Perfect for school and everyday task

As a parent looking for a fast and reliable laptop for my teenage daughter’s schoolwork, I came across this Dell Inspiron 14” 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop. She wanted something quick, portable, and with a touchscreen. After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say this laptop is a great choice for both school and everyday use. This laptop stood out because it offers the right mix of speed, good design, and flexibility, all at a fair price. My daughter upgraded from an older Dell XPS, and this felt like the right modern step forward.
One of the best feature is the hinge as you can use it as a tablet or regular laptop. She uses tablet mode for drawing and taking notes, and laptop mode for homework. The hinge feels strong and doesn’t wobble and it’s well-built. With an Intel core 5 processor and 16GB of fast DDR5 memory, this laptop is really fast for everyday tasks. Apps open quickly, switching between tabs is smooth, and it runs videos and school programs without any slowdowns.
The 14” Full HD+ screen is clear and bright. The touchscreen is very responsive, and watching shows on Netflix or YouTube looks great. Unlike many newer laptops, this one still has lots of ports. 2 USB-C, 2 USB-A, HDMI, a full-size SD card reader, and a headphone jack. That means no need to carry extra dongles or adapters. It’s perfect for students who need to plug in flash drives or other accessories.
Security is easy too and there’s a fingerprint sensor built into the power button and a camera privacy shutter, which gives peace of mind as parents. The Ice Blue color looks fresh and modern. The laptop feels strong and not flimsy at all. The keyboard is backlit, well-spaced, and very comfortable to type on that is great for long school projects.
Battery life is good and it lasts through a full school day with normal use like browsing and watching videos. The 2K resolution screen looks great and also helps save battery compared to a 4K screen.
Only few drawbacks are the fan can get a little loud when doing heavy work like updates, and the speaker volume is decent but could be louder in noisy places. The sound quality is still good with Dolby Atmos, and headphones help a lot.
Overall, this 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop is a smart pick if you’re looking for a laptop that’s fast, flexible, and worth the money. It works well for students, professionals, or anyone who wants a reliable everyday laptop. My daughter loves how quick and smooth it is and how easy it is to carry to and from school. If you want a laptop that also works as a tablet, has a great screen, good battery life, and lots of useful ports, without breaking the bank then this one’s a winner. I highly recommend it.

Got this for my sister's birthday, it's her first laptop and she loves it so much. She's an artist so the touch screen option is a plus for her. I have a laptop too but I'm also kind of jealous that hers look that much better than mine. Would recommend!!

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.

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

Solid Mid-Range Choice

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.

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..
