We’re used to a steady pace of technological improvement—and the idea that PCs we buy today may start to lag the performance curve after a few years. Each product cycle typically brings devices that are equipped with faster hardware and new features—but the improvements over our current systems may not prompt us to upgrade to the latest and greatest tech. The technological changes coming with the AI revolution are on an entirely different level—potentially reshaping industries, reinventing workflows, and fundamentally altering the ways we think about productivity. Older systems may not handle those changes well—or at all. To thrive in AI-infused environments, businesses may well need powerful AI-integrated laptops. The Dell Pro 14 Plus AI PC is a capable option—offering levels of on-device AI performance, general performance, and battery life improvement over its predecessors that can turn early or leveled-up laptop upgrades into winning investments in your company’s future success.
To determine the potential benefits of investing in new Dell Pro 14 Plus AI PC laptops, we used a wide array of general and AI-focused benchmarks to compare the performance and battery life of a new Dell Pro 14 Plus—powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 236V processor—to that of similarly configured two- and three-year-old Latitude laptops. We also ran battery-life benchmarks on all three laptops to gauge the type of battery life that users could expect in office productivity and video-conferencing scenarios.
In our tests, the Dell Pro 14 Plus significantly outperformed its two- and three-year-old Latitude predecessors across the full range of benchmarks, delivering significant improvements in AI performance, general performance, and graphics capabilities. The differences in on-device AI performance were massive—up to 10.6x in one workload. In addition, with up to four hours and 30 minutes longer battery life than its predecessors, the Pro 14 Plus AI PC can supply professionals with the flexibility they need to tackle demanding creativity, productivity, and AI-powered workloads anywhere.
