Dell Pro 14 Plus with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265U processor, 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 512GB NVMe SSD is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 243,000. Each unit is brand new and sealed, with Ubuntu Linux preinstalled and a 14-inch FHD+ anti-glare display at 1920 x 1200. The Dell Pro 14 Plus adds Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, two Thunderbolt 4 ports and an FHD IR webcam with a privacy shutter. Our showroom sits on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, in the heart of Nairobi CBD.
Designed for engineers, accountants, sales teams and developers who keep many programs open at once, the Dell Pro 14 Plus handles long, demanding workdays. The common frustration is a laptop that freezes when a big spreadsheet, a browser full of tabs and a Teams call compete for attention. The Core Ultra 7 265U spreads that load across 12 cores, so heavy multitasking stays responsive. Ubuntu gives developers native Linux tools from day one, and data analysts can run Python, R and SQL databases side by side without waiting. At 1.40 kg, the Dell Pro 14 Plus is easy to carry between head office, client sites and home.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push whatever configuration they happen to have, Mascom International states the exact processor, memory and storage of each Dell Pro 14 Plus on the shelf. At Mascom International, we're seeing firms in Industrial Area and Kilimani choose Ubuntu machines to avoid licence costs on staff laptops. Pair this one with the Dell Pro Dock WD25 and a Dell Pro P2726H 27-inch monitor for a single-cable desk. Walk in to try it, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Dell Pro 14 Plus
What is the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 7 265U price in Kenya?
The Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 7 265U sells for KSh 243,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi, factory sealed. For that you get 16GB of DDR5 memory, a 512GB SSD, Ubuntu preinstalled, the USB-C power adapter and a 12-month warranty. You pay on arrival after checking the laptop, anywhere in Kenya. The Core Ultra 5 236V version costs KSh 188,000, so this model is KSh 55,000 more for 12 cores instead of 8.
Is the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 7 265U worth KSh 55,000 more than the Core Ultra 5 236V?
The Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 7 265U earns the extra KSh 55,000 only if your work loads many cores at once. It has 12 cores against the 236V's 8, which helps with code compiling, data analysis and several virtual machines. The 236V answers with a stronger 40 TOPS AI engine and faster on-package LPDDR5x memory. Both share the same screen, SSD, ports and body. For email, documents and calls, the 236V is the sensible saving.
Will the Dell Pro 14 Plus stay connected on Safaricom and Airtel networks outside the office?
Yes, the Dell Pro 14 Plus connects through Wi-Fi 6E to any Safaricom, Airtel Kenya or Telkom router, MiFi or phone hotspot. In the office, its RJ45 Ethernet port takes a cable straight from a Safaricom Home Fibre or Zuku router for the steadiest connection. This configuration has no built-in mobile data, so on the road you tether from your phone. Bluetooth 5.3 also pairs with earbuds for calls in noisy cafés.
Does the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 7 265U suit accountants who work with large spreadsheets?
Yes, the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 7 265U handles large spreadsheets well, thanks to 12 cores and 16GB of DDR5 memory. Recalculating big workbooks, filtering long ledgers and exporting reports stay quick. On Ubuntu you work in Excel through Microsoft 365 on the web, or in LibreOffice Calc, which opens Excel files. Accountants who rely on desktop Windows packages such as QuickBooks Desktop should plan to install Windows or move to the cloud editions.
Can I install Windows on the Dell Pro 14 Plus instead of Ubuntu?
Yes, Windows 11 Pro can be installed on the Dell Pro 14 Plus, because Dell sells this same laptop with Windows in other markets. You need a genuine Windows 11 Pro licence, which is not included in the KSh 243,000 price. Dell publishes Windows drivers for the model on its support site. Ask Mascom International on WhatsApp about a licence and installation before you collect, so the laptop arrives ready for your office software.
Who should buy the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 7 265U, and who should skip it?
The Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 7 265U suits developers, data analysts, engineers and power users who run many heavy programs at once and are happy on Linux. Postgraduate researchers at the University of Nairobi or Kenyatta University running R or Python models also benefit. Skip it if your day is mostly email and browsing, where the 236V saves KSh 55,000. Gamers and video editors need a laptop with dedicated graphics instead.
How portable is the Dell Pro 14 Plus for a daily commute in Nairobi?
The Dell Pro 14 Plus weighs from 1.40 kg and measures 321 x 212 mm, so it rides comfortably in a backpack on a matatu or boda boda. The aluminium body takes daily handling better than plastic shells. USB-C charging means one compact charger can cover the laptop and often your phone too. A padded, water-resistant sleeve is still wise during the long rains in March, April and May.
Can the Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 7 265U handle video editing or design work?
The Dell Pro 14 Plus Core Ultra 7 265U manages light video editing and design, but it is not a workstation for heavy creative jobs. Trimming clips in Kdenlive or Shotcut, retouching photos in GIMP and building presentations run smoothly on the integrated Intel Arc graphics. Long 4K timelines, 3D modelling and colour grading will be slow, and the 45% NTSC screen limits colour accuracy. Content creators doing that work should choose dedicated graphics.
Technical Specifications
Processor
- Intel Core Ultra 7 265U with 12 cores — more cores split heavy jobs, such as compiling code, into parallel pieces.
- Hybrid core layout — performance cores take demanding tasks while efficient cores run background work to save power.
- Built-in NPU — a small AI engine for software that runs AI features on the laptop itself rather than online.
- Intel Core Ultra Series 2 generation — current enough that Ubuntu kernel and driver support keeps arriving.
- U-series design — Intel's lower-power class, made for thin business laptops rather than bulky gaming machines.
Memory
- 16GB DDR5 memory — keeps a large spreadsheet, a video call and dozens of browser tabs open at the same time.
- DDR5 standard — the current generation of laptop memory, faster than the DDR4 found in older business laptops.
- Shared with integrated graphics — part of the pool serves the Intel Arc graphics, so 16GB leaves room for both.
- Room for a test environment — a small Linux virtual machine can run alongside your everyday apps.
- Lighter system overhead — a typical Ubuntu desktop consumes less memory than Windows, freeing more for your work.
Storage
- 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD — flash storage on the fast PCIe bus, so apps open and Ubuntu starts quickly.
- Gen 4 speed class — data moves several times faster than on the SATA drives found in budget laptops.
- Space for about 60 hours of 1080p video at roughly 130MB a minute, or thousands of client folders.
- No moving parts — the drive copes better with knocks and vibration than a spinning hard disk.
- Full-disk encryption supported in Ubuntu — protects client files if the laptop is lost or stolen.
Display
- 14-inch screen at 1920 x 1200 (FHD+) — the 16:10 ratio adds vertical space for long documents and code.
- Anti-glare finish — a matte surface that reduces reflections under office tube lights and near windows.
- IPS panel — wide viewing angles keep text readable when you share the screen across a desk.
- 300-nit brightness — suited to offices, classrooms and shaded verandas, less so to direct sun.
- Non-touch, 60Hz refresh and 45% NTSC colour coverage — right for business work, not for professional colour grading.
Graphics
- Integrated Intel Arc graphics — shares the processor package and memory, with no separate graphics card to power.
- Handles HD and 4K video playback, slide decks and video conferencing without strain.
- Light photo touch-ups in GIMP or Darktable work; CAD, 3D rendering and modern games need dedicated graphics.
- External screens via HDMI 2.1 and both Thunderbolt 4 ports — build a two-monitor desk from one laptop.
- No discrete graphics chip — a cooler chassis and less battery drain away from a socket.
Battery
- 55Wh battery — watt-hours measure stored energy, and this capacity is typical for a 14-inch business notebook.
- Dell ExpressCharge and ExpressCharge Boost — fast-charge modes for quick top-ups between meetings.
- Accepts 27W to 72W over USB-C — use the supplied adapter, a USB-C Power Delivery charger or a power bank.
- Either Thunderbolt 4 port accepts power — no fixed charging side, which helps in crowded meeting rooms.
- Runtime varies with workload — heavy multi-core jobs on the 265U drain the battery faster than light browsing.
Build and Ports
- Aluminium chassis from 1.40 kg — a solid, light body for daily carrying between home, office and client sites.
- 321 x 212 mm and 19 to 21 mm thick — slips into a standard 14-inch sleeve.
- Two 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 ports — one cable to a dock handles screens, accessories and charging.
- Two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, RJ45 Ethernet and a headphone/mic combo jack — no adapters for everyday peripherals.
- Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 — faster, less congested wireless on 6GHz routers, plus stable links to mice and headsets.
- FHD IR webcam with privacy shutter and backlit keyboard — clear calls, a physical camera cover and typing in dim rooms.
