Reviews for the Dell Pro 14 Plus PB14250
Source: It Pro
Despite Dell's promise to make things easier for its customers, they're yet again faced with a quandary. Should they buy the Pro 14 Plus or the Pro 14 Premium? Configure both Dell models with a similar specification, and you'll find that the Plus can be as little as £100 to £200 cheaper. You might reasonably ask why you should even consider the Plus at all, given that the Premium is lighter, prettier, and longer-lasting. Ultimately, though, it's the tough build, relative cheapness, and good physical connectivity that form the core of the Pro 14 Plus' appeal. If you're happy to plump for one of the most basic off-the-shelf models, and your staff can work effectively with the low-end CPU and display, then the Pro 14 Plus is around 30% cheaper than the Premium.

The Dell Pro 14 Plus (PB14250) confidently asserts itself as a premium business ultrabook, boasting a sophisticated all-aluminum chassis in a sleek silver finish that is both remarkably robust and impressively resistant to fingerprints. Its construction feels exceptionally solid, inspiring confidence despite its classification below Dell’s top-tier “Premium” line. While not the absolute thinnest, it maintains a svelte profile and a manageable weight, making it a well-balanced portable companion. The inclusion of thoughtful business-centric features like an optional Smartcard reader, an integrated NFC reader in the trackpad, a physical webcam shutter, and options for WWAN connectivity underscore its professional focus. Performance for demanding productivity tasks is strong, with a choice of Intel Core Ultra processors and capable integrated Arc graphics, supported by a decent Kioxia NVMe SSD.

The Dell Pro 14 Plus (P1425) is a very solid portable monitor in its price range. Its advantage here isn’t necessarily its resolution or its refresh rate — it’s the fact that it gets bright, and offers accurate colors. It also offers a relatively sleek design, and is easily thin enough to fit in a backpack for on-the-go usage.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Core Ultra 7 268V: A higher-end Lunar Lake family processor. It sports 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.7 GHz and 5.0 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 140V iGPU and 32 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. It should be about as fast as the Core Ultra 7 165U and Core i7-1360P in multi-threaded workloads and it eats up to 37 W when under short-term workloads.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

66.67%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
