Reviews for the Dell Inspiron 14R-1296PBL
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
You don't get killer performance from the Dell Inspiron 14R-1296PBL, nor do you get the type of battery life we've come to expect from notebooks of this size. But if you're looking for a relatively lightweight notebook that will handle the basics and comes with a variety of wireless features, it is definitely worth considering. For an all-around better-equipped 14-inch notebook with superior graphics power and much longer battery life, the Asus U41JF-A1 is your best bet.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
