This Killer Dell 14 Plus Deal Changed My Opinion of the Laptop

When I am for the first time Revue Le Dell 14 Plus (6/10, Revue Wired), my main criticism was on the price. At the time, the only configuration available had a storage teraoctet and cost $ 1,099. This injured me, especially since it would be a laptop of less than $ 1,000 more attractive if Dell sold an option of 512 GB.

But what happens if this 1 TB model was considerably updated? Well, it changes everything. The 14 plus is only $ 700 at the moment, directly from Dell, down $ 400 of its retail price. He dropped to $ 850 briefly during Amazon Prime Day last week before going up right away.

What you get for $ 700 is a laptop stacked with 1 TB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. It also has a resolution screen of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, many net for the 14 inch size. If you prefer a larger screen to work on, Dell offers the same 16 -inch laptop at the same price and specifications.

Compare this offer to my current recommendation for the best inexpensive laptop, the Asus Vivobook 14 (Snapdragon), which sells $ 750. The Dell 14 Plus blows this laptop at its sale price of $ 700. The battery life is just as long, but the display is better and the touchpad is more reactive. These are two areas where manufacturers of laptops tend to compromise to reduce the price, and the DELL 14 Plus uses high quality parts in both.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V is the key to the success of the laptop. It is a very effective processor. It also provides the most integrated graphics that I tested on a laptop. Do not expect AAA games on max settings, but for lighter stuff, the main Ultra 7 256V may surprise you. He was surprisingly well during a recent lan lan festival, with Counter-Strike 2,, Storm hero,, Starcraft, And some other light titles.

If you are buying a laptop at the moment, there is only one other laptop that would make me question the purchase of Dell 14 Plus. It’s the M1 MacBook Air. He obtained a price drop last week at Walmart, lowering the price at $ 599, and this sale is still strong. This is $ 100 cheaper than Dell and you do not make an appropriate MacBook, with its unrivaled quality of construction, its touchpad and its speakers. It is a pitiful amount of ram and storage, yes, but for the right person, this MacBook is probably the way to follow.

You can also find better quality Windows laptops, such as the surface laptop, which has a faster screen rate and a haptic feedback trackpad. But you will pay an additional cost for this and you will get less storage. At its sale price, Dell 14 Plus is almost impossible to beat.
