The Dell Pro 14 Plus PB14250 is a next‑generation business‑class AI laptop designed for professionals who demand power, reliability, security, and Linux compatibility in one refined package. Driven by the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 266V (Series 2) processor, this laptop introduces AI acceleration through Intel’s integrated NPU, enabling smarter multitasking, improved power efficiency, and future‑ready performance.

Unlike consumer‑grade notebooks, the Dell Pro 14 Plus is engineered for enterprise workloads, software development, data analysis, remote work, and executive productivity. It combines a lightweight aluminum chassis, enterprise security features, and official Ubuntu 24.04 LTS certification, ensuring stability and compatibility straight out of the box.

Performance: Intel Core Ultra 7 266V with AI Acceleration

At the heart of this machine is the Intel Core Ultra 7 266V, part of Intel’s Series 2 AI‑ready processors. This CPU features:

• 8 cores (4 Performance + 4 Efficiency cores)
• Up to 5.0GHz Turbo Boost
• 12MB Smart Cache
• Integrated NPU delivering up to 48 TOPS

The built‑in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) offloads AI workloads from the CPU and GPU, enabling faster background AI tasks such as noise cancellation, intelligent video framing, and local AI inference. Developers working with machine learning frameworks and professionals using AI‑powered tools benefit significantly from this architecture.

Memory & Storage: Fast, Efficient, and Reliable

The laptop is equipped with 16GB LPDDR5x RAM running at 8533 MT/s, soldered directly to the motherboard for maximum stability and energy efficiency. This ensures smooth multitasking across heavy applications such as Docker containers, IDEs, large spreadsheets, and virtual machines.

Storage is handled by a 512GB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD, providing lightning‑fast boot times, rapid file transfers, and responsive application launches. The M.2 NVMe architecture also ensures enterprise‑grade reliability and endurance.

Display: 14‑Inch FHD+ Productivity Panel

The 14‑inch Full HD+ (1920 × 1200) IPS display uses a 16:10 aspect ratio, offering more vertical screen space compared to traditional 16:9 panels. This is ideal for coding, document editing, web browsing, and multitasking environments.

Key display features include:

• IPS panel with wide viewing angles
• 300 nits brightness for indoor use
• Anti‑glare coating
• 45% NTSC color gamut

This screen balances clarity, comfort, and power efficiency for extended work sessions.

Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Certified

The Dell Pro 14 Plus PB14250 is officially certified for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, meaning Dell and Canonical have validated hardware compatibility, drivers, firmware, and performance stability.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS offers:

• Long‑term security updates
• Stable kernel support
• Pre‑optimized drivers
• Excellent developer ecosystem

This makes the laptop an excellent choice for Linux developers, DevOps engineers, cybersecurity professionals, data scientists, and enterprises running open‑source stacks.

Graphics: Intel Arc Integrated GPU

Graphics are powered by Intel Arc Graphics 140V, delivering improved performance over previous Intel integrated GPUs. This allows smoother UI rendering, light creative workloads, hardware‑accelerated video playback, and better multi‑monitor support—all without the heat and battery drain of a discrete GPU.

Security & Enterprise Features

The Dell Pro series is built with enterprise‑grade security, including:

• TPM 2.0
• Dell ControlVault
• IR camera for Linux facial recognition
• Webcam privacy shutter
• Intel vPro support

These features make it suitable for corporate deployment, sensitive data handling, and remote workforce environments.

Connectivity & Ports

The laptop supports cutting‑edge connectivity, ensuring compatibility with modern peripherals and networks:

• Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be)
• Bluetooth 5.4
• Thunderbolt 4 support
• USB‑C with Power Delivery
• HDMI 2.1
• USB‑A ports with PowerShare

Design & Portability

Weighing approximately 1.4–1.53kg, the Dell Pro 14 Plus is designed for mobility. The aluminum chassis is MIL‑STD tested, offering durability for travel and daily business use while maintaining a premium appearance.
