        "content": "I checked the latest on Currys (UK) and Dell about the new Dell XPS 16 (2026) and here\u2019s what I've found:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d What I found\n\n1. **New Dell XPS 16 Launch Details**\n   - Dell re-introduced the XPS 14 and XPS 16 lines at CES 2026, with official launch in the U.S. on **January 6, 2026**. Global availability was expected to follow. ([techradar.com](https://www.techradar.com/computing/windows-laptops/dell-xps-14-2026-and-xps-16-2026?utm_source=openai))\n   - Specs include options like Intel Core Ultra CPUs, Arc graphics, high refresh OLED and LCD screens, 70Wh battery, and a 14.6 mm thin body for both models. ([windowscentral.com](https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/dell/dell-xps-returns-in-2026-after-rebrand-flop?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Currys & Dell Partnership**\n   - Dell has recently signed a retail deal with Currys PC World to stock its XPS, Inspiron, and Alienware ranges in its UK stores. Currys is now officially part of Dell\u2019s consumer retail strategy. ([channelweb.co.uk](https://www.channelweb.co.uk/news/2461195/dell-returns-currys-pc-world-retail-push?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Currys Stock Listings**\n   - Currys Business (UK) currently has a listing for the **Dell XPS 16 9640** (Intel Ultra 7, RTX 4060) \u2014 older generation though \u2014 this is *not* the new 2026 model. ([business.currys.co.uk](https://business.currys.co.uk/catalogue/computing/laptops/windows-laptop/dell-xps-16-9640-ai-ready-16-3-intel-core-ultra-7-155h-32-gb-ram-1-tb-ssd/P310711P?utm_source=openai))\n   - On Dell\u2019s UK website, the new XPS 16 (model DA16260) is marked as **\u201cNo longer available\u201d** or \u201cUnavailable\u201d in many of the base configurations. ([dell.com](https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptops-2-in-1-pcs/xps-16-laptop/spd/xps-16-9640-laptop?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u2753 So, does Currys currently stock the new 2026 Dell XPS 16?\n\n- **No**, not that I could confirm. Currys does carry Dell XPS models, but I found no evidence that the newly launched 2026 XPS 16 (DA16260) is in stock.\n- The one XPS 16 listing I did find at Currys is an older model (9640), not part of the 2026 refresh. ([business.currys.co.uk](https://business.currys.co.uk/catalogue/computing/laptops/windows-laptop/dell-xps-16-9640-ai-ready-16-3-intel-core-ultra-7-155h-32-gb-ram-1-tb-ssd/P310711P?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can check **Currys\u2019 specific stock by location** or see if any stores have it arriving soon. Would you like me to do that?"

Here\u2019s what the search showed:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d Key Findings\n\n- On Dell UK\u2019s site, the model DA16260 (the new 2026 XPS 16) is listed as **\u201cNo longer available\u201d** in most base configurations. ([dell.com](https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptops-2-in-1-pcs/xps-16-laptop/spd/xps-16-9640-laptop?utm_source=openai))  \n- Reviews and launch coverage say that while the new XPS 16 and 14 officially go on sale Jan 6, 2026 in the U.S., the UK launch was supposed to follow, but **no specific stock dates or store availability were given**. ([techradar.com](https://www.techradar.com/computing/windows-laptops/dell-xps-14-2026-and-xps-16-2026?utm_source=openai))  \n- Currys\u2019 business catalog has a listing for the **older XPS 16 9640 model** \u2014 *not* the 2026 DA16260 model. ([business.currys.co.uk](https://business.currys.co.uk/catalogue/computing/laptops/windows-laptop/dell-xps-16-9640-ai-ready-16-3-intel-core-ultra-7-155h-32-gb-ram-1-tb-ssd/P310711P?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\uded2 What That Means for UK Store Stock\n\n- None of the evidence indicates that Currys stores have the 2026 Dell XPS 16 in physical or online stock right now.  \n- Dell themselves appear to have it unavailable in their official UK storefront. ([dell.com](https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptops-2-in-1-pcs/xps-16-laptop/spd/xps-16-9640-laptop?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can check Currys\u2019 inventory by postcode or store and try to find if there's any incoming restock set. Do you want me to do that?"

Given how fresh the model is, it seems likely stock hasn\u2019t rolled out to retail stores.\n\nHere are a few places you can try checking, and what to watch out for:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83e\udded Places to Try\n\n- **Dell Experience Zones or showrooms** \u2014 Dell sometimes has pop-ups or dedicated zones in places like King\u2019s Road or within tech expos. Worth checking Dell\u2019s site or contacting customer service to ask if there\u2019s a showroom near you showcasing the XPS 16.  \n- **Tech/PC stores in major cities** \u2014 Stores like *Scan Computers in Bolton*, *Richmond* or *PC World/Carphone Warehouses* in London, Manchester, or Birmingham might eventually have display units.  \n- **Apple Premium Resellers or authorized laptop vendors** \u2014 Shops that sell multiple brands often get units for display even before stock becomes available.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d What to Do to Find One\n\n1. **Call ahead**  \n   - Ask stores like Currys, John Lewis or PC Specialist whether they\u2019ve got a *display unit for the newest XPS 16 (2026 DA16260)*.  \n   - If they say yes, ask for the **store address** and **turned-on condition** so you can test the screen and build quality.\n\n2. **Dell\u2019s Website / Store Locator**  \n   - Check if Dell UK lists \u201cwhere to test or demo\u201d the XPS 16 in their support or store locator sections.\n\n3. **Watch for announcements**  \n   - Dell or Currys might announce in-store demos or flash displays.  \n   - Local tech retailers sometimes post on social media when they have new units in-store.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which UK city you\u2019re in (or near), I can try to narrow down specific local stores and check stock/demo availability there. Want me to pull up options near you?"
