Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) is expanding its role in both education and enterprise AI as new products and internal changes strengthen its growth outlook.

Dell Expands Education Portfolio for the AI Era

The company is supporting schools through a critical moment in education as emerging technologies, like Generative AI, reshape teaching and learning.

The company has expanded its education portfolio with new Dell Pro Education and Dell Chromebook devices designed for durability, performance, and the demands of the AI era.

These PCs are engineered for the realities of student life, ruggedized to military standards (MIL-STD 810H) with reinforced corners, spill-resistant keyboards, and 180-degree lay-flat hinges tested to withstand tens of thousands of cycles, the company said. 

The new lineup emphasizes serviceability to maximize institutional investments, offering customer-replaceable batteries and up to five years of warranty coverage.

Intel Corp.’s (NASDAQ:INTC) N-Series processors power these devices.

The expanded selection includes 11-inch laptops and 2-in-1s for younger students, as well as new 14-inch Windows and Chrome OS laptops.

The new Dell Pro Education and Dell Chromebook devices will be available for order globally in February 2026.

Analyst Upgrade

Last week, the stock rose after Barclays upgraded it to Overweight, citing growing momentum in the company’s AI strategy.

Investors also reacted to an internal operational overhaul, dubbed “One Dell Way,” that aims to simplify systems, unify data, and reduce complexity across the business.

Dell COO Jeff Clarke said the revamp will help unlock AI’s potential by making it easier for customers to deploy AI workloads and for Dell to operate as a more integrated organization.

The move follows Dell’s acquisition of AI startup Dataloop AI and comes as the company reports strong AI-driven demand, including record AI server orders, helping support the stock’s rise.

DELL Price Action: Dell Technologies shares were up 0.79% at $111.95 during premarket trading on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
