Dell’s Precision Pro Biz Laptops Are Back With New Focus on Portability
It looks like 2026 is the year Dell hits the reset button… dramatic brand changes are being reintegrated into the company’s consumer and commercial product lines. Sometimes the old ones are the good ones: the familiar ones XPS name and design came back this year for a reason, and it’s certainly not because the Dell Premiums had a positive reputation.
On the commercial side of Dell’s offerings, it’s time for a similar revival. Gone are the Dell Pro Max computers (which I’m grateful for, because there’s no reason for a B2B computer model to share a naming convention with the Super expensive iPhones). In its place, the Dell Precision Pro returns alongside a whole series of Dell Pros (including a two-in-one model), the Dell Pro 5 Micro and new professional monitors.
Dell is touting this generation of business computers as its thinnest and lightest laptops yet. Product engineers have also designed a new, highly configurable motherboard that will facilitate mass production and iteration of this product line. A Dell product manager explained that this new motherboard is like an automaker’s iconic car frame: much like how a single frame can be fitted to sedan or SUV parts, multiple chassis can be installed on new Dell motherboards to change the form and function of these products based on customer needs.
Here is the full range of new Dell commercial products, which will be available in the coming months.
The Dell Precision Pro 5 features high-end Intel silicon and Nvidia graphics.
The Dell Precision Pro returns in May
The Dell Precision Pro 5 laptop is the cornerstone of the company’s latest commercial lineup and takes it back to its roots. The computer has 14- and 16-inch models and will support Intel’s latest Core Ultra Series 3. Panther Lake Processors. Although the base configuration uses integrated Intel graphics, buyers can upgrade to discrete Nvidia Pro Blackwell GPUs.
The Dell Precision Pro is expected to begin shipping sometime in May, although an exact launch window and price have not yet been announced. The Precision Pros are some of Dell’s most capable business laptops, so expect these machines to cost a pretty penny.
The two-in-one version of the Dell Pro 7 can be flipped along the hinge, transforming the clamshell computer into tablet mode.
Dell Pro range: 3 lightweight laptops and 2-in-1 reveal
Three new Dell Pros are added to the professional lineup, with a numerical naming scheme that indicates the power (and price) of performance. The Dell Pro 3, 5, and 7 all come in different sizes and meet different business needs.
The Dell Pro 3 comes in 14- and 16-inch models with 1920 x 1200-pixel displays and Intel and AMD silicon options. The Intel configuration comes with Core Ultra Series 3 processors, integrated Intel graphics, up to 64 GB of memory, and up to 2 TB of SSD storage. The AMD configuration includes AMD Ryzen Series 400 processors and AMD Radeon graphics options. Dell Pro 3 computers weigh 2.9 pounds.
The Dell Pro 5s are quite similar to their less powerful Dell Pro 3 counterparts, but offer more processing power and graphics fidelity in their 14- and 16-inch models. The Dell Pro 5s feature a 1920 x 1200 pixel display and come in both Intel and AMD variants. The Intel configuration includes up to an Intel Core Ultra These laptops are heavier than their Pro 3 counterparts, weighing just over 4 pounds.
Finally, the Dell Pro 7s are the thinnest and thinnest models in the Pro line. Classic Pro 7 laptops come in 13- and 14-inch models, and the latest generation of pro computers also includes new 13- and 14-inch two-in-one models that share internal specs with the classic clamshells. All Dell Pro 7s feature 1920 x 1200 pixel displays and Intel and AMD configurations.
Intel configurations come with an Intel Core Ultra 7 366H vPro processor, integrated Intel graphics, up to 64GB LPDDR5x RAM, and up to 2TB SSD. AMD models offer up to a Ryzen AI 5 Pro 435 processor and Radeon 890M graphics card. As the thinnest and lightest Dell Pro laptops, the Dell Pro 7s weigh just 2.6 pounds.
The full line of new Dell Pro computers will launch in May. Prices are not yet available for these models.
The Dell Pro 5 Micro laptop can be carried with you from work to home, or it can be wall-mounted in an out-of-the-way location – a sort of “set it and forget it” setup.
Dell Pro 5 Micro helps you free up space in the workplace
We’ve seen a real rise in the number of products designed to power PCs on the go while completely avoiding the clamshell laptop design. One of my recent favorites is HP’s EliteBoard G1A, a new design that debuted at CES 2026 that packs the essentials of computing into a keyboard that can be carried around and connected to a monitor.
Dell now offers a laptop PC to its professional customers. The Dell Pro 5 Micro measures just 7 inches high and 7 inches long and weighs just over 2 pounds. Despite this, it packs some pretty solid internal specs, with configurations supporting up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 366H vPro processor, up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
However, you won’t be able to use this powerful computer on the go. The trade-off for ditching the laptop design is that you don’t have a screen, so you can only boot up the computer and get to work at a workstation.
The good news is that the Dell Pro 5 Micro supports up to five monitors at once, meaning it will meet the needs of workers who need to multitask (or relax… Tetris, maybe?) on multiple screens at any time.
The Dell Pro 5 Micro will be available starting March 31, but pricing has not been announced.
The Sony Stavris camera integrated into the latest Dell monitor will follow you as you move to your workstation.
AI capabilities for conference calls? That’s what the Dell Pro P 34 Hub Conference Monitor is for
If you’re looking for a new monitor for your workstation (perhaps to pair with the Dell Pro 5 Micro), you could do a lot worse than the Dell Pro P 34 Hub Conference Monitor. This widescreen monitor has a 3440 x 1440 pixel display with a 100Hz refresh rate.
Two built-in speakers and an array of ports make this monitor easy to set up and move to a workstation. The Pro P 34 has one HDMI port, one DisplayPort 1.4, two USB-C ports (one upstream and one downstream), one downstream USB Type-B port, and three USB Type-A ports (two Ethernet and one for battery charging).
What makes the Dell Pro P 34 a “conference monitor” is its built-in 5-megapixel Sony Starvis webcam and AI autofocus feature, which keeps you in frame as you move around the workspace. It’s not a revolutionary innovation, but it’s a nice value addition for a high-quality professional widescreen monitor.
The Dell Pro P 34 Hub conference monitor is available now for $750.
