Computer, Electronics, Laptop — Dell Pro 7 Series 13 Dell

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.

I’d buy one of these 4 gaming monitors while Amazon Prime deals are still live

Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

A monitor is one of those PC upgrades I’m usually reluctant to rush into. Too many options, and once you start looking at OLED panels, ultrawides, 4K resolutions, and high refresh rates, prices can get expensive fast. That’s exactly why Amazon Prime sales are usually a good time to start looking.

I’ve reviewed the monitor deals currently available on Amazon, and these four caught my attention. There’s a little bit of everything here, from a 240Hz OLED that should be fantastic for gaming to a 34-inch ultrawide and even a monitor capable of hitting an absurd 480Hz. More importantly, all four are on sale right now, with one down as much as 44%.

Asus Zenbook 14 hits the shelves to tackle MacBook Neo with OLED, better ports, and other perks

At just $100 over the MacBook Neo, you get an OLED display, more versatile ports, biometric authentication on all models, and a backlit keyboard.

Asus Zenbook 14

The entry-point Asus ZenBook 14 is finally up for grabs in the US market, and this one is staring right at the MacBook Neo with a handful of practical perks. Just like the MacBook Neo, Asus' offering also comes with an all-metallic build that uses the proprietary Ceraluminum material that we have seen on pricier ZenBooks.

But there are a handful of upgrades on this $800 laptop that set it apart from its $700 competitor from Apple. The most notable one is a 14-inch OLED display, which offers a much better viewing experience than what you get on the MacBook Neo. The port selection is also pretty generous, as you get a pair of USB-C ports, a full-size USB Type-A port, and an HDMI port as well.
