This machine is fantastic! It's a shame that Trump's import taxes have jacked up the price so it's over $100 more now than what I paid for it, but that's no fault of the machine at all.

This computer does everything I need and more. Streaming movies looks amazing, I can work and stream at the same time. Picture quality is great, ram is fast, if your looking for a laptop that will do what you need, I Highly recommend. It will run games too but not pc quality.

The Dell Inspiron 7440 2-in-1 14 is a solid, mid-range choice for home or office. The construction, typical Dell, is excellent with an all aluminum frame and a nice, solid feeling keyboard deck that doesn't flex under your wrists. The keyboard is a compact, chiclet style keyboard that seems standard on laptops these days, but the tactile feedback is very good. The keys are full sized, nicely spaced and backlit, but there is no numeric keypad. Typing on it is very fast. One nice touch, the function keys do double duty and can be set as either 'F' keys or media control keys by default. The 2-in-1 comes from the 350 degree hinge, which allows you to use it in laptop, tent, or tablet configuration, although at 3.5 lbs, it makes for a heavy tablet.
The 14 inch WVA (Dell speak for IPS Wide Viewing Angle) display is very sharp and bright with excellent color saturation and depth. Very comfortable viewing, with a small bezel, but not an edge to edge screen. The resolution is FHD+, 1920x1200, which makes the display slightly more square and allows a little extra length for documents, spread sheets, and so forth to be displayed. For videos, you probably won't notice any difference, but if you use this laptop for anything office you'll appreciate the extra display length. I did use it with a e-stylus in tablet mode, which worked well for sketching, although it's too heavy for sustained hand held note taking.
Out of the box, you get a USB-c AC adapter and power cord, the 2-in-1, and the ubiquitous safety information. Unlike other Dell laptops I've used, opening the lid did not turn it on. Turning it on required pressing the power/fingerprint scanner. After the Windows 11 install, configure and update session, you're ready to rock and roll. I was a little disappointed that the webcam didn't support Windows Hello, but swiping the fingerprint scanner was easy enough and certainly faster than a password or pin.
With an Intel Core 5 (120u) and 16GB of ddr5 memory, the 7440 was quite zippy handling word processing, spreadsheets, and email, even large spreadsheets and documents. Web browsing and videos were similarly snappy. Even light gaming (Diablo 4 at low video settings) was acceptable. I did try some photo retouch and complex drawing, which was also surprisingly doable. The 7440 did bog down a bit when I tried to do some rather complicated video editing, but that's to be expected. All in all, pretty surprising performace. I was able to go a full day on a single battery charge, so I think the spec'ed battery life of 8-10 hours is probably reasonable. One note, the speakers were adequate for Zoom, but a bit weak for watching a movie or video; a Bluetooth speaker or headset is a better choice.
There are two USB-c 3.2/displayPort connectors, 2 USB-A connectors and a HDMI port, so no lack of connectors. Either USB-c port can be used for charging the laptop. There is the ubiquitous mini-jack for audio and a slot for a micro-sd card. Bluetooth 6.0 and WiFi 6AXe provide wireless connectivity
Overall, the Dell Inspiron 7440 2-in-1 (Intel Core 5) is a solid performer, well built, and should last a long time. It's a good value, especially on sale. It should definitely be on your short list if you are considering a home office laptop.

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

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..

I wanted a "simple but capable & fast-processing" laptop. Nothing complicated to be done with it. I got it, and at a very good price, thanks to the floor staff's recommendations.
