Dell has put the Inspiron 14 5425 on sale for only US$449.99. The laptop features an 8-core Ryzen 7 5825U Zen 3 APU with an RX Vega 8 iGPU, 8 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage. Fortunately, both the RAM and storage are user-upgradable thanks to SO-DIMM and M.2 slots.

The 2022 Dell Inspiron 14 5425 is a mid-range productivity-focused laptop. Dell is currently running a clearance sale on the Ryzen 7 5825U-powered configuration of the notebook which slashes a sizeable US$250 off the US$699.99 retail price resulting in the US$449.99 final rate (via slickdeals).

In addition to the Ryzen 7 5825U, the Dell Inspiron 14 5425 on sale packs 8 GB of DDR4-3200 memory, 512 GB of SSD storage, and a 14-inch 16:10 IPS display with a 1920x1200 resolution. The IPS panel also supports touch input and boasts an advertised brightness of 250 nits alongside 75% coverage of the NTSC gamut.

While the hardware specifications of the Inspiron 14 5425 are nothing to write home about, the laptop is a pretty solid device as shown by our review. We gave the machine a “good” rating of 85% thanks in part to the strong CPU performance and long battery life.

Since our review unit was equipped with a Ryzen 5 5625U, the performance of the SKU under discussion should be considerably better, as the Ryzen 7 5825U on offer is faster in both CPU and GPU workloads. For instance, in the Cinebench R23 Multi-core benchmark, the Ryzen 7 5825U is, on average, 23.4% faster than the Ryzen 5 5625U per our tests. Similarly, the RX Vega 8 inside the Ryzen 7 5825U also outperformed the RX Vega 7 of the Ryzen 5 5625U by 17% in the 3DMark Time Spy Graphics.

Put simply, if all you want to do is handle office tasks and browse the internet, the Inspiron 14 5425 packs more than enough horsepower under the hood.

Finally, the Dell Inspiron 14 5425’s battery life is also pretty decent. The 54 Wh cell was enough to power the laptop for an impressive 12 hours and 50 minutes in our real-world WLAN test.

Long story short, the Dell Inspiron 14 5425 is a well-rounded office laptop that is certainly worth a look at the latest reduced price.
