Dell Pro 14 Plus PB14250 laptop 14" FHD+ Core Ultra 5 225U 16/512 GB

The 14-inch IPS panel at 1920 × 1200 has a 16:10 aspect ratio, so documents and spreadsheets show more rows than on a standard 16:9 screen. With 400 cd/m² of brightness and an anti-glare finish, you can work next to a sunny window or in a brightly lit office without shielding the screen. IPS keeps colours even when viewed from the side. The screen is not touch-enabled.

The built-in smart card reader is essential in organisations that identify staff by ID card or company smart card, and it saves you from plugging a separate reader into a USB port. The fingerprint reader signs you in through Windows Hello with a single touch. Windows 11 Pro supports BitLocker drive encryption and domain join, so the IT department can manage the laptop alongside the rest of the company's devices.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225U is a 12-core processor with boost up to 4.8 GHz. The power-efficient U series is built for thin laptops: during routine work the machine stays quiet and cool, and when a heavier task arrives the processor raises its clock quickly. With 16 GB of DDR5 memory at 5600 MHz and a 512 GB SSD, Teams, Outlook, Excel and a browser run smoothly side by side. Integrated Intel Graphics covers office work and video calls.

At 1.55 kg the laptop is easy to take to a meeting, a client visit or a home office. The 3-cell 45 Wh battery suits working days when a charger is within reach if needed; the manufacturer does not give a runtime in hours. Wi-Fi 802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6, keeps the connection stable on a crowded office network, and Bluetooth 5.3 pairs a wireless mouse and headset with lower power draw.

The keyboard has an English (ENG) layout and backlighting, so the keys stay visible in a dim meeting room or on an evening flight. Estonian, Russian or other languages can be added in Windows settings and switched with a key combination. The manufacturer does not list the wired ports, so it is worth checking the connections you need in Dell's technical specifications beforehand.

Public sector bodies, banks and companies where sign-in is done with a smart card; office workers who often work in bright rooms and appreciate a 400 cd/m² screen; and specialists who travel a lot and want a compact 1.55 kg work laptop with Windows 11 Pro and a fingerprint reader.
