Dell inspiron 14 plus is not a head turner but a mid range laptop for everyday use. It has a sturdy feel and a professional slim metal look. The 14-inch screen is available in different resolutions, from 2.2K to QHD+ (2560x1600). The display is sharp, bright, and anti-glare, but it has a standard 60Hz refresh rate. The keyboard is comfortable with well spaced keys and has a backlight to assist in dark. Battery performance is decent enough to get through everyday work. It offers plenty of connectivity options, including USB-C (with Thunderbolt support), USB-A, HDMI, and a microSD slot, making it versatile for various devices. I find it light weight and portable.

I bought this in excellent condition used for 391.99 and it was practically brand new. I use it for school and light gaming, it has minimal issues. Great purchase at a great price.

Wow, I was impressed with the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus and the new Snapdragon X Plus CPU. It is fast and snappy. This is a great device for the average person who wants to browse the web, check emails, and do the daily task. The experience was great because I didn't have to worry about battery life. I got 14 hours of video playback at 40% brightness and the best battery settings. I was getting 10-12 hours of battery life when doing other tasks. That is all-day goodness which is new for Windows laptops. The laptop is very lightweight and offers a great package for on-the-go. You get a good screen with good colors. The speakers were quite good as well. The keyboard will be kind of shallow. Some may care for it some may not. I don't mind it because I have another Dell Inspiron with the same keyboard. So all day typing was no problem for me. The clicks are not that loud. The speakers are upward facing making the experience much clearer and giving more clarity. There was not as much bass though but that was fine. You get 2 woofers and 2 tweeters making the experience more lively. The QHD+ screen grants sRGB 100% and gets bright enough for day-to-day tasks. Now the Snapdragon X Plus CPU was extremely quick, fast, and snappy. No lags or stutters when it came to browsing the web or loading things. Maybe that is also because of the 8448 MT/s FAST RAM. I think that is the fastest RAM you can get now. You also get a WIFI 7 card which delivers fast WIFI speeds when connected to my WIFI 7 router. For ports, you get 2 USB-C which offers 40 Gbps speeds. You also get 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 A port. When you charge the laptop you do lose access to one of the USB-C ports. You also get an audio jack port and a micro SD card slot. I wish this was a standard SD card slot. Now for the Windows Copilot+ features... I tried them and I didn't care for them. I just don't have the usage for them. Also, I'm not a fan of having things limit my creativity. The one feature I see as a benefit is the Live Captions feature. I'm all for better communication The Windows Studio Effect was not for me. Yes, you can blur the background but that was the only benefit I got. The Cocreator can take your creations and generate AI images. It takes your image and words typed so it can generate the image. Sadly, all the images looked too artificial and not very real. I feel like the Copilot+ features are not very useful for most people. They were not very useful to me. The negatives about this laptop. With the name Plus, I thought the build quality would have better and stronger aluminum. Don't get me wrong the build quality is good and will last. But it feels the same as my regular Dell Inspiron 14. Also, the trackpad is not the most aesthetically pleasing. It feels kind of cheap but it still works. Yet, in the top right and left region there is no clicking anything. The RAM is not upgradable sadly. I would have loved to see this would 32GB of RAM! Overall, the laptop itself is great and offers a good experience. You get an all-day battery life. You get an extremely snappy device that will handle most of the needs of the average person. You get a good screen with good speakers. Lastly, you get good portability in a lightweight package.
