business sales for quotes on servers, storage, and large-scale deployments.
