Dell Pro 13 Plus 2-in-1 (2025): 64GB of memory in a 13-inch convertible
The Dell Pro 13 Plus 2-in-1 is a 2025 convertible built around a Core Ultra 5 225U and a remarkable-for-the-class 64GB of memory — double the convertible-class median of 32 — at $1,275. Its office score of 97.37 is the joint-best office reading of this entire batch, and reliability at 90 sits 84 percent above the class median. The graphics column reads 0 on our sheet — a coverage gap rather than a measured zero, the familiar story for this platform's integrated graphics.
Where it holds up
Office at 97.37, top-tier and joint-best of the batch, is the headline — this is a machine scored for work. Portability at 76 is high-band, the memory ceiling of 64GB is top-quartile professional territory, and reliability at 90 is top-quartile. Overall performance at 55.78 is mid-band, honest for a 13-inch U-series platform, and photo design at 35 is mid-tier for light creative work.
Where it falls short
The verdict names graphics as the weakness, and the practical reading agrees: gaming at 19 is low-band, 3D modeling at 28 is low-band, and engineering CAD at 34 is low-band. The graphics score of 0 reflects no matched measurement for the integrated GPU — a coverage gap rather than a literal zero — but the axis consequences below it are real: this is not a machine for GPU workloads. Value at 52.7 is mid-tier; the $1,275 buys the memory and the build, not chart positions.
Price and depreciation
At $1,275, the Pro 13 Plus 2-in-1 prices as a premium convertible, and its depreciation ledger is empty of dollar anchors — the 15 percent annual rate is class-level, with first-year exposure sitting with the buyer. The sheet argues the price is about the 64GB ceiling and top-tier office capability; buyers wanting scores per dollar will find mid-tier value here.
Alternatives to consider
The Pro 14 Plus 2-in-1 sibling sits at the same $1,275 with the same 64GB ceiling and the same joint-best office score, a larger chassis, and an actually-measured graphics score of 14.08. Below it, the Inspiron 16 Plus 7640 2-in-1 (2024) at $1,084 offers the same generation's office tier at 88.99 with a lighter price; its graphics sheet is the same coverage-gap story.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The Pro 13 Plus 2-in-1 is the office-first convertible of this batch: joint-best office score, a 64GB memory ceiling, top-quartile reliability and portability — against low-band gaming, modeling, and CAD axes, and a graphics column our sources never measured. For spreadsheet-and-documents work in a small convertible body, it is exactly the right sheet.
