DELL XPS 14 DA14250 laptop Intel Ultra 7-255H 16GB LPDDR5X 2TB SSD 14.5" OLED 3.2K touchscreen Graphite

Purpose and audience

The Dell XPS 14 DA14250 is a 14.5-inch laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor with 16 cores and 24MB cache. It carries 16GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD. The 3.2K OLED touchscreen runs at 120Hz. This specification suits professionals who need colour-accurate display output and fast storage in a 3.8lb chassis.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 16-core CPU reaches 5.1 GHz turbo frequency, while Intel Arc integrated graphics share the same thermal envelope. Under prolonged compute or media tasks the 60W Type-C power adapter feeds the 70 WHr battery to maintain performance. Thunderbolt 4 ports allow external GPU enclosures for workloads that exceed the integrated graphics ceiling.

Thermals, noise and power

The slim 0.9-inch profile relies on internal vapour-chamber cooling to move heat away from the processor die. Fan curves stay quiet during light office work and rise only when the 120Hz OLED panel and CPU are both driven hard. The 60W supply keeps the battery topped up during typical mixed use without demanding a larger brick.
