Today Dell Technologies announced the availability of its streamlined Dell Pro and Dell Pro Plus AI PCs, alongside the newly unveiled Smart Dock portfolio, designed to optimise AI-powered workflows and enhance workplace management.

Building on its commitment to simplifying computing solutions, Dell’s streamlined AI PC lineup is categorized into three distinct offerings: Dell (for play, school, and work), Dell Pro (for professional-grade productivity), and Dell Pro Max (for maximum performance). The Dell Pro range now features expanded silicon choices, including AMD Ryzen processors for the first time, as well as Intel® Core™ Ultra processors (Series 2), delivering extended battery life and improved performance.

Amongst the latest additions the Dell Pro 13/14/16 Plus business laptops, offers a sleek aluminum design, unified BIOS management, and a combined driver set across silicon options to simplify IT operations. Meanwhile the Dell Pro 14/16 models cater to everyday productivity with 14- and 16-inch displays featuring a 16:10 aspect ratio.

Introducing the Dell Pro Smart Dock Family

Dell’s latest Smart Docks portfolio offers industry-leading power and connectivity for AI-optimised workflows.

These docks include the Dell Pro Dock, Dell Pro Smart Dock, Dell Pro Thunderbolt 4 Smart Dock, and Dell Pro Thunderbolt 5 Smart Dock. Designed to support AI PC workstyles, the docks deliver impressive power ranging from 100W to 300W and allow simultaneous support for up to four high-resolution displays without unnecessary cable clutter, and feature USB-A PowerShare ports for charging additional devices.

To further streamline IT management, Dell’s Device Management Console and Display and Peripheral Manager introduce cloud-based remote management for dock and peripherals, enabling firmware updates, fleet-wide device oversight, and large-scale updates without requiring direct PC connections or additional software installations.

Security & Sustainability

Dell continues to prioritise security and sustainability across its product range. The new docks integrate tamper-resistant hardware-based encryption and Wi-Fi protection to safeguard sensitive data. Sustainability efforts include the use of up to 65% post-consumer recycled materials and packaging made from 100% recycled or renewable content. The Dell Pro Dock also reduces standby power usage by up to 72%, supporting businesses in their energy efficiency goals.

“For enterprises adopting AI PCs, the stakes are higher than ever,” said Ed Ellett, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Client Peripherals Product Group, Dell Technologies. “AI workloads require a strong infrastructure, streamlined management and tools to maximize user productivity. Dell Pro Docks and workspace management solutions meet these demands while paving the way for smarter workplaces.”
