Reviews for the Dell Pro 14 Premium
Dell is hitting the giant reset button for all of its laptops this year. With the Latitude name dead and gone, can the new Dell Pro 14 Premium take up the mantle?

Dell's Pro 14 Premium would flirt with a higher score if it came with a better keyboard. As is—and at roughly $350 more than a ThinkPad X1 Carbon with an 1800p OLED to the Dell's 1200p IPS screen—it must settle for four stars and a thumbs up. This is Dell's best business laptop yet, but the Carbon is the best laptop in the world.

If this machine was still called a Latitude, would I have gone easier on it? Probably not. It has several problems, some of which involve the underlying hardware platform. I don’t think the Intel Core Ultra 200 series chips are great, as they sacrifice multitasking performance to achieve power efficiency without considering how people use these systems every day. But for light tasks, they’re good, and the battery life is exceptional. My biggest issue with the Dell Pro 14 Premium is the price being asked, for what isn’t anything special when you look at the construction, screen and very limited upgradability. Putting the words “Pro” and “Premium” in the name suggests a design, build and performance level that this hardware doesn’t deliver. The cost that Dell is asking is just adding insult to injury.

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.

78.8%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
