Dell unveiled a massive collection of PCs and monitors atCES 2025.
The company alsounveiled a new naming structure for its devices.
The Dell Pro Max 14 and Dell Pro Max 16 are the first devices in Dell’s new category of devices built for maximum performance.
With new names flying around and AI PCs galore, there’s a lot to digest.
Dell Pro Max PCs and monitors are consumer/commercial devices with high-end specs.
What is Dell Pro Max?
The Dell Pro Max 16 pairs up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU with an NVIDIA RTX 2000 GPU.
Anything with “Dell Pro Max” in the name is a gear designed for maximum performance.
They’re consumer/commercial devices that best equate to the old Precision branding by Dell.
Within Dell Pro Max, there are three tiers: Base, Plus, and Premium.
Up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 and an RTX 500-class GPU power the new Dell Pro Max 14.
Those tiers indicate the price range of a equipment within a category.
That same tier structure exists within the “Dell” and “Dell Pro” categories as well.
Other details about devices, such as screen size and form factor are included in names as well.
Typing those out reminds me of calling plays in American football, which require studying to memorize.
The change is controversial and it’s not clear how consumers will react to it.
For example, many know what to expect when they purchase an XPS laptop.
