It seems that the war between Apple and Microsoft will reach new heights, as Dell unveiled that its Copillot+ PC, the new XPS 13, will be the first among Windows PCs to have a Tandem OLED display, something that Apple devices, especially MacBooks have been shipped with for quite some time.

According toTom Warren of The Verge, Dell officially confirmed this, but interestingly enough, the company hasn’t mentioned it at allon the official website.

Dell has confirmed to me that the new ARM-powered XPS 13 has a tandem pOLED display. It’s the first to market with this new LG Display panel inside a laptop. I saw many claim Apple had invented tandem OLED, but of course they didn’tpic.twitter.com/UQ72738MXn

Either way, the new laptop is expectedto come out this summer, but it can be pre-ordered now, and if it’s shipped with the new Tandem OLED, this will be a new era of Windows-based laptops.

What is Tandem OLED?

Basically, Tandem OLED is a unique and specific display technology that stacks two OLED panels on top of each other, resulting in higher image quality, higher brightness, and vivid colors.

The two panels combine light, and together they can achieve between 1000 – 1600 nits of brightness for SDR and HDR content. The system also distributes brightness across the two panels, thus reducing the workload and ensuring the display lasts longer.

The precise nature of the technology, aka controlling each pixel to display accurate colors, not only makes it perfect when watching films, videos, images, or content in general, but it also adapts itself to various circumstances, providing quality experiences no matter the lighting conditions.

They’re considered better than regular OLED displays, due to their efficient workload, burn-resistant quality, and vivid brightness. Apple announced it was going to integrate Tandem OLED into its new iPad Pro devices, earlier this month, under the name ofUltra Retina XDR display.

Tandem OLED coming to Windows PCs would definitely make the new Copilot+ PCs more attractive to users. After Dell, many other OEMs could follow, including Lenovo, Asus, Acer, and even Microsoft itself, on its new Copilot+ Surface laptops.

After all, they should do it: these new devices, announced by Microsoft at its Build conference earlier this week, are already tarnished with a negative reputation: their new AI-based Recall capability is playing the main character –many see it as a useless featurethat could be potentially harmful, and it occupiesa lot of space for nothing.
