A typically reliable source has shared the first images of the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus. Despite arriving shortly after the Intel Meteor Lake-based Inspiron 14 7440 Plus, the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus will feature a tweaked design and revised port options.

Windows Report has provided a first look at what it calls the 'Inspiron 14 7441 Plus'. For reference, the website has also leaked equivalent images of the XPS 13 9345, full details of which we have covered separately. While the existence of the XPS 13 9345 was unknown until now, the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus had previously appeared on Geekbench as the Inspiron 14 Plus 7441.

Surprisingly, the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus features a different design to the Intel Meteor Lake laptop of the same name (Inspiron 14 Plus 7440) that we reviewed almost two months ago. For example, the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus lacks a dedicated AC adapter. Likewise, the full-sized HDMI port and USB Type-A port that grace the left-hand side of the Inspiron 14 Plus 7440 have made way from a second USB Type-C port to this side, as well as a MicroSD card slot.

Windows Report adds that the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus has a single USB Type-A port. Unfortunately, this cannot be seen in the images that it has provided. Although one would presume that the laptop has a 3.5 mm jack too, the XPS 13 9345 suggests that this is not guaranteed. Moreover, the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus has no rear or right fan vents, which Dell includes in the Inspiron 14 Plus 7440.

Still, the wide grille implies that the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus will actively cool its Snapdragon X Elite chipset. Based on a previous leak, Dell will offer the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus with at least the X1E-80-100, a 12-core chipset that sits between the X1E-78-100 and X1E-84-100 in Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite product stack. The same leak highlighted that Dell intends to sell the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus with 16 GB of RAM. However, this could be a minimum requirement for devices wishing to run Microsoft's new 'AI Explorer' in Windows 11, such as the Surface Laptop 6 and Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6, among other future Snapdragon X-powered machines.
