Easa Posted December 4, 2025 Posted December 4, 2025 World has really gone insane with this product nomenclature. I was mad at Lenovo for switching the ThinkPad Workstation labeling three times during the last decade, but at least they look settled & logical (for now) with P16 Gen1=>2=>3. Then there is Dell with the Precision 77xx => ProMaxPlus nonsense => Now we are getting a Pro Max Plus Precision hybrid? God no. And dont even get me started about HP´s mess of a lineup with gems like ZBook 8 G1i 16. If they really wanted to implement a new nomenclature for the 16:10 models, they could have done Precision M8620 / M8820. M as mobile, 8 for the flagship series, 6/8 for screen size, 20 for the CPU generation (Core 200). And they would be settled for another decade at least. 8820=>8830=>8840 etc. Easy to read, easy to understand, easy to remember. Just like it was before this mess. Sorry about the rant.

ebourg Posted December 4, 2025 Posted December 4, 2025 Or they could just keep the P of Precision and append the screen size, so... Dell P16 😅

I mean, I am glad to see the "Precision" name return, "Pro Max" seems like it belongs to iPhones. But everything else about it is just confusing, especially if they keep changing it.

Aaron44126 Posted 5 hours ago Author Posted 5 hours ago OK, sorry about that, I do subscribe to The Verge so I didn't realize that they had a paywall on this article. Couple more. https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/dell/dell-xps-returns-in-2026-after-rebrand-flop https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/dells-xps-revival-is-a-welcome-reprieve-from-the-ai-pc-fad/ Dell is bringing the XPS name back (in addition to the Precision name, it seems). The Pro/Premium/Plus/Max names that they introduced last year is already being phased out... though not completely ("Precision" is now "Pro Precision").
