DELL Dell 15 D15260 laptop Ultra 7 255U 12-core 16GB DDR5 2TB

Dell 15 D15260 specification

The Dell 15 D15260 is a 15.6-inch Windows 11 laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 7 255U processor with twelve cores and fourteen threads. It ships with 16 GB of DDR5 memory running at 4800 MT/s and a 2 TB solid-state drive. Integrated Intel Graphics handle the visual output on a 1920 x 1080 non-touch panel. The chassis measures 14.11 by 9.27 by 0.74 inches and weighs 3.7 pounds.

Best fit and limits

This machine suits professionals and students who need generous local storage and memory for large documents, spreadsheets or light creative workloads while moving between desks. The integrated graphics and 60 Hz full-HD screen make it a poor choice for gamers, 3D designers or colour-critical photo and video editors. Buyers who require a discrete GPU, a higher refresh rate, an SD card slot or a fingerprint reader should look at other configurations.

Deciding specification

The twelve-core Ultra 7 255U with a 5.2 GHz maximum turbo frequency is the single figure that determines whether this laptop can sustain heavy multithreaded workloads such as code compilation, virtualisation or large dataset analysis without thermal throttling. If your daily tasks stay within web browsing, office apps and media playback, a lower-tier processor will deliver similar battery life at lower cost.
