Dell has overhauled its commercial PC lineup with four new Pro notebooks: Pro Premium, Pro 7, Pro 5, and Pro 3. The devices are thinner and lighter than their predecessors, pack Intel and AMI processors, and finally ditch the old Latitude branding for a cleaner, number-based naming scheme.

Which laptop is actually built for you?

The Dell Pro Premium is the executive pic. It is up to 7% thinner, the lightest of them all, and wears a classy magnesium alloy chassis in a dark gray finish. The notebook offers an optional tandem OLED display and comes with an 8MP HDR camera for video calls that don’t make you look like you’re broadcasting from a basement.

The Dell Pro 7 is for those who want it all in a small package. Up to 18% thinner than the previous generation, the Pro 7 is the thinnest 13- and 14-inch commercial laptop and 2-in-1 in its class. The edge-to-edge Gorilla Glass touchscreen can achieve up to 500 nits, and the higher trims can add OLED displays, 8MP cameras, and a mini-LED backlit keyboard.

The Dell Pro 5 could be a popular choice

The Dell Pro 5 delivers the most scalable performance of the laptops. It is available in 14- and 16-inch sizes, it’s up to 12% thinner than last year, and up to 21% thinner than competing designs. It also houses a 70Wh battery and optional OLED display, making it the practical workhorse of the range.

There’s another Pro 3, which starts at just 2.89 pounds with a scratch-resistant metallic finish, Wi-Fi 7, and solid battery life. Dell’s latest laptops run on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 or AMD Ryzen AI 400 processors with Copilot+ PC support.

Next-gen AI breakthrough promises chatbots that can read the room better

Researchers are teaching AI chatbots to read between the lines

Generative AI

Have you ever asked a chatbot something and felt like it completely missed your point? You say something with a bit of nuance, and the AI misses the subtlety entirely. That is exactly the problem researchers are trying to solve.

Even though the emotional connection with AI can feel deeper than human conversation for many users, most AI systems today still treat a sentence as a single block of sentiment. If you mix praise and criticism, the nuance often gets lost.

Turns out, if you ask an AI to play an expert, it gets less reliable

Asking AI to pretend it's an expert can backfire, but researchers may have found a fix.

you’ve probably seen the tip floating around: tell AI to act like an expert in a field, and you’ll get better answers. It’s popular advice, and it does work, sometimes. However, a new study suggests that using AI personas may not be as effective as we thought it would be.

Researchers from the University of California tested 12 different personas across six language models. The personas ranged from math and coding experts to creative writers and safety monitors. The goal was to find out how well AI performs when it is instructed to act as an expert.
