New productivity features help users work more efficiently throughout the day, wherever work happens
SYDNEY, Australia – September 2, 2026 – Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) announces new Dell Pro Essential 14 and Dell Pro Essential 15 laptops built to help small businesses work more efficiently.
Thinner and lighter than the previous generation with reliable performance, thoughtful productivity features and built-in security, they give growing teams the tools they need to stay productive wherever work takes them. The Dell Pro Essential lineup reflects Dell’s commitment to giving small businesses quality and reliable technology at an accessible price point.
Small businesses don’t have IT departments to troubleshoot problems or procurement teams to manage complexity. They need technology that works reliably from day one, travels easily between customers and locations and doesn’t require a second thought. Dell Pro Essential 14 and 15 are purpose-built to meet that standard, with business-ready performance, security and manageability at a price point that makes sense for growing teams.
A thinner, lighter design for teams on the move
Dell Pro Essential 14 and 15 laptops feature an 11% thinner and 9 to 16% lighter design than the previous generation, making them easier to carry between meetings, offices and customer sites. Available in Celestial Blue and Platinum Silver, the laptops offer a modern, professional look suited to a range of small business environments.
Maximising workday productivity
Both laptops include a refreshed keyboard with shortcut keys that help save time on common tasks, including a dedicated microphone mute key with LED indicator, a dictation key for faster voice input and a snapshot key for quick screen captures. The touchpad is 6% larger than the previous generation,[4] giving users more room to navigate and multitask comfortably.
Display options include FHD+ (400 nits) and 2.5K (500 nits) panels, improving visibility in bright work settings. The display’s 16:10 aspect ratio gives users more vertical screen space for documents, webpages and side-by-side work. HD and FHD IR camera choices, along with dual microphones, make for clearer meeting experiences whether working from the office or on the go.
Performance and connectivity for the modern small business
Available with Intel® Core™ Series 3 or AMD Ryzen™ 200 Series processors, memory configurations up to 64GB and SSD storage up to 1TB, Dell Pro Essential 14 and 15 offer sustained performance and multitasking. Versatile port options include two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI, audio jack, plus an RJ-45 Ethernet port on Intel models, giving small businesses the connectivity and flexibility wherever they work.
Secure, reliable and responsibly built
Both laptops include Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a hardware-based security chip, biometric login optionstter and a security lock slot. Tested to MIL-810H standards, Dell Pro Essential 14 and 15 are built to hold up to the demands of everyday business use.

Zach Noskey, Head of Product for Commercial Notebooks & Education, Dell Technologies:
“When you’re running a small business, your technology needs to keep up. Dell Pro Essential laptops are built around that reality: people moving between places, switching between tasks and needing a PC that works reliably and securely wherever work takes them. These PCs focus on performance, productivity and simplicity, at a price point that makes sense for small businesses.”
