CES 2025 | RIP Latitude: Dell Pro 13 Premium and Dell Pro 14 Premium vie for space on your lap with Intel Lunar Lake and tandem OLED options
Jan 6 2025, 21:57 GMT update: The original article indicated that that the Dell Pro Premium lineup pertains to the XPS, whereas it actually pertains to the Latitude lineup. The headline and article below are corrected to reflect this. Dell will be announcing the XPS successors with the Dell Premium moniker at a future date. The new names do take some time getting used to!
The iconic Latitude brand is being killed off. Yes, you heard that right. In a bid to enable easy correlation between product names and feature sets, Dell is going the Apple route of labeling devices with a Pro moniker to distinguish them from the rest of the flock.
We have seen Dell Pro Plus and Pro Max laptops being launched today. What's also in store is the Latitude being reborn as Dell Pro Premium available in 13 and 14-inch sizes.
The Dell Pro 13 Premium and Pro 14 Premium are powered by Intel Core Ultra 200V (Series 2) Lunar Lake processors up to the Ultra 7 with vPro. The laptops can be configured with up to 32 GB of LPDDR5x-8533 RAM and can be equipped with up to a 2 TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD.
Both the Pro 13 Premium and the Pro 14 Premium offer FHD+ non-touch and QHD+ touch 16:10 IPS display options. The Pro 14 Premium's QHD+ display is actually a tandem OLED panel with a higher 2880x1800 resolution compared to the 2500x1600 variant in the Pro 13 Premium.
Connectivity options include an optional SIM tray, a single USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A port, HDMI 2.1-out, 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports with Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4-out, and a combo audio jack. Networking is handled by an Intel BE201 Wi-Fi 7 card with Bluetooth 5.4.
Additionally, both the Pro 13 Premium and the Pro 14 Premium feature an 8 MP HDR IR webcam, a quad-speaker setup, and two noise cancelling mics.
The Dell Pro 13 Premium and Pro 14 Premium will be available from today. Pricing is yet to be announced.
