Dell reveals a new AI PC portfolio built forprofessional computing. Dell’s new AI PC lineup lets you collaborate, create and drive productivity no matter the location, the company says. To make finding the right AI PC easy for customers, the company introduced product categories, including Dell Pro (designed for professional-grade productivity) and Dell Pro Max (designed for maximum performance). 

Design and Quiet Productivity with Dell Pro

The new Dell Pro laptop portfolio are PCs that are small and light laptops in their class, featuring durable materials.

The Dell Pro lineup includes Intel Core Ultra (Series 2, V and U SKUs) and AMD Ryzen processor options, featuring an NPU, CPU and GPU. They offer strong battery life, on-device AI, Copilot+ PC experiences and productivity.

Dell Pro 13/14 Premium: The Copilot+ PC is a lightweight laptop available in 13- and 14-in. display sizes. It is the slimmest and lightest of the Pro portfolio, starting at 2.36 lbs. The Dell Pro Premium delivers up to 21.2 hours of battery life and 51% more run time than its predecessor. Along with an 8MP camera with HDR for collaboration, the notebook is a quiet commercial laptop due to a new dual fan thermal design.

The Dell Pro 14 Premium will be a commercial notebook with a Tandem OLED display. It’s power efficient and light while offering bright color for editing presentations. Dell Pro Premium features 90% recycled magnesium in the chassis for a long-lasting experience.

Dell Pro 13/14/16 Plus: A scalable mainstream business laptop is offered in a variety of configurations, form factors (laptop and 2-in-1) and display sizes (13-, 14- and 16-in.)—all on the same system BIOS. Dell Pro Plus features a minimalist design in platinum silver. Designed with 50% recycled and low emissions aluminum, it provides a sustainable finish. USB, HDMI and Thunderbolt port options, plus 5G and Wi-Fi 7, provide connectivity and flexibility. It’s also built to withstand rigorous MIL-STD testing. It has narrow borders on a 16:10 aspect ratio display.

Dell Pro 14/16: The base tier of Dell Pro, available in 14- and 16-in., are laptops that are available with a metallic finish in platinum silver and a laser textured finish in magnetite (dark gray). With a 16:10 aspect ratio and a low-power display, users can maximize battery life.

Dell Pro Desktops: Available in micro, slim and tower form factors, the Dell Pro desktops also feature Intel Core Ultra (Series 2, U SKUs) and AMD Ryzen processor options. These are Dell’s first commercial desktops with NPUs, bringing the benefits of AI-optimized performance and energy efficiency to PC users, regardless of form factor.

Dell Pro Max Brings Performance in Versatility

Designed for demanding applications, the new Dell Pro Max portfolio offers a range of high-performance PCs. The Dell Pro design extends across the Dell Pro Max family for a consistent look. The new portfolio features greater performance generation-over-generation through the new thermal design. The devices include Intel Core Ultra (Series 2, U SKUs) and AMD Ryzen and AMD Threadripper processor options and professional graphics. You can power intensive workloads, from animation to video rendering, run AI inferencing and fine-tune large language models (LLMs), according to Dell.

Dell Pro Max 14/16: Dell Pro Max PCs pack  performance in a portable, lightweight and modern design, with Dell Pro Max Plus and Premium models coming later this year. The all-new 16-in. size provides expansive screen real estate and supports complex and high-performance applications. The spacious display offers up to QHD+ resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio and an optional touch screen. With support for up to the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU, designers, engineers and architects can have the performance they need for AI inferencing, rendering and creative applications.

Dell Pro Max Desktops: These scalable desktop PCs support industry applications, such as architecture, design and graphical and data analysis, and enable light AI workloads. Available in micro, slim and tower form factors, these desktops offer NVIDIA RTX professional graphics and AMD graphics options to power your demanding tasks.
