Source: It Pro Archive.org version
If you can negotiate the price down to around 15% less, and you’ll take daily advantage of the power and portability it offers, there are reasons to consider the Inspiron 14 7000 over the less powerful HP Envy 13 and the more expensive Dell XPS 13. However, if you’re fussy about screens and keyboards, we suggest you steer clear.

The Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 is a mid-range laptop that offers decent but unspectacular performance, especially in terms of the screen and keyboard. It’s a great pick for the student on a budget, though, offering good battery life and versatility.

It’s tough to beat the affordable price of the Inspiron 14. The best part is the battery life, which can easily outlast your average day at the office. However, the Inspiron 14 lacks ports, with a dim, disappointing display and slow SSD speeds compared to the competition..If the Dell Inspiron 14 doesn’t suit your needs, check out the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 or the Asus Zenbook 13, which both deliver better performance and more eye-catching OLED displays for roughly the same price.

Meanwhile, AMD’s integrated Radeon graphics still aren’t made for serious gaming, but I was able to eke out a session of Fortnite at medium graphics settings and 50% display scaling. And, of course, less demanding games like the 2D platformer Axiom Verge 2 worked just fine. Still, I’ve had better gaming experiences with the Iris Xe graphics in Intel Core i7-powered laptops and our 3DMark Time Spy test shows that these laptops tend to fare better in gaming benchmarks as well. Overall, this Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 offers a lot to like, especially at its oft- discounted price of $. It’s a sturdy laptop with strong performance, a convertible touchscreen, loud speakers, and a convenient fingerprint reader. But the trade­offs you’ll make in pursuit of that lower price—most notably the dim display and stiff trackpad—might just keep you from outright loving it.

Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 review: A mainstream laptop you can fall in love with
Source: XDA Developers
The short answer is yes, the Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 is an easy laptop to recommend. Despite a few shortcomings, it still punches well above its weight. As mentioned, there are a few shortcomings. The screen falls short in the color gamut department, and performance takes a big hit when the laptop isn’t connected to power. And of course, the webcam is still 720p. With all of that considered, I still fell in love with this machine. It’s just a delight, from the keyboard with its larger keys to the familiar yet unique design that has rounded edges and a subtle blue color. Performance in general is pretty good too, as tends to be the case with AMD Ryzen processors. And let’s not forget that all specced out, it still only costs $1,049. If that’s the price target that you’re trying to hit, then I’m not sure what else you could want from a laptop.

60% Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 (7415) review: an affordable home machine
Source: T3
There is a lot of competition for the Inspiron 14 – £900/$1000 gets you a lot of computer these days. Overall though, the Inspiron 14 is a decent pick for this budget, with acceptable performance and build quality. It’s no gaming machine, though, and the compromises that keep the price down are evident in the flimsy keyboard and the screen that just can’t manage the brightness levels that make games and videos pop off the screen.

At first blush, the Dell Inspiron 14 7415 2-in-1's aluminum chassis and classy deep blue cover give the impression of a premium convertible, and its eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 processor acts the part with highly capable performance. After using it for a bit, however, the dim display will disappoint and the cheap touchpad will annoy. Plus, it's a bit of a bruiser even among larger-screened, tank-like convertibles. In the end, we think you're better off spending a bit more for a truly premium 2-in-1 from HP's or Dell's stable, or opting for Lenovo's AMD-based Flex 5 14 and pocketing the savings.

70% Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 review: A sad display on a good laptop
Source: Digital Trends
The Inspiron 14 2-in-1 is a difficult laptop to rate. It’s well-built and looks good, and it provides excellent performance and long battery life. Those are good enough to warrant the $1,000 price, just barely. However, the display is a letdown, and that creates a dilemma. If your productivity workflow is demanding and you don’t care about wide colors, then the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 will meet your needs in an exemplary fashion. The problem is, you can spend the same or less money and find laptops with similar performance and better displays. I’ll mention at least one in the following section. I’ll recommend that Inspiron 14 2-in-1, but with some serious qualifications. The Inspiron 14 2-in-1 is fast and power-efficient, but the display’s poor brightness and colors limit its usefulness for creators. If you don’t care about wide colors, then it works well as a productivity machine without any creative aspirations.

Dell Inspiron 14 Plus (2022) Review
Source: USA Today
The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus looks and feels like a premium productivity laptop, but its performance goes a step above compared to most laptops at its sale price. For an architecture or engineering student, a life or farming sim gamer, or a person with an unpredictable workload, its balance of core performance, graphics power, portability, and affordability would be a perfect fit. For everyone else, it’s simply a fast computer with a gorgeous chassis, decent battery life, and a good display. There aren’t many laptops like the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus these days—most are made with only power or portability in mind at this price range, and laptops with both power and portability are notably more expensive. For instance, the Acer Swift X has a slightly weaker processor, a slightly stronger graphics card, and a nine-hour battery life for under $1,000 at full price. If you wait for a sale, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is an excellent all-arounder with strong graphics performance, a nine-hour battery life, and sophisticated design. While it costs $1,500 or more at full price, we’ve seen it go as low as $1,100. The Inspiron 14 Plus is one of those laptops that’s obviously good but hard to quantify—it doesn’t top charts with performance, nor does it have some outstanding gimmick, but the attention to detail across every part of the user experience creates something special. Unless you need a powerhouse of a machine, a sublime audio experience, or ten hours of battery life, it’s hard to imagine who wouldn’t be pleased with this laptop.

The Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 (2022) is an all-around great deal in a market with a lot of inconsistency. This laptop, however, has an attractive price, good design, performs well in most areas, and the battery life is quite good. The only real drawback is what it doesn’t come with – a tablet pen – but that can be picked up for an extra $40/£40/AU$79 at checkout.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

73.81%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
