CES 2025 | Dell Plus laptop lineup debuts with Lunar Lake and up to a mini-LED display

Dell has bid goodbye to its Inspiron Plus series, and the lineup is now replaced by Dell Plus. This new series has two initial entries, the 14 Plus and 16 Plus. While the naming has been simplified, the laptops in the range remain versatile, and one big highlight is that among the two additions, the 16-inch model brings very decent specs for being a mid-range offering.

Both the two Dell Plus 14 and Plus 16 are powered by the Intel Lunar Lake series of CPUs, with the top-end configuration featuring the Core Ultra 9 288V. The entry-level option, on the other hand, packs the Core Ultra 5 226V. Depending on the configuration you choose, you can get these laptops with up to an Arc 140V iGPU, 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 2 TB of storage.

These two Dell Plus laptops also come with a decent selection of ports, including HDMI 2.1, Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports. The design is geared towards being travel-friendly, with the 14 Plus weighing as low as 3.42 lbs.

As for the display, the Dell 16 Plus steals the spotlight because it offers the option to configure it with a QHD+ mini-LED panel that features 600 nits of advertised brightness rating and 90 Hz refresh rate. The 14 Plus, on the other hand, can be configured with up to a 2.5K display.

Other highlights of the two new laptops include a speaker setup with Dolby Atmos, a 2-in-1 option for both, and a 64 Wh battery (145 W Urgreen laptop power bank curr. $75.99 on Amazon).
