MagyarDell Inspiron 14 7435 2-in-1 convertible review: Ryzen 5 7530U for budget users
The Inspiron 14 7435 2-in-1 is the AMD version of the Intel-based Inspiron 14 7430 2-in-1. It directly replaces last year's Inspiron 14 7420 2-in-1 with both upgraded internals and externals.
Our specific review configuration is a lower-end SKU with the Ryzen 5 7530U CPU and 8 GB of soldered LPDDR4x-4266 RAM for only $550 USD. A higher-end version with double the RAM and the Ryzen 7 7730U CPU is also available, but all configurations otherwise come with the same 1200p IPS touchscreen and integrated Radeon Vega graphics.
Competitors include other budget-oriented convertibles like the Acer Aspire 5 Spin 14, Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 7i, or HP Pavilion x360 14. A 16-inch version of this model exists called the Inspiron 16 7635 2-in-1.

Case — Revised Speakers And Hinges
Though it appears identical to the 2022 Inspiron 14 7620 2-in-1 at first glance, several differences are noticeable upon closer inspection. Firstly, the much-touted Mylar palm rests have been removed in favor of more ABS plastic. The special material was supposed to protect the palm rests and clickpad from grease buildup, but it ultimately proved to be unnecessary on a budget laptop such as this. Secondly, the hinges have been redesigned to be slightly larger and flatter which should hopefully improve longevity. And lastly, the speakers have been repositioned from the front corners of the chassis to the keyboard edges and so they now face upwards directly toward the user.
Chassis rigidity remains about the same as before due to their similar skeletons and choice of plastic materials.
Dimensions and weight are nearly identical to last year's model despite all the external and internal changes. This isn't necessarily a bad thing since the model is still comparable to alternatives like the Pavilion x360 14 or IdeaPad Flex 14 7i, but Dell could have gone the extra mile to make the Inspiron even more portable and lucrative to potential buyers.
Connectivity
Port options are comparable to the IdeaPad Flex 5i 14 and Pavilion x360 14 with just slight differences in the number of USB ports. Keep in mind that the USB-C ports on our AMD configuration lack Thunderbolt support unlike on the Intel-powered Inspiron 7430 2-in-1.
SD Card Reader
Transfer rates from the integrated SD card reader have improved slightly from ~20 MB/s on last year's Inspiron 7420 to ~35 MB/s on our latest model. Even so, the SD readers on competing models like the IdeaPad Flex 7i or Pavilion x360 14 are much faster by over 2x.

Communication
We're surprised to see Wi-Fi6E support on our base configuration. Transfer rates are steady when paired to our Asus AXE11000 6 GHz network, but receive rates are definitely slower than expected by almost half when compared to laptops with the Intel AX211.

Webcam
Dell has made no changes to the 2 MP or 1080p webcam. A privacy shutter is included while IR continues to be omitted to save on costs.
Maintenance
Dell has made one major change to the motherboard when compared to last year's design: RAM is now soldered instead of socketed as shown by the images below. Though unfortunate to see, soldered RAM is common on other budget convertibles like the IdeaPad Flex 7 or Acer Aspire 5 Spin 14.
Accessories And Warranty
There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and paperwork. The usual one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies.
Input Devices — No More Mylar
Keyboard And Touchpad
While the keyboard typing experience remains the same as on last year's Inspiron 14 7420, the design of the clickpad has changed due to the removal of the Mylar layer. It now sports a more traditional appearance while maintaining the original 11.5 x 8 cm surface area. Unfortunately, feedback when clicking hasn't improved as it still feels spongy and a bit too shallow.
Display — 60 Hz, 45% NTSC, 1200p, 16:10
This year's model ships with the LG Philips 140WU2 IPS panel to replace the BOE NV14N42 panel on last year's Inspiron 14 9420 2-in-1. Core attributes are otherwise almost identical for a similar viewing experience between them. The narrow color range, average response times, and mediocre contrast ratio are par for the course at this particular price range.
One aspect that deserved more attention relates to the dim brightness of the touchscreen. The low 200-nit range is sufficient for indoor environments, but our expectations are higher for convertibles since owners are more likely to use them when traveling or in brighter outdoor conditions. If outdoor visibility is a concern, then potential buyers should consider the pricier XPS 13 9315 2-in-1 instead which is 2x brighter than our Inspiron.

Color temperature is slightly too warm out of the box. A calibration with our X-Rite colorimeter addresses this problem for more accurate colors overall. However, note that colors will still be inaccurate at higher saturation levels due to the limited sRGB coverage mentioned above.

Glare is noticeable even when using the laptop indoors or under shade. The dim backlight is unable to overcome much of the glare from the glossy overlay which severely impacts viewability under outdoor conditions.
Performance — AMD Zen 3 At Heart
Testing Conditions
We set our unit to Performance mode via the MyDell software prior to running the benchmarks below. Conveniently, the MyDell power profiles are synced with the Windows power profiles unlike on most other models from competing manufacturers.
Processor
The 6-core Ryzen 5 7530U performs almost identically to the Ryzen 5 6600U since both are based on the Zen 3 architecture. Overall performance is comparable to the midrange Core i5-1335U as found on models like the Acer Aspire 5 Spin 14 while being well above any mobile Core i3 solution. AMD has tuned this CPU to be competitive against the Core i5 series in both performance and price.
Upgrading to the 8-core Ryzen 7 7730U configuration is expected to boost multi-thread performance by about 30 to 40 percent based on our time with the Asus Zenbook 14.

System Performance
PCMark scores are higher than on most other inexpensive subnotebooks particularly in the Productivity subtest. We suspect this could be due to the 6-core/12-thread configuration of the processor which may have a larger influence on the benchmark than the P-core and E-Core configurations of Intel CPUs.

Storage Devices
Our test unit ships with a budget 512 GB ADATA SM2P41C3 PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD offering read and write rates of up to 3600 MB/s and 3000 MB/s, respectively. It balances well with the Ryzen 5 CPU since super-fast SSDs are of little benefit to the target audience of casual home users or students.
There are no internal secondary SSD options unlike on the pricier LG Gram 14T90P convertible.
