Dell's pre-Computex 2026 laptop wave puts 5G cellular connectivity at the center of its premium lineup.
Computex 2026 This story is part of our coverage of Computex, the world's biggest computing conference. Updated less than 14 minutes ago 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.

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 , 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 starts at $2,552, while the Intel version 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 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.
