The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus (2024) is a good midrange laptop by most measures. However, its display isn't as good as some others at around the same price.
Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 2024 MSRP $1,000.00 Score Details “The Dell Inspiration 14 Plus is fast and efficient, but its display lacks the luster of close competitors.” Pros Cons I just reviewed two laptops that cost $1,000 or less, the Asus Zenbook 14 Q425 and the Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9. They’re excellent machines with very nice OLED displays.
That’s an attractive enough price for a midrange laptop. Dell’s challenge is that recent laptops like the Asus Zenbook 14 Q425 and Lenovo Slim 7i Gen 9 are around the same price with OLED displays, albeit lower-res 1920 x 1200 models, and the excellent 2023 Asus Zenbook 14 OLED can be purchased for under $800. As we’ll see, the Inspiron 14 Plus is a good laptop with one hand tied behind its back.
I’m a bit conflicted about the Inspiron 14 Plus keyboard. It has nicely sized keycaps and plenty of key spacing, and the switches are deep and springy. But I didn’t like typing on it as much as I did the Zenbook’s or Slim 7i’s keyboards, not to mention my favorite, Apple’s Magic Keyboard. Maybe it was the bottoming action, which felt abrupt and fatiguing as I wrote this review.
Excellent productivity performance The Inspiron 14 Plus uses the 28-watt Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, a Meteor Lake chipset with 16 cores and 22 threads. It’s the most popular Meteor Lake chipset, found in most laptops I’ve reviewed in 2024. Every laptop maker touts the chipset’s Neural Processing Unit , which powers a few on-device AI tools like Microsoft’s Studio Effects videoconferencing utility. Mainly, the NPU is good for futureproofing and thus far has little impact on real-world performance.
I’ve seen mixed results with the Core Ultra 7 155H in terms of efficiency. Despite Meteor Lake’s supposed improved efficiency, most laptops with the chipset haven’t impressed. However, the Inspiron 14 Plus did relatively well with less battery capacity at 64 watt-hours versus 75 watt-hours in several other 14-inch laptops. I suspect the IPS display helped, although the Zenbook 14 Q425’s OLED display didn’t hold that laptop back from better longevity.
According to my colorimeter, it’s a very good IPS panel. It was bright at 418 nits and had good contrast at 1,690:1. But that’s well below the near-infinite contrast of OLED technology, and, by comparison, blacks still leaned toward grey. I suppose I’m spoiled by reviewing so many OLED laptops, but there’s a reason why the technology has become so popular.
