    Dell Pro Max 14 in-depth review

    This looks like a quiet corporate laptop, but push it hard and the Dell Pro Max 14 starts to behave like something much more serious. In our tests, this compact 14-inch machine delivered excellent sustained CPU performance, stayed impressively cool under long heavy loads, and still kept the practical business features many modern laptops have abandoned - Ethernet, Thunderbolt 4, USB-A, and upgradeable LPCAMM2 memory.But there is a catch, and it can completely change the buying decision.

    Pros

    • Excellent sustained CPU performance for heavy workloads
    • Very good thermal control under load
    • Removable LPCAMM2 memory with up to 64GB configuration options
    • Accessible battery, SSD, Wi-Fi card, and cooling system
    • Strong port selection with Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, USB-A, and RJ-45 Ethernet
    • PWM-free display
    • Strong battery life for an H-series 14-inch laptop
    • Surprisingly capable Intel Arc 140T integrated graphics

    Cons

    • Only one M.2 slot, so storage upgrades require replacing the existing SSD
    • No SD or microSD card reader
    • Fans are slightly audible even at idle in the performance-focused profile
    • Touchpad click on our unit feels less crisp and refined than expected
    • Base 45% NTSC display option has very limited color coverage
    • LPCAMM2 is upgradeable, but not as common or inexpensive as SO-DIMM memory
