A laptop is no longer a tool with a sole purpose; modern professionals and creators require a device that is as useful for completing tasks and collaborating on projects as it is for being your digital lifeline for entertainment, creativity, and casual use.

Dell understands that PCs must now fulfil a user’s every need, and the Dell Plus family of laptops is proof. The specs and hardware are impressive, but so are the numerous additional features included with the hardware, all designed to help you be more productive.

What sort of ecosystem has Dell built around its Plus laptops?

Dell has built a strong ecosystem of accessories – including keyboards, mice, headsets, stylus pens, webcams, speakers, docks, and displays – and software around its laptops, making it a snap to set up a seamless experience across devices, no matter your needs.

Using the same laptop for work and for play, of course, requires long battery life, and Dell’s Plus laptops certainly deliver. In our Dell 14 Plus review, we noted that “a full day of work isn’t cause for concern.”

Improving efficiency is the native Dell Optimizer app, which uses AI to quickly and intelligently adjust performance on the fly for a perfect balance. Within are also powerful collaboration and interaction tools, while network prioritizations ensure your meetings are never interrupted.

Dell Optimizer works flawlessly with Dell’s Display and Peripheral Manager. No matter how many of Dell’s accessories and monitors you use on your desk, the supporting apps make it easy to create a seamless experience across devices.

TL;DR: Buying a Dell Plus laptop means you’re getting a full ecosystem of supporting hardware and software, making it easy to create a seamless experience.

Can Dell’s Plus laptops link to other devices, like a phone?

Dell’s Plus laptops can connect to modern Android or iOS phones via Phone Link, allowing you to answer or make calls, send texts, and check notifications right from your PC. It’s one of the most convenient features available to Dell’s Plus laptops, and it’s one that I use all of the time, whether I’m working or casually computing.

Once linked with your phone, your Dell Plus laptop becomes the centerpiece of activity, reducing the amount of time you spend moving from one device to the other. No more missed calls, and no more pulling your phone out to check on a useless notification.

This feature has saved me so much time over the years, allowing me to get my work done more efficiently and effectively. And when the workday is done, you’ll have time left over to make plans with your friends – right from your PC.

TL;DR: Dell’s Plus laptops connect flawlessly with your phone, allowing you to save time and handle both devices from the same screen.

Dell Plus laptops include loud, clear speakers and crisp, high-res webcams, ideal for conferencing and collaborating with coworkers and other professionals. And because the Plus lineup has the right hardware to run local AI, additional tools like Windows Studio Effects can automatically make you look and sound as good as possible every time.

Working a freelance job from the beach? Use AI to dynamically change your video meeting background to give a far more professional appearance. Catching up with friends and family? Have some fun with filters and effects.

Everything that’s said comes through clearly on the speakers, and thanks to Dolby Atmos support, you can add additional spatial tools for increased immersion. Because Dell’s laptops are set up with the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth standards, you can always count on a fast and steady connection.

TL;DR: With clear webcams, crisp speakers, reliable Wi-Fi, and built-in AI enhancement tools, Dell’s Plus laptops are perfect for conferencing, collaborating, or simply catching up with friends and family.

Dell Plus laptops are ideal for creators thanks to sharp, color-accurate screens, a powerful Neural Processing Unit (NPU) to run AI tools, and a durable design with long battery life.

Your personal AI assistant, Copilot+, has full access to the latest AI features in Windows 11, designed from the start to boost productivity. Need an image for a presentation? Use the Dell 14 or 16 Plus 2-in-1’s touchscreen and active pen to sketch an idea and watch it come to life in seconds.

For creators who need accurate color reproduction, the mini-LED display in the Dell 16 Plus is a stellar option with enhanced contrast for deeper darks and lighter whites. And because Dell puts every laptop through a stringent, military-grade durability testing process, you get a slim and sleek PC that will be your everyday companion for years.

TL;DR: Dell’s 14 Plus and 16 Plus laptops are perfect devices for creators and freelancers due to their durability, performance, and high-end screens.
