Dell Pro 14 Plus with the Intel Core Ultra 5 236V processor, 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD is available at Mascom International for KSh 188,000, brand new and sealed. This configuration ships with Ubuntu Linux rather than Windows, a 14-inch FHD+ anti-glare screen at 1920 x 1200, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and Thunderbolt 4. The Dell Pro 14 Plus weighs from 1.40 kg in an aluminium body, so it moves easily between meetings. You can see it at our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where every unit is checked before it leaves.
Built for accountants, lawyers, developers and NGO field staff across Kenya, the Dell Pro 14 Plus suits people who live in browsers, documents and video calls. Many professionals in Upper Hill and Westlands lose time to laptops that heat up and slow down by mid-afternoon. The Core Ultra 5 236V answers with eight cores and a built-in AI engine, or NPU, rated at 40 TOPS for apps that run AI features locally. Developers get a clean Ubuntu install with no trial software to remove. The Dell Pro 14 Plus webcam has a physical privacy shutter, keeping client calls sharp and private.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that quote one price and deliver another configuration, Mascom International lists the exact chip, memory and storage of every Dell Pro 14 Plus we sell. Customers across Nairobi tell us the Ubuntu option suits them because their work already lives in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 on the web and KRA iTax. Pair it with the Dell Pro Dock WD25 and a Dell Pro P2426H monitor for a full desk setup. Visit us to try it, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Dell Pro 14 Plus
How much is the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 5 236V in Kenya?
The Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 5 236V costs KSh 188,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, sealed in its Dell box. That price covers 16GB of LPDDR5x memory, a 512GB SSD, Ubuntu Linux preinstalled, a USB-C power adapter and a 12-month warranty. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you inspect the laptop before paying. The Core Ultra 7 265U version of the same laptop sells for KSh 243,000, which is KSh 55,000 more for a 12-core processor.
What is the difference between the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 5 236V and the Core Ultra 7 265U?
The Core Ultra 5 236V version costs KSh 55,000 less and carries the stronger AI engine, while the Core Ultra 7 265U adds cores for heavier multitasking. The 236V has 8 cores, a 40 TOPS NPU and fast on-package LPDDR5x memory. The 265U has 12 cores and DDR5 memory. Screen, storage, ports and body are identical on both Dell Pro 14 Plus models. Choose the 236V for office work, browsers and calls; choose the 265U if you compile code or run several virtual machines daily.
Can the Dell Pro 14 Plus with Ubuntu handle KRA iTax, eCitizen and Microsoft 365?
Yes, the Dell Pro 14 Plus runs KRA iTax, eCitizen and Microsoft 365 through Firefox or Chrome on Ubuntu without trouble. These are web services, so the operating system matters less than a stable browser and connection. Google Workspace, Zoom, Teams on the web and online banking portals work the same way. Desktop-only Windows programs, such as some accounting packages, will not install directly on Ubuntu. Check your must-have software list with Mascom International on WhatsApp before buying.
Is 16GB of memory enough on the Dell Pro 14 Plus for office work?
Yes, 16GB is comfortable for office work on the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 5 236V. It keeps dozens of browser tabs, a video call, LibreOffice or Microsoft 365 documents and a music player open at once. Ubuntu itself uses less memory than Windows, leaving more for your apps. The LPDDR5x memory is fixed on the processor package at 16GB, so this model fits workloads built on documents, research, email and calls rather than large virtual machines.
How does the Dell Pro 14 Plus cope with KPLC power cuts and long days away from a socket?
The Dell Pro 14 Plus carries a 55Wh battery and charges through USB-C, which makes it easy to keep running through KPLC outages. Any USB-C Power Delivery charger or power bank rated from 27W upward can top it up, though higher wattage charges faster. Dell's ExpressCharge modes speed up charging when you only have a short window. For home offices with frequent outages, put your router on a small UPS so Wi-Fi stays up while the laptop runs on battery.
Who should buy the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 5 236V, and who should skip it?
Buy the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 5 236V if you are a developer, researcher, writer or office professional comfortable on Ubuntu who wants a light, well-built 14-inch laptop. Computing students at Strathmore or JKUAT will find native Linux useful for coursework. Skip it if you depend on Windows-only software, edit colour-critical photos or play demanding games. Those buyers need a Windows laptop, or one with a dedicated graphics card and a wider-colour screen.
Can the Dell Pro 14 Plus connect to external monitors?
Yes, the Dell Pro 14 Plus connects to external monitors through its HDMI 2.1 port and two Thunderbolt 4 ports, which carry DisplayPort video. A single cable to the Dell Pro Dock WD25 can carry video, data and charging together. Mascom International stocks the Dell Pro P2426H 24-inch monitor at KSh 30,000 and the Dell Pro P2726H 27-inch at KSh 34,000, both good matches for a two-screen desk in a small office.
Is the Dell Pro 14 Plus a good laptop for software developers?
The Dell Pro 14 Plus suits developers well because Ubuntu is the same Linux system many cloud servers run. Tools such as Git, Python, Node.js, Docker and VS Code install from the terminal or Ubuntu's software centre in minutes. The 16GB of fast memory handles an editor, a local database and browser testing together. Developers who run many containers or virtual machines at once should consider the Core Ultra 7 265U version for its extra cores.
Technical Specifications
Processor
- Intel Core Ultra 5 236V with 8 cores — handles email, browsers, spreadsheets and video calls running together without stalling.
- Boost speed up to 4.7GHz — short bursts of extra speed when you open large files or launch apps.
- Built-in NPU rated at 40 TOPS — a dedicated AI engine, so AI features can run locally instead of loading the main cores.
- Intel Core Ultra Series 2 design — processor, graphics and memory share one package, which keeps the board compact and power use low.
- Current Intel generation — recent enough to keep receiving Ubuntu kernel and driver updates for years.
Memory
- 16GB LPDDR5x memory — enough to keep dozens of browser tabs, a video call and office documents open together.
- Runs at up to 8533 MT/s — megatransfers per second, a measure of how fast data moves between memory and processor.
- Memory sits on the processor package — shorter paths mean quicker access and lower power draw than separate memory sticks.
- Fixed at 16GB and not upgradeable — the capacity you buy is the capacity the laptop keeps.
- Shared with the graphics — the Intel Arc graphics draws from this pool, so 16GB gives both room to work.
Storage
- 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD — solid-state storage with no moving parts, so it copes better with knocks in a laptop bag.
- PCIe Gen 4 interface — a fast connection that lets Ubuntu boot and large files open in seconds.
- Room for roughly 150,000 phone photos at about 3MB each, or years of documents and spreadsheets.
- Ubuntu needs less space than a typical Windows install — more of the 512GB stays free for your own files.
- Quick file search and app launch — NVMe drives read data far faster than older SATA drives or hard disks.
Display
- 14-inch FHD+ panel at 1920 x 1200 — the taller 16:10 shape shows more rows of a spreadsheet than a 16:9 screen.
- Anti-glare coating — cuts reflections from windows and office lights, so you squint less on bright afternoons.
- IPS technology — colours and text stay consistent when a colleague views the screen from the side.
- 300 nits brightness — comfortable indoors and in shaded spaces, though direct sunlight will wash it out.
- 60Hz refresh and 45% NTSC colour on a non-touch panel — fine for documents and calls, not for colour-critical photo work.
Graphics
- Integrated Intel Arc graphics — built into the processor, it drives the screen and external monitors without a separate chip.
- Smooth 1080p video playback and clear video calls on Zoom, Teams and Google Meet.
- Light photo editing and slide work run well; 3D rendering and heavy gaming need a laptop with dedicated graphics.
- External displays through HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4 — HDMI 2.1 is the latest HDMI standard, built for high-resolution monitors.
- Less heat than a separate graphics card — the laptop stays cooler on the lap during long sessions.
Battery
- 55Wh three-cell battery — watt-hours measure capacity, and 55Wh is a mid-sized figure for a 14-inch business laptop.
- ExpressCharge and ExpressCharge Boost support — Dell's fast-charging modes top up the battery quicker when time is short.
- USB-C charging between 27W and 72W — compatible USB-C Power Delivery chargers and power banks can charge it.
- Charges through either Thunderbolt 4 port — plug in on whichever side the socket sits.
- Battery life depends on workload and brightness — Ubuntu's power settings let you trade brightness for longer runtime.
Build and Ports
- Aluminium body starting at 1.40 kg — light enough to carry daily, firm enough for regular travel.
- 321 x 212 mm footprint, 19 to 21 mm thick — fits standard 14-inch laptop sleeves and most backpacks.
- Two Thunderbolt 4 ports at 40Gbps — connect docks, fast drives, external monitors and charging through one cable.
- Two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, RJ45 Ethernet and a headphone/mic jack — older accessories and wired internet plug straight in.
- Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 — Wi-Fi 6E adds the less crowded 6GHz band on compatible routers.
- FHD IR webcam with privacy shutter and a backlit keyboard — 1080p calls, infrared face-recognition hardware and typing in dim rooms.
