The Dell Pro 13 Premium (PA13250) launched in 2025 as the flagship 13-inch ultrabook in Dell's reorganized commercial lineup, the tier that effectively carries the XPS 13 torch forward under Dell's Pro branding. It's built for professionals who want a thin, aluminum-clad laptop with Intel's newest efficiency-focused silicon, biometric login, and a display good enough to edit photos or spreadsheets on all day without a second monitor. Buyers choose between Intel Core Ultra 5 and Ultra 7 Series 2 processors and a non-touch or touchscreen display, which is exactly what the picker above lets you set. Because it's a recent release with a business pedigree, IT departments retire fleets of these on regular refresh cycles, which keeps demand for clean units steady. Pick your configuration and condition above for an instant cash offer, see how the process works, or head straight to the page to sell your Dell laptop.

Confirm you have the Dell Pro 13 Premium

The fastest way to confirm this exact model is to press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. The "System Model" field will read PA13250. You can also check Settings → System → About, where the processor line will show either Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7 with "Series 2" in the name.

PA13250

  • System Model field in msinfo32 or dxdiag reads PA13250
  • Marketed name on the box and BIOS splash screen: Dell Pro 13 Premium
  • Service Tag on the underside can be cross-checked against Dell's support site for exact build specs
  • Processor listed as Intel Core Ultra 5 Series 2 or Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2

Prefer a visual check? Look for a machined aluminum chassis with a flush, minimal port cutout on each side and a fingerprint reader built into the power button, top right of the keyboard. The bottom panel has no visible screws around a large intake vent, a departure from older XPS designs. If you're unsure which Dell you're holding, our guide to finding your Dell model number walks through it step by step.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core Ultra 5 Series 2
  • Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2

The Ultra 7 tier carries the strongest resale value of the two, especially in business fleets being refreshed together.

Graphics

  • Integrated Intel Arc graphics built into the Series 2 processor
  • No discrete GPU option on this model

Memory

  • LPDDR5X memory, packaged on the processor module
  • Fixed at time of purchase, not user-upgradable after the fact

Storage

  • PCIe NVMe SSD
  • Capacity is set at order time and factors into the resale grade

Display & audio

Display

The 13-inch panel ships as either a non-touch matte finish or a touchscreen variant, selectable in the configuration picker above. Both are tuned for color accuracy, which is why this line is popular with photo and video editors on the used market.

Audio

Onboard speakers are voiced for clear voice and video calls, the primary use case Dell designs this line around.

Security

A fingerprint reader is built into the power button, and an IR camera supports Windows Hello face sign-in, so no separate biometric peripheral is needed.

Ports & connectivity

Port selection favors Thunderbolt over legacy connectors, typical of a thin business ultrabook built in 2025.

Left side
  • Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), supports charging, data and external display
  • Headphone/microphone combo jack
Right side
  • Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), supports charging, data and external display

Battery, build & more

Battery

Series 2 processors are built for efficiency, and Dell pairs them with a battery tuned for a full workday of typical office use, though real-world runtime always depends on brightness and background load.

Software

Ships with Windows 11 Pro and Dell's management and support utilities preinstalled, which IT departments generally re-image before deployment or resale.

Market positioning

This sits at the premium end of Dell's commercial lineup, priced and specced above the standard Dell Pro line. Clean units with the Ultra 7 processor and original charger command the strongest interest from resellers.

Accessories

Typically bundled with a compact USB-C power adapter. Including the original charger, box, or any docking accessory helps the offer.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. The System Model field will show PA13250, and the Processor field will show whether you have the Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7 Series 2 chip. Settings → System → About shows the same processor line if you'd rather avoid the run dialog. The Service Tag on the underside of the laptop is also unique to your unit and can be looked up on Dell's support site for the full original build sheet, including which display option it shipped with.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Dell Pro 13 Plus?
Check the name printed near the trackpad or in msinfo32, since "Premium" and "Plus" are separate tiers in Dell's current lineup. The Plus tier generally targets heavier workloads and can run warmer under sustained load, while the Premium tier is the thinner, quieter model built around integrated graphics only. If the System Model field reads PA13250, you have the Premium, not the Plus.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes, a cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds a charge, or a unit that won't power on can all still be sold, and the condition picker above adjusts the offer accordingly rather than rejecting the device outright. Before shipping, remove your Microsoft account from the laptop and turn off Find My Device and BitLocker device encryption, since a locked device tied to your account can't be resold or refurbished. If the laptop won't boot, you can usually still remove account ties through Windows recovery options, or reach out for guidance before shipping.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Overall cosmetic condition and a healthy battery move the offer the most, since screen and chassis damage are the costliest repairs to refurbish. The Core Ultra 7 configuration also holds a stronger resale value than the Ultra 5, and including the original charger avoids a deduction for missing accessories. A clean account state, with your Microsoft account already removed and BitLocker off, keeps the process quick and avoids delays during testing.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose "Remove everything" to wipe local data, then sign in to account.microsoft.com and remove this device from your Microsoft account list. If BitLocker device encryption is on, suspend or decrypt it before the reset so testing isn't blocked later. Once your quote is confirmed, shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full steps, including what to do if the laptop won't boot, are in our data erasure protocols.
