Customer Ratings & Reviews

In my opinion, The Dell Inspiron 14 (AMD Ryzen 5, 8GB RAM) is a lightweight and powerful laptop ideal for students and professionals. It features a 14-inch Full HD display, a fast SSD, and smooth multitasking with Ryzen 5 and 8GB RAM. The battery lasts almost 6-8 hours, and with the ExpressCharge allows quick recharging. While it handles my office work, streaming, and light gaming well, it lacks a dedicated GPU for high-end gaming. The premium build, solid performance, and affordability make it a great value-for-money option.

My sell labtop is performing at high speed and the resolution is phenomenal. The keys are very responsive and overall high quality.

Since the first day that I received the computer I have loved it there’s has been no issues and is a perfect everyday computer.

Overall it is nice. Still exploring the features. Glad I made the purchase. I like the touch screen feature.

The computer is great for school, perfect size, lightweight and the speed is very fast. A great computer for a great price.

Decent laptop for a good price, good laptop and portable foldable and touchscreen also very fast performance

I love this computer. I got it because I wanted to get something that could be used as a tablet and computer in one. The price was fair. The quality of it is amazing I am very happy with my purchase

Great laptop!!!! Haven't had any problems with it!!!!!

So happy I made the decision to go with this laptop. It's making my life so much easier.

This laptop is easy to use, fast, and the perfect size.

This laptop meets my needs. It is well designed. The touch screen works perfectly. I can add another monitor by simply connecting it to the HDMI port.

I like it alot and alot lighter n small for me. My old one was heavy n big. Always have battery issue. I hope the new laptop will last me long time.

I was hopeful trying this computer out, as I got it at a great price and had high hopes. The build quality is great, and I was impressed with that; however, that's where it stops due to the terrible Wi-Fi capability. Immediately after setting it up, I noticed the speed and connectivity issues weren’t due to my connection but the laptop’s Wi-Fi card. It will continuously connect and disconnect. After troubleshooting for two days, I had to manually disable the Roaming Aggressiveness to have it be somewhat stable but too slow to consider keeping. If the Wi-Fi didn't disappoint, it would have been a steal.

This laptop is garbage, do not buy!!! Very glitchy and annoying to use on a daily basis. The touchscreen was supposed to be an added benefit, but just makes life harder with all of the contact glitches and how often it takes a million years to start back up after just going to sleep!! And the battery life is definitely shorter than expected, plus I’m unsure why the computer keeps restarting or freezing while doing basic things like using a web browser. So disappointed, would have rather spent an extra couple thousand to invest in a good MacBook!

I bought this on Black Friday over all this laptop is the worst I’ve ever gotten. When you charge the laptop makes this loud sound like those old DVD player and sometimes when I turn it on it’s a black screen with the keyboard lights up or it shows that: (see picture) which I have to restart continuously

The Dell Inspiron 14 Model 7445 is a solid laptop for work or school. The computer is quick to boot up, comes with minimal bloatware, and performs well. I had some misgivings about a machine with just 8GB of RAM, but this machine surprised me. I have also been impressed with battery life. If I had any nitpicks, it would be the inclusion of a standard SD card slot as opposed to a more streamlined MicroSD card slot. Still, I have really enjoyed this laptop. UNBOXING: Inside the box, you get the laptop and a 65W USB-C power adapter. The 7445 is an AMD based system. It comes with 8GB of RAM, a Ryzen 5 8640HS processor, and a Radeon 760M graphics. There are two USB-C ports, but one of those ports will be used for the AC adapter. There are also two USB-A ports, a headphone jack, and the SD card slot. The webcam has a physical privacy toggle. The power button comes equipped with an integrated fingerprint scanner. There is no wired LAN port. If you need to be hooked up to landline for work, you may want to purchase a docking station or a USB-C to ethernet adapter. EXPERIENCE: This has been an impressive laptop. It is fast. The screen looks good. If I had a nitpick on the screen, it would be that there is a small amount of light bleed noticeable on black screens. It has not been enough to bother me and colors look good. Audio is impressively loud. The fingerprint reader has been very reliable. The keyboard is super comfortable and responsive. I think Dell makes my favorite laptop keyboards; they just feel right. The keyboard has button to activate Microsoft’s Copilot next to the bottom right “ALT” key. I am still acclimating to AI integration, but Copilot has been helpful. It quickly provided a good deal of information and sources to the questions I posed. I really have been impressed by the battery life. The Dell 54Wh battery lasts quite a while. I got close to four hours with some pretty demanding streaming and internet browsing. With less demanding applications, I could see the battery lasting much longer. College students could easily get through their entire class day on a single charge. The 7445 is not terribly heavy, but it is not light, either. I enjoyed my time with tablet mode, but you do notice the weight when you compare this laptop to a tablet. Still, touch screen works well. Tablet mode is a nice feature to have. In my experience, the laptop has never gotten terribly hot. Thermals have been good on the laptop and the charger. HOW EASY IS IT TO UPGRADE?: The dell support documents on dell.com state that the machine can support up to 16GB of RAM or 8GB per RAM slot. The included RAM is an 8GB DDR 5 SODIMM running at 5600MHZ made by SK Hynix. Currently, there are two NVME slots built into the motherboard. One is currently using a 2230 512GB Micron NVME HD. The other slot is occupied by the Realtek 8852CE WIFI 6E card. If you want to add storage space, the machine is limited to 1TB maximum drives according to the support documentation. I have not evaluated myself, but it appears that the machine could support a 2280 with some slight reconfiguration of the bracket that holds the 2230 drive in place. So, the short is you could expand the storage from 512GB to 1TB and add another 8GB of RAM. GAMING?: Eh…. Probably not. This is not a gaming laptop. It is a daily work horse. It is great as a daily work / school PC. Having said that, you could stream games over GeForce Now or XBOX Cloud Gaming. CONCLUSION: This will be my new work laptop. It is small and just light enough for travel. The battery life is great. The screen is good. I will upgrade the RAM to 16GB, but I can recommend the laptop even with just the 8GB included. This is a solid laptop. I can easily recommend it. 4.5/5

It is an awesome computer, just be aware one star removal is for McAfee, I do not want it, but the only seemingly permanent way to get rid of it is to download a program from McAfee to remove it. This is the perfect multipurpose device, its 2-1 one design allows you to mark up with a pen, type like a normal computer, game a little, and use it for some time without needing to find power. Screen: The screen is big and usable for work or play. It is a touch screen and supports digital pens. I found Dell AES pen that didn’t work great, but then I tried a USI2.0 pen I have for a Chromebook, and it worked perfectly including the ‘eraser’ on the top. That is one problem I have with Dell is the pen compatibility is buried so deep it is seemly impossible to find if the laptop even supports it before you actually just try it. Keyboard: The keyboard has decent travel and is comfortable enough to type on. For extended typing I prefer my ergo keyboard, but this does work for on the go and medium length typing sessions. Mouse: The touchpad is a decent size and easy enough to use, I don’t hit it while I’m typing and the multi finger shortcuts such as three to switch between apps works great. Gaming: While this obviously isn’t a gaming machine it works for the casual to specific gamer type, you might just have to sacrifice some graphics or not play the most graphic heavy games. Stuff like Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite work great. Ports: It has an HDMI, 2 USB A, 2 USB C, Aux, and SD ports, I wish there was a USB C on each side but the selection is good for a slim laptop. Design: The design is slim, heavier than other laptops this size that I’ve used but also a little more capable too. I love the color; blue is a nice color option in my opinion. The fingerprint reader could be in a slightly better position, but it works. I did have to warn my wife not to press hard though as she put the computer to sleep the first time she tried to use it, hopefully that will only happen once for most users. The copilot button I thought was kind of dumb, but it’s just like a dedicated search button if what your looking for is decently straight forward. Just remember with AI, garbage in is garbage out and there is a lot of garbage on the web and depending on how you ask a question it can feed all that garbage as fact; it is a powerful tool, which can be mishandled easily, but I have been using it more than I figured I would. Overall: A computer like this is the perfect computer for school, work, or play. It can handle things like adobe elements (non-professional to maybe semiprofessional level video and photo editing), autoCAD, mathCAD, matlab, and other programs. Taking notes with a mixture of handwriting and keyboarding is possible and you have full OneNote capabilities which is awesome. The camera has a built in cover for privacy minded individuals and besides some bloatware I believe this is the perfect machine for everyday use.

I have followed the Dell Inspiron series for years, but have never owned one. The price for what you pay is great for an all-around laptop. I will start with what this device is not. This laptop is not for a professional user who wants to crush content creation. That isn't to say you can't edit photos or videos on this laptop because you can. But you would want a more capable device with a color-accurate screen for those purposes. The Unboxing was simple with no thrills. The build of the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 is quite good. A mix of metal and plastic makes it a sturdy laptop. It has rounded corners and edges which you rarely see on laptops in this price range. You can't open the laptop with one hand being a 2-in-1. The screen hinges are very sturdy. With very little wobble. The touch screen works and I didn't have any problems when it came to this functionality. The ports are what I consider the standard for a laptop. You get two USB-A (5Gbps) ports and two USB-C (10Gbps) ports. Both USB-C ports can charge and do 1.4 display out. You get an SD card slot and a weak HDMI 1.4 port. Come on Dell this is 2024 no HDMI port should be 1.4... You also get an audio jack. The CPU is the Ryzen 5 8640hs. I think this is a remake of one of their last year's CPUs. Anyways the 6 core and 12 threads are more than enough for everyday usage. No stuttering or lagging while checking emails, browsing the web, or video playback. It easily plays 4k videos at 60fps. The CPU also comes equipped with better internal graphics. So if you want to do some minor graphical work, you can. The typing experience was fine in my opinion. It's no mechanical keyboard but it does have a shallow depth to the key presses. It does have backlighting which works well in a dark-lit room. I do hate the Microsoft copilot key you get on the new laptops in 2024. You can upgrade the RAM which is a plus in any laptop. I think this is the best decision Dell made with this one. The first thing you should do is add more RAM since it only comes with 8 GB of RAM. Which isn't enough for basic tasks in 2024. The max the laptop said was 64GB of RAM when I checked. The audio sound was good as well. The laptop gets loud with down-facing speakers. Not the best but certainly not the worst. More than fine for watching videos. WIFI 6E card and SSD are both upgradable. The Negatives, man this thing came with bloatware... McAfee (CrapAfee), Microsoft Teams, Onedrive, etc. Uninstall all this garbage like I did. I hate that companies put all this crap on your device. All it does is take up space and run in the background. Uninstall this if you buy this device. Second, the trackpad is lacking. It is the worst I have experienced, but you can always use an external mouse. It is loud and just feels cheap. I would say this is the weak point of the laptop. Third, the 1.4 HDMI port... Dell is just being cheap here. Lastly, the screen's color accuracy. I think the manual says 45% accuracy. I know this is not a premium laptop but you can do better. The bonus is there are different color profiles you can adjust to get a somewhat better experience. Overall, this is a good everyday laptop. It is the right size at 14 inches. Not too heavy under 4lbs. Great for upgrades later on. Decent build quality with rounded edges. A passable typing experience. With the benefits of a touchscreen. With a few minor faults which I can live with. The Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 has become my new everyday laptop.

I had last year's model of this laptop and it's still going strong. This one has similar but newer specs and a different color. The first few days I had this one it had a problem of not fully turning on or going into sleep mode. When turning on you could see the keys light up, but nothing appeared on the screen then the keyboard lights would turn off. I highly recommend that you do all the updates and even Bios update before using this computer. Once I did that it fixed the issues I had and now the computer works perfectly. I downloaded an app from Dell called supportassist, this app allows you to get a complete picture of your computer with updates. I'm not sure why it wasn't installed from the factory but I would recommend using it. What I really like this computer is the keyboard, screen size, and that it can turn into a tablet. The touch screen is very responsive and works just like a table. When you have the computer in tablet mode it disables the keyboard and track pad. I mostly use tablet mode when playing games or watching videos. The programs I use for work are Microsoft products, zoom, and remote desktop. All the programs have performed flawlessly. When you have lots of programs open the fan does spool up, it's not overly loud, but it can be heard if in a quiet space. If you are a heavy user, you will want to upgrade ram to 16gb. The 8gb included is okay, but this computer would work better with more ram as it is upgradeable. The built in camera works fine for zoom or team's meetings. I wasn't overly impressed as the image was a little grainy and washed out. It's fine for meetings, but if you are doing a job interview, I would get an external webcam. The built in webcam also has a slid cover so you can easily keep the camera blocked when not in use. The speakers are actually pretty nice for a laptop. I have a gaming laptop that has a few speakers and while it sounds okay, this laptop with only two speakers sounds just as good. I believe this is because this laptop has Dolby Atmos built in and you can use it for the built in speakers or headphones. I was able to turn the volume to max on a tv show and there was no static or crackling sounds. The audio was clear and was able to hear it around my living room without any issue. It does have a built-in headphone jack if you would prefer to use a wired headphone. Battery life has also been pretty good. I use youtube tv to watch tv while working. On battery power with the screen brightness at 75% I was able to get 5 hours of video time with about 20% battery left. I thought this was pretty good for such a small light weight laptop. This computer did have some bloatware preinstalled. I'm not sure if this was dells doing or if windows decided to install programs. I spent some time going through and deleting the stuff I would never use. I did keep the Dell specific applications as those are usually helpful for updates and configurations. The power button is also a finger printer reader. It works very well and is easy to use, I honestly wish more computers had this feature instead of typing a pin or password. The rest of the keyboard is pretty standard, but I do find it easy to type on this computer. The mouse pad works great and has a nice click sound when you select something. Overall, I really like this laptop and would be great for someone who needs a laptop for school or work. It's a great size but still small enough to slide into a bag and light enough to not even notice it's in your bag. The power block is also small and takes up little space. If you are heavy into playing graphic intense games this is not for you.

First off, I didn’t think I would like the Midnight Blue as I traditionally go with the Black and Silvers on laptops but the Blue is REALLY NICE and I like it A LOT! This 2 in 1 feels like it is built like a tank! The entire thing feels SOLID. I am not scared when flipping the screen from laptop mode to tablet mode and back again. Nothing creaks, squeaks or feels like it is going to break! I love that the charger is set up at 65 watts so that it doesn’t take forever to get it charged up and the use time on it is very good in high performance mode and can be extended with other power saving modes and settings if I need to use it for an extended period of time for basic tasking that doesn’t require all the settings to be maxed out. Switching modes is easy with the built in software from DELL and Windows. I LOVE that it includes an HDMI, TWO USB C PORTS that are capable of both being charging ports, TWO USB A (one on each side) that are FAST, a headphone jack and an SD Card Reader Slot. That covers everything most of us need nowadays, especially if I am moving and grooving. I have all the inputs I need to be efficient and effective while on the go. One of my favorite features of the machine is the FINGERPRINT READER and its integration into Windows Hello! It works FLAWLESSLY and it is so much faster and more convenient than entering a password or PIN every time I need to get into the OS. This is a great machine for general tasking and everyday work both locally and online. The machine does start to struggle a little with more intensive applications like Microsoft Clipchamp/Video Editing which, to be honest, I did not expect. I have been running a Intel i5 with 12 GB RAM since 2019/2020-ish and it handles everything along those lines with only a slight stutter once in a while and on this Ryzen 5 with 8GB is definitely more noticeable and slows the process of editing down while waiting on the machine to figure itself out and allow my next move in the process. Being that this is 4 years newer I really thought the multicore and threaded RYZEN 5 would be MORE Capable than my old i5 and that the 4GB of RAM difference wouldn’t be that big of a deal. Sadly, it is and if I were to continue using this machine for more intensive applications like video editing and casual gaming, I would REALLY consider adding RAM or, knowing what I know now, I would select a version with more RAM and I am actually leaning toward maybe even wanting to stick with Intel and getting the i5 or better in this machine. For users that do not do this intensive processing like I do occasionally this machine is MORE THAN up to the task of everyday work. It will handle being online, multiple tabs, having open spreadsheets and documents and solitaire and a few other things just fine with no issue whatsoever. Again, the build of this machine is TOP NOTCH and solid. There is no plastic creaking or bending and even the keyboard cover around the keys is a metal piece that feels durable and not flexible or iffy. Typing is comfortable once I got used to how far away the backspace key was compared to the keyboard I am used to. I do not miss the side number keys as much as I thought I would and without those and this machine being a 14 inch screen, it allows for a more compact unit overall making moving around with it much less cumbersome than with my 15.6 inch laptop. Also, it is a “512GB Solid State Drive” of which only 391 GB is actually usable. I really expected that number to be a little better and in the range of 450-475GB usable. I am really not sure where the 121GB is being used here and that was a little bit of a let down if I am being honest. Lastly, the machine handles the heat really well. Nothing close to hot, but a little more than warm. It flows everything out the back from the underside of the keyboard. This machine has the added benefit of tablet mode, which is why this was initially so attractive to me. It is 14 inches and that puts it in a space bigger than my tablet but smaller than my “primary” laptop and I thought this would be perfect for moving around and also when meeting with clients to go over plans and having them review contracts and “sign on the screen.” Here’s where I start to take away points on the machine a little. The graphics inside of the Windows OS look more poor than expected in tablet mode. Video playback and pictures do well but the OS windows look almost like an outdated machine to me. This is a WINDOWS issue I believe and has nothing to do with the graphics driver on this machine. Second is, I really wish this came with a stylus or pen so that working in tablet mode would be capable out of the box. I know this can be purchased separately but being this is my first 2 in 1 machine, I wasn’t even thinking that I would need to buy a pen to use it the way I wanted to because all of my other machines, like my tablet, have come with a pen included, out of the box. Not so much a hit against the machine but looking at the big picture….performance, price point etc. a pen would have made this a better value in my opinion. While on the topic, the price point is much higher than my HP 256GB SSD, i5 with 12 GB RAM that is 15.6 inches and picked up 4 years ago and this DELL performs less than the HP machine but for more money. I like the machine overall, the feature upgrades and the 2 in 1 mode and I understand there is a premium attached to all those features, plus I REALLY LIKE the build QUALITY but it doesn’t “excite” me, if that makes sense. I guess I am really hung up on the expectation that this RYZEN5 being newer and more cores was going to make my old machine look like an antique and it does not. However, with all that being said, the more and more that I use the DELL, the more and more I like it for everyday tasking. It hasn't skipped a beat while in use for “normal people” everyday use and only started to show signs of struggle when pushing it with higher demand tasking and applications. OK, OK, OK all that babble out of the way and let’s move on. Do I like it? Yes, I like it! …and I would recommend it to students of any level, high school or above and users who need a machine that will expertly handle daily tasking and internet use. Anyone who travels and wants to work or play on the go or watch a movie or video online. It works perfectly for all the general tasking we all do nowadays and it handles all that processing and performance with excellence. Users that need to do picture and video editing, CAD modeling etc. that require more resources to perform appropriately on the system then I would suggest this machine but with a higher grade processor and RAM numbers. This machine, with the AMD RYZEN5, AMD RADEON Graphics, 8GB Ram and 500GB Solid State Drive is more than enough for most people and I would suggest it and recommend it to and for most average users. The 2 in 1 is a nice feature to have access to and comes in really handy. I have used it very often since getting the machine and I really like that feature, although due to the high build quality here, the machine can become a little heavy to handle in tablet mode for extended periods. Overall, I really like the machine and I am happy to have it in my arsenal. It is really helpful with running my business and working with clients and is not a chore to cart around with me everywhere I go. Oh, the touch screen is SUPER GOOD! Very responsive, easy to clean and look great when viewing anything but the actual windows, in the windows system while in tablet mode and I love the on screen keyboard in tablet mode! It works very well. Video and everything else looks fantastic! I like being able to flip the keyboard to key side down and watching videos. It gets the keyboard out of the way and makes it look more like just a display is in front of me. It takes away that feeling that I am watching a movie on a computer and makes it feel more like I am watching it on a proper display. All things considered, I would buy this again. It is a really well built machine that handles 100% of the normal workload demands that I need it for and it does better than my tablet when switching back and forth between programs when meeting with clients and switching between pictures, drawings, tables, contracts and editing those in real time. I never have to wait for it in those situations and it keeps me looking professional. I know I have said it a lot already, but being a Contractor, I am in some places that I do not necessarily want to take nice tech with me into and this being built as good as it is I do not worry about it. I like having a machine that I can rely on that I do not have to be delicate with like some of the other stuff I use. This is one tough cookie and its a PC, its a laptop, its a tablet, it's a movie display, and so much more. I genuinely like the machine and if my last one is still good after 4-5 years this one should last me double that easily as long as a wrecking ball doesn’t take it out prematurely.
