Exciting, it's not, but if you're looking for an affordable, well-engineered laptop that sticks with the tried-and-true basics and gets your work done, the 14R is about as solid a product as you'll find. It's also the laptop to own if you're regularly separated from AC for long periods of time.

In June 2011, we said that Dell's Inspiron 14R found the sweet spot between low-powered netbooks and mainstream laptops, with features like USB 3.0 and a second-generation Intel Core i3 processor for $659. This 14-inch model isn't the lightest or most glamorous laptop, but at $649 it's a capable and affordable entryway into the world of Windows 8 touch-screen systems. Long battery life is a particular plus.

The Dell Inspiron 14R-5437 makes sense when you're using it to replace an older laptop or desktop PC. It's got the power and features to keep most entry-level users happy, with the added benefit of close to ten hours of battery life on a replaceable battery. In this regard, it is much better than the Lenovo IdeaPad Z400 Touch it replaces as Editors' Choice for entry-level desktop replacement laptops. The Inspiron 14R-5437 will keep going even when users around you need to start looking for a power plug.

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.
