Dell Unveils Budget-Friendly AMD Krackan Point 14 Plus 2-in-1 Laptops with Exceptional Performance and Up to 19 Hours of Battery Life

Dell’s latest addition to its laptop lineup—the 14 Plus 2-in-1 series—now includes models powered by AMD’s newest Ryzen AI 300 processors. These machines aim to deliver potent artificial intelligence capabilities without breaking the bank.

Every year, Dell refreshes its laptop offerings to incorporate the latest from AMD and Intel. While their Core Ultra Series 2 laptops are already out in the market, the focus now shifts to their more budget-friendly AMD options, designed to bring robust AI performance to a wider audience.

Known for its high-end performance, AMD’s Strix Halo and Strix Point chips have made a mark in the premium segment. However, Dell’s introduction of the more economical Krackan Point series marks a significant shift, offering the latest 14 Plus 2-in-1 laptops equipped with AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 processors. Users can enjoy up to 50 NPU TOPs of AI performance with these versatile devices, ideal for staying ahead of the tech curve.

What makes this laptop stand out is its flexibility. With a 360-degree hinge, you can switch from using it as a traditional laptop to tablet mode with ease. It features a 14-inch display with a resolution of 1920x1200p, delivering vibrant visuals with a brightness of up to 300 nits. The touchscreen is responsive, ensuring smooth navigation whether you’re in the office or on the move.

Despite weighing a mere 1.59 kg, this laptop doesn’t compromise on power. Depending on your needs, you can choose between the 6-core/12-thread Ryzen AI 5 340 or the 8-core/16-thread Ryzen AI 7 350 processor, both built on the Zen 5 architecture to offer efficient performance across varying workloads. To handle graphics demands, including some light gaming, they come with either the AMD Radeon 840M or the Radeon 860M.

When it comes to storage, users have plenty of options: 512 GB, 1 TB, or 2 TB. However, the memory is fixed at 16 GB LPDDR5X running at 7500 MT/s. While this cannot be expanded to 32 GB, it should suffice for most light to medium tasks, making it a solid choice for professionals, students, and casual gamers.

Additionally, the 14 Plus 2-in-1 boasts impressive battery life, lasting up to 19 hours, giving tough competition to the Lunar Lake-based counterparts. Connectivity is also a breeze with various ports on hand, including Type A and Type C ports, HDMI 1.4, and modern wireless options like WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, ensuring you’re ready for anything.
