Excellent performance at a 2025 budget price!
The Dell Inspiron line of laptops is not one that has ever stood out in my mind in terms of high quality or excellence. However, this laptop offers the right blend of price, features, and performance that I think many students and or businesses will appreciate for general productivity and web application use! The build quality of the laptop is reasonable but not incredible. The laptop lid is not one-finger open capable, with a poorly tuned and very tight hinge that does not go flat or flip entirely over. The keyboard has a standard layout with a surprisingly excellent, quiet, and gentle typing feel. People with achy fingers or arthritis will love typing on this keyboard. The keycaps are a soft touch and quite comfortable to type on for extended periods of time. I am currently typing the review on this keyboard, and I would have zero problems using this for a full day of work or college-level essay typing. The only major disappointment for me is that the keyboard is not backlit. This is a surprising and disappointing finding in the setting of laptops in this same price range that have backlit keyboards. I don’t know why Dell decided to cheap out on this, but I do not appreciate it. The touchpad on this laptop is a traditional springboard-style trackpad with easier mechanical clicks at the bottom and impossible to click at the top. It is pleasant to use but not as great as haptic trackpad offerings out there. The speakers on this laptop are slightly above average in the world of Windows laptops in terms of loudness and sound quality. The screen is a “good enough” 300 nits’ brightness 1920x1200p screen (basically full HD) that looks great and performs as expected at this price. It has a 60hz refresh and does not support a variable refresh rate that can drop lower or higher based on your needs, which is a bummer as this can contribute to improved battery life. This is not a touch screen, and the scaling of the desktop in the Windows settings was set at 150% out of the box, which looked terrible to my eyes. I set it to 125% and it looked much better scaled with more usable workspace for apps and web browser pages on the 14” screen. Regarding some of the key specs, here is what you have on this particular laptop. It is equipped with a new 2025 Snapdragon ARM chip which is one of QUALCOMM’s newer 8 core 8 thread models that is still equipped with a ‘neural processing unit’ or NPU that is capable of handling modern AI tasks. This is not the fastest Snapdragon chip currently available, but I think it is going to be perfectly serviceable for most users. It has 16 GB of blazing-fast RAM built into the laptop, no upgradable RAM here after it leaves the factory. However, 16 GB is precisely the minimum of RAM I would recommend to most users these days, so I am glad Dell didn’t cheap out here with 8 GB of RAM. The 512 GB SSD in this laptop is large enough to be serviceable for most and is quite fast with well over 6400MB/s read speeds! Benchmarks: The Geekbench 6 scores show an interesting comparison between the higher end Snapdragon Plus chip available in some of the other Dell Inspiron line up offerings. I got a single core score of 1707 and multicore score of 5869. This is quite a lot slower than the Snapdragon Plus processor with a single core score of 2285 and a multicore score of 12790. However, this chip is more than powerful enough for basic computing tasks, productivity, and web apps. I personally noticed no difference in the speed of my workflow compared to my other computers that I am used to using, like my desktop PC with an i7 13700F processor. I also got a Speedometer 3.1 score on balanced mode on battery of well into the high 20's, which is highly respectable given that the test is all about how rapidly a computer can cycle through a demanding web app task sequence. This test is very relevant in an era where more and more workflows are being done through web apps rather than programs downloaded onto the computer itself. Now, to clear up a few expectations on this laptop. This Inspiron model is NOT one of these proclaimed 20-hour battery-life laptops. Based on my real-world mixed power use and screen brightness on balanced battery life, this is shaping up to be a 10–12-hour battery to me, tops. This is still excellent and vastly better than what higher-end mobile Intel processors have managed to return in recent times, so I know Windows lovers are going to be stoked to have a powerful and efficient laptop. Another expectation to clear up is that this is not a silent machine. This has a fan built in, and I was surprised to find that it spun up a lot to cool the laptop, even when doing low-intensity tasks like web browsing and Word processing. I will say that according to HWmonitor, my temperatures stayed nice and cool even during intensive benchmarking. Regardless, hearing fans is never my favorite thing on a professional on-the-go laptop. Altogether, I give this specific Dell Inspiron five stars out of five. This is a high-performing laptop that can be had, particularly on sale, at an amazing price-to-value ratio. Thanks for reading my review. I hope it has been helpful!

Good value, sleek, and capable laptop.
I appreciate the sleek-professional look and size of this laptop. The aluminum chassis and deck, along with the smooth edges give it a premium feel, and the subtle logo seems to disappear at certain angles. The lid needs two hands to open but stays firmly without wobble. The construction is solid, and the laptop remains quite portable at 3.3 lbs. The typing experience is enjoyable. They keys have decent travel and spacing. However, it is inconvenient that there is no keyboard backlight. The trackpad is very accurate and responsive. While the color accuracy is subpar and the brightness is quite low (300 nits), I still found the thin bezel 1920x1200, 60Hz screen decent. The anti-glare coating and wide viewing angles help, especially in the daytime. This laptop is superfast online if you have Wi-Fi 7/6E, or at least it will be future proof. Online calls and video meetings are smooth. The 1080p 2MP camera is quite capable. There are many available options such as Windows Studio, backgrounds, eye-tracking, live captions, and AI-related features that are helpful (some gimmicky). The mics pick up voices very well and the AI knocks out a lot of ambient noise. The speakers are mediocre but serviceable as expected from almost any laptop. The camera also has robust privacy features such as a physical cover slider, as well as “away” and “onlooker” detection. I am very happy with the performance of this laptop so far. The Snapdragon X-126100 CPU is quite efficient and capable. I did some rendering tests, and I was fairly impressed. Combined with the Adreno GPU, I was able to play some games as well at decent graphics. I checked the AI features a bit to test the NPU, but I wasn’t able to fully utilize it. Hopefully this will get better usage in the future. Now, the laptop runs on Windows 11 ARM, and while there are plenty of apps and games that are compatible, there are quite a few of them that are not, so I highly recommend checking for compatibility, especially if you use a specific program or game. The efficiency of the Snapdragon ecosystem allows for exceptional battery life. I was able to use the laptop for two full workdays –that is about 18 hours of normal productivity work and some video streaming. The laptop charges via USB-C quickly. There are plenty of ports available, including two USB-C (Thunderbolt 4?), a legacy USB-A 3.2, a headphone/mic jack, and even a micro-SD card slot. Sadly, no HDMI so an adapter may be needed. I was able to connect two monitors at the same time with no issues. In the end, I think this laptop is great for those who need a cost-effective, professional, sleek, long-lasting, capable laptop for typical productivity and content consumption.

Laptop for everyday users
The new Dell Inspiron 14-inch Copilot+ Laptop is an interesting device. It comes with the newest addition to Qualcomm’s latest budget friendly processor, the Snapdragon X. The Dell Inspiron is an ultra-portable laptop with all day battery life and a design and form factor built for portability. It was designed for light office work, AI related tasks, and media consumption. Screen The 14-inch screen has an anti-glare coating. Dell calls the screen type WVA. Not sure if the panel is IPS or VGA, but it looks more like a VGA panel. The screen does not get overly bright, and the colors are just adequate in my opinion. I didn't expect OLED quality from this tier laptop. The panel has a 60 hertz refresh rate at Full HD+ resolution. The panel is also a non-touch display as well. Features After installing all the necessary updates, the laptop worked without any hitches. The start-up was snappy and all the apps I normally use worked just fine. The Windows on Arm experience works much better than my initial experience a few years back. The Dell laptop comes with 16gb ram that is upgradeable. The storage available is a M.2 512gb NVMe SSD and comes equipped with a micro-SD card slot for added storage options. Headphone/microphone jack is included as well. McAfee trial comes pre-loaded as well. Using Windows on Arm a few years back was a nightmare. Slow load times, app incompatibility, and lack of storage options. Gone are those days. The Dell Inspiron laptop has 2 full function USB-C ports with power delivery, data and video. It also has a full-sized USB-A port. The keys are spacious and do not make loud clacking sounds when typing. The track-pad is large and has good response times. There is no back-light on the keys, so late night working will require lighting from another source. The Copilot features also add value. Features like Recall, Co-creator, and having an all-day battery makes this laptop a serious contender for mid-tier power users.
