Dell released a wave of new laptops on May 29, 2026, just four days before Computex 2026 opens in Taipei on June 2. Amid a loaded spec sheet, nearly every flagship model in the new batch offers optional 5G cellular connectivity. 

While the capability has traditionally been reserved for ultraportable or enterprise-grade devices, Dell is signalling that always-connected laptops are no longer a niche requirement. 

Which Dell laptops now offer 5G in the US?

There are three models in this batch that ship with optional 5G cellular connectivity, all from the Pro 7 Series family.

First, there’s the Pro 7 Series 13 2-in-1 compact laptop that runs on Intel Panther Lake and costs $2,539 in the US for a custom configuration, or $2,989 for a pre-configured unit. 

You can spec the laptop with up to a 16-core Intel Core Ultra 7 366H processor, 64GB of LPDDR5X RAM, a 2TB PCIe Gen 5 SSD, Wi-Fi 7, and optional 5G. The fully loaded configuration reaches $6,353. 

For those who want a more affordable alternative, there’s the Pro 7 Series 13 2-in-1 with AMD Ryzen AI 400 (P703265), starting at $2,421 configured. It ships with up to the Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 470, 64GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM, 2TB PCIe Gen 5 storage, Wi-Fi 7, and optional 5G connectivity. 

If you’re looking for a slightly bigger screen, the Pro 7 Series 14 2-in-1 brings the same 5G option and is available in both AMD and Intel configurations. The AMD variant (P704265) starts at $2,552, while the Intel version (P704260) starts at $2,719. Both support up to 64GB RAM and 2TB PCIe Gen 5 storage. 

What else did Dell launch in the US without 5G?

Dell also launched three non-5G laptops in the US this week. The Pro Precision 5 Series 14 (PW514261) is a 14-inch workstation which starts at $2,577 and features Intel Panther Lake with vPro, LPCAMM2 RAM up to 64GB, and a unique Ubuntu Linux 24.04 LTS operating system option alongside Windows 11 Pro. 

Finally, there are the Pro 3 Series 14 and Pro 3 Series 16, the most affordable laptops in this batch at $1,579 and $1,569 respectively. Both laptops are powered by Intel Wildcat Lake processors. They support up to 48GB RAM and optional 120Hz displays.

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet
The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.
OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.

"That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community," says the company.
