Dell Pro 14

Released Mar 31, 2025Laptop

Dell's Pro 14 (PC14250) is the standard 14-inch model of the Dell Pro line, with a 1920x1200 60Hz IPS screen, user-upgradable DDR5 memory and a 1.35kg body. It is sold with Intel Core and Core Ultra U-series chips, from entry-level Core 3 and Core 5 models up to the Core Ultra 7 265U; specs here are for the Core Ultra 7 265U with 16GB, 512GB and a 55Wh battery.

Pros

  • Two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots reachable after removing the bottom cover, a memory-module replacement guide published by Dell, and up to 64GB listed in LaptopMedia's spec database
  • Business-ready ports: Thunderbolt 4, a second USB-C, HDMI 2.1, two USB-A (one with PowerShare), 1GbE RJ-45 and a headset jack
  • The 55Wh battery lasted about 10 hours 44 minutes of video playback at 180 nits in review testing
  • Starts at 1.35kg and 18.9-20.4mm thick, with a physical webcam privacy shutter and an available fingerprint reader

Cons

  • The tested entry-level 6-bit panel covered only 51% of sRGB and measured about 336 nits; a 100% sRGB panel is available as an option
  • The Core Ultra 7 265U reached about 104C in short full-load tests and dropped to lower clocks under sustained load in review testing
  • Storage is a single M.2 2230 slot, so standard 2280 SSDs do not fit
  • Wi-Fi 7 is only an option: a unit ordered in the top Core Ultra 7 265U configuration arrived with a Wi-Fi 6E card in review testing
