In a bid to reinvigorate PC sales, Dell should've put a lot of thought into how it rebrands its PCs. Instead, it ripped off the iPhone's Pro and Pro Max naming conventions.

On the other hand, the AirPods Max offer a better noise-canceling experience by virtue of that form factor. Both products offer a transparency mode for hearing environmental noise and noise canceling to focus on the audio itself, but the AirPods Max handle the latter better because they cover your entire ear.

Dell on Monday announced an overhaul of its PC branding strategy with a simplified naming scheme that bears a striking resemblance to

Dell's rebranding is similar to Apple's naming style, which uses "Pro" and "Pro Max" for its top iPhone models. When asked about this similarity, Dell executives said that no company could claim ownership of words like "pro" or "max," as reported by PCWorld.

So that means Dell’s top-of-the-line laptop will be referred to as the Dell Pro Max (Premium), which is a step above the Dell Pro Max (Plus), which is a step above the Dell Pro Max (Base), which is a step above the Dell Pro (Premium), which is…better than XPS, Inspiron, and Latitude?

Named brands like XPS and Inspiron will now fall under performance categories. Plus, Dell expanded its partnership with AMD.

Dell kills off its XPS brand to be more like Apple: announces new Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max systems with Base, Plus, Premium tiers.
