Dell is announcing a new lineup of Pro laptops to go with its recent Precision line relaunch. The new models have rejiggered names: Dell Pro 3, Dell Pro 5, and Dell Pro 7. The Pro 3 and Pro 5 models come in 14- and 16-inch models, while the Pro 7 will come in 13- and 14-inch with 2-in-1 convertible variants. All of them are due out in May, each with options for Windows 11 or running Ubuntu Linux. Prices are TBD for now.

The new Dell Pro laptops will be offered with a wide array of display and chip options, including both AMD Ryzen AI 400 series “Gorgon Point” and Intel Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake.” While there are many configurations of Dell Pro 3, 5, and 7 laptops, the company shrunk the motherboard and made it a modular drop-in design to fit all models across the line. This allowed space for larger fans and denser, thinner batteries, while permitting the thinner chassis designs. Dell is also using LPCAMM2 RAM in the Pro 5 for user-replaceable memory that achieves faster speeds.
Accompanying the new Pros are Dell Pro Precision 5 14S and 16S laptops. When they launch in May, they will be the entry-point into the newly revitalized Precision line. The 5S models can also be had with Intel Panther Lake or AMD Gorgon Point chips, though they’ll be some of Dell’s lighter workstation-style options focused on big integrated graphics instead of any discrete GPU offerings. The Intel version can be optioned with a Core Ultra X9 Panther Lake chip using Arc B390 graphics.
