Is in del Between an infection. It has a new logo, and a new simplified approach to branding. Dell 14 Plus is one of the first laptops to launch water to test water in this new era, looking at the end of subbrands such as XPS and Insopiron. While the more exciting XPS replacement is still coming, Dell 14 Plus has come to step into the old Inspiron Plus laptop shoes.
Although it is away from the most exciting laptop in the world, it provides a solid balance of quality and value, if only it had more configuration options to classify it properly as a cheap laptop.

Dale 14 Plus is not what I would call a beautiful laptop. But I don’t think it is trying to happen. Instead, it is trying to be ineffective. In the past, it can mean a plastic, black shell. These days, this means that some distraction or jewelry with a silver chassis possible. Dell 14 Plus is successful in doing this.
More importantly, the laptop looks quite strong in the hand. The lid gives absolutely zero, the possibility is how tightly the Kaj is. You cannot open it with a finger – in fact, there is not even a lip on the lid for your finger. This lid is more thicker than normal, also, despite the device having only 0.67 inches thick. It is not thinner than MacBook Air, not, but it is thin enough to feel modern for the laptop of this price. It also allows enough rooms to squeeze into some heritage ports including USB-A and HDMI. It is in addition to two USB-C port and headphone jack. My only complaint is that both USB-C ports are on the left, which means this is the only side by which you can charge.
One of the one thing that prevents del 14 plus from feeling more premium laptops, is the screen. It has some thick plastic bezels, and it uses a heavy matte finish. While it helps to remove the dazzle, it makes the appearance the form as the demor, which makes it look more saturated. This is very bad, because the screen itself is a solid. It is a surprisingly well calibrated IPS panel with decent color coverage. According to my test, it tops the 332 Nits of Brightness, which will not shut down your socks, but will not be much more than the experience.
I should mention that Dell offers a better performance option on its 2 -in -1 model. It is a bright mini-LED display, although it is not currently available which I can see.
Dell 14 Plus has a serviceable keyboard and touchpad. On receiving the unit, I was concerned about the quality of the touchpad, as an aspect of the middle-level laptop that goes to compromise. The touchpad is not correct – the surface is not as smooth as I would like. But I am happy to say that this touchpad seems responsible, and the click mechanism is not very loud.

Dale 14 Plus has only single processor options, Intel Core Ultra 7 256V. It is the modern, efficient CPU of Intel that jumps a solid jump in battery life in the previous generations. I have already tested this chip several times, and Dell 14 Plus handles it properly. Dale 14 Plus also works relatively calm and calm. It is not the type of laptop that you buy to run heavy applications or games, but for school, office work, or lighting materials, Dell 14 Plus has too much muscle.
