    What a great little machine. This is my favorite everyday use laptop now. The size is super portable, barely taking up more room than my tablet. The touch screen allows me to play card games and mahjong right on my laptop, and my tablet might be a little redundant now. I had the 16” previous version of this laptop, and this little guy is more pleasant to use as long as you don’t need the extra screen real estate. The color is listed as Ice Blue, but it sure looks silver to me. I can only see some blue when I put it next to a plain silver machine. I thought it would be a little more colorful, but it’s plenty tasteful and attractive. There is some chassis flex, but it does not feel cheap or fragile, it flexes with confidence. The shape of the palm deck is brilliant, I don’t get fatigued when typing for long stretches, it’s got a smoothed edge on the front which makes all the difference for comfort. This is the best laptop typing experience since my ‘00s Thinkpad. High praise. Startup is instantaneous. Its important to remember that any new computer you get is going to need to download massive amounts of updates and restart many times. This is not the fault of the folks who made your computer, but the nature of modern operating systems. Dell’s updates were for the hardware and their own software, much less disruptive than all of the Microsoft updates. The fingerprint reader on the power button is great, I very much prefer using Face ID with an IR camera, but that might be a higher price point feature. The power button fingerprint reader is fast and accurate, I use a few different fingers and it reads them all instantly. I am disappointed by one facet of this laptop, the USB connectivity is rather pathetic and feels like a forced downgrade that hobbles connectivity for this machine, you cannot use real high speed external storage or true docking stations with this laptop. It will work fine with external monitors, but the speed of the ports is a little embarrassing. The fan does do some hard work whenever doing processor or graphics intensive work, e.g. playing a game, doing some video rendering, etc. When the laptop is sitting on a surface the fan is noticeable but not intrusive, but when I put the laptop on my cooling mat, which opens the bottom, the fan noise has a high pitched dentist drill quality to it. Overall, this is the best everyday laptop I’ve ever used and definitely a keeper. I look forward to years of good service with this Dell.

    After only a few weeks with the laptop, it is so far so good. The laptop is what I expected. My last few laptops have all been Dells so I know what I'm getting. If I had to come up with something that could use some improvement would be the battery..

    The Dell Inspiron 14 laptop I purchased from Best Buy works well. Like all new laptops it didn’t come with an optical drive. It’s got a 512 Gbyte solid state hard drive and 16 Gbyte of memory
