Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like it, I wish it was touch screen. But other then that its pretty good, easy and simple to work with.

Great laptop to use overall - great for having Zoom calls.

This is an excellent laptop for the price. I am using it for financial and accounting functions and it works just fine.

Smooth and excellent performance. Great for students.

Great purchase! I bought this for mom, she loves it!

The computer runs great. It slows down and gers a bit iffy when there is an update which is odd. Not sure if its a defeat or not but otherwise very nice computer.

Good computer for the price you pay. However, it has gone blank on me once.

Love this laptop! I was hesitant to switch to Dell from the Macbook but I'm loving it!

Dell-Inspiron 14" continues to impress as a top-tier laptop for students and professionals alike.

I'm truly impressed by this Dell Inspiron 14" (i5441). When purchasing a laptop, portability often ranks high on my priority list—and that's precisely where this device excels. No matter if you're working, traveling, or simply browsing from your couch, this laptop performs well in every important aspect. Reasons It Distinguishes Itself: — Ideal for Daily Use – It manages web surfing, document editing, multitasking, and even watching videos seamlessly—even with several Chrome tabs open. For everyday activities, it is consistent and dependable. — Outstanding Battery Performance – This is undoubtedly among the most efficient laptops in terms of battery life that I’ve experienced. Dell's transition to a Snapdragon processor truly highlights its worth in this context. I utilized it throughout the day for web surfing and document tasks while on the go, and still had more than 50% battery remaining. It frequently lasts longer than my other laptop, which is significant. — Thermals are pretty good, with the only noticeable warmth I noticed on the top of the laptop was from the area around the charging port. Not a fan of the vent blasting into the monitor, but this is not a high-heat machine so should not be that big of an issue. — Speaking of charging, it is done via USB-C and is thus compatible with most modern USB chargers, as long as they are beefy enough to supply enough power (less than 65W might still work, but not reliably from my experience). — Copilot+ Shortcut is Unexpectedly Helpful – I didn’t expect to use the Copilot+ button often, but it has proven to be a convenient method for quickly reaching Microsoft’s integrated AI tools. Although Microsoft’s AI isn’t revolutionary, it’s also not poor—and its integration into the system for immediate access is a pleasant feature. — Portable Design – The laptop is sleek, lightweight, and features a minimalist design. The aluminum shell may not be eye-catching, but it feels solid and sturdy. Simple and functional. — Generous Storage & Dependable Performance – With 512GB of built-in storage, I haven't even approached using it all yet. I'm not planning to store too much data on this laptop, so not much worried about lesser storage. The performance has surpassed my expectations—I haven't even looked into whether I need additional RAM since I haven't experienced any slowdowns at all. — Wireless Display Functions Smoothly – I tried it with a wireless display configuration and encountered no problems. Functioned exactly as expected. A few points to reflect on: — Subdued Design – It’s not a centerpiece. The design is sleek and business-like, yet it lacks eye-catching appeal. — Restricted Ports – Two USB-C connectors, one USB-A, and a 3.5mm audio jack. No HDMI, DP or ethernet port but that’s becoming standard for contemporary laptops. A dock is basically mandatory if you need connectivity, and you might wanna disable sleep/powersaving when plugged in when you do that as it seems to cause docks and connected devices to have odd glitches sometimes. — No CD drive, although an external drive can be added through one of the usb ports. — Not a Gaming Titan – It can manage certain games, particularly lighter titles, but don’t anticipate desktop-quality gaming performance. As with many laptops, the battery depletes rapidly during intensive graphics usage, making gaming optimal when connected to power. — Upgradability is also a mixed bag with the RAM being basically impossible to upgrade without some major shenanigans, so while 16gb is ok for most tasks for now (aside from things like local inferencing on large models or something), I would recommend going for at least a 32gb model if you plan to use the machine long term and want at least some future-proofing. Concluding thoughts: For those in search of a reliable, efficient, and low-maintenance laptop suitable for work, travel, school, or everyday tasks, the Dell Inspiron 14 i5441 is an excellent option. The performance relative to its cost is outstanding, and it meets almost all requirements for the typical user. Overall, I am very impressed with this laptop by Dell. It looks great and functions very well. It's easy to use and I really enjoy the AI features. The price point feels justified for the features and capabilities it offers, and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone who needs a reliable laptop for work or entertainment.

I couldn't be happier with the Snapdragon processor. Excellent platform.

Good performance. Best for students. Inbuilt AI is very helpful.

Very satisfied with the speed of this new laptop. Having a great time playing with AI.

With the Inspiron 14” laptop, Dell has created a great PC that combines powerful tech in a value-oriented package. After spending some time with it, I am impressed with the quality of this laptop, and would recommend it to someone looking for a spec-heavy PC without the spec-heavy price. Right out of the box, the Inspiron feels well-made, even though it's an all-plastic build. The plastic is of such a high quality that I initially wondered if perhaps it was a very light metal. The enclosure feels solid, and the hinge for the screen operates smoothly. As for the screen, it’s a 14-inch FHD (1920 x 1200) LED unit that looks pretty nice, and is able to display just about any content in a high-quality format. While it may not have the highest resolution, and boasts only a 60 Hz refresh rate and 300 nits of brightness, I found it to be perfectly capable as I used it to watch streaming services, browse the internet, and look at photos. The keyboard is nice, and the keys have a great amount of travel. Additionally, the keys themselves are made of a plastic that feels awesome when typing out long documents. The only thing I wish Dell included here was a keyboard backlight, but I suppose that’s part of how this laptop remains such a good value proposition. As for the trackpad, it's also very nice, functional, and seems right at home in this laptop. I don't have much to say, except that it worked perfectly during my testing and was definitely responsive when it needed to be. For ports, there are 2 USB-C ports, a USB-A port, a micro SD card slot, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Nothing too crazy, but I think this covers just about anything you might need in our modern era, and the SD card slot is a nice touch! Specs for this model are: - Snapdragon X processor - Qualcomm Adreno Graphics - 16 gigs of RAM - 512 gig SSD - Copilot+ PC As you can see, these specs mean this machine is absolutely perfect for use as a daily computer, handling just about anything the average user might throw at it. I found it to be highly capable at all tasks, except for serious gaming and more intensive programs, like advanced video editing software. I typically spend my time using my PC for research for work and school, looking at or lightly editing photos, watching HD content on streaming services and YouTube, and working on the suite of Microsoft Office programs. In all of these areas, the Dell Inspiron was adept, and easily powered through my day-to-day tasks. This laptop also comes equipped with the Copilot+ features, although I've found that these can be subjective with how useful each person finds them to be. I personally think they're just "alright," although I suppose, as they improve over time, it's good to be able to access them from this particular PC. The battery life has also been exceptional. I haven’t timed it, but the website says “up to 28 hours.” I am unsure if I could realistically hit that number, but I’ve used it extensively for most of a day at a time, and it’s still had power left over at the end of the day. I don’t believe that this PC would be great for someone looking for a true gaming laptop, as I just don’t think this style of computer is geared for that. Again, if you’re looking for a machine that can handle serious video editing software (or any similar type of program), this probably isn't the machine for you. If you’re looking for a laptop that is compact, capable, and ready to tackle all of your daily activities, the Dell Inspiron is one to check out. Dell has managed to create a laptop that is perfect for the average user and goes above and beyond with the latest processors and features. The value of the Dell Inspiron is simply exceptional, and I highly recommend this PC to anyone on the lookout for a new laptop!

The “copilot” can be annoying!! And I’m not familiar with all the windows 11 features.

The Dell Inspiron is a good budget friendly laptop. It's fairly slow running but does get the job done in the end.

The Dell Inspiron line has historically (depending on build and components) been a middle of the road consumer laptop. This model is perfect if you are looking for a budget and battery friendly model with decent build quality. HARDWARE: Glad to see they didn't skimp and included the 16 GB or RAM instead of 8, that is really the minimum in this day and age. The snapdragon processor is efficient enough for 99% of the normal usage for a consumer laptop for web surfing, school etc.. It is very good with battery life after about two hours of moderate use manipulating a spread sheet, surfing the web and listening to music I have an estimated 2.5 hours left. The screen is middle of the road, bright enough to be good inside and color rendering seems pretty accurate. I find outside the brightness might not be enough to plan on using it outside on a regular basis. However, how often are you in a situation where you can't adjust out of the sun? I had to reduce the ratio out of the box to 100%, then played back and forth a little larger to accommodate most programs. The keyboard is not back lit, enough said on that, why in this day and age of LED functionality????? Keyboard is a standard layout; the track pad is responsive, unfortunately there is no touch screen, I have really gotten accustom to having one. The shell seems about standard in terms of toughness. I like the blue color instead of the usual black, in a sea of laptops it is easier to find. The fan is moderately loud and runs about what I would describe as normal under moderate usage. Let's be clear, it is a fan, it is a little noisy, but it isn't going to wake the baby.

I’ve been using this Dell Inspiron 14” laptop for about a month now, and I’m really pleased with it. I use it mostly for everyday tasks like checking email, paying bills, browsing the web, Zoom calls, and organizing family photos—and it handles all of that without a hiccup. The screen is bright and clear, and I love the slim, lightweight design. It’s easy to carry from room to room, which is nice since I don’t have a set office space. The Titan color gives it a modern, classy look too. Startup is almost instant, and everything runs smoothly. The battery life is impressive—I can use it for hours without worrying about charging. The built-in Copilot features are a nice bonus. I’ve only used it a few times so far, but it’s handy for finding documents or summarizing things quickly. It feels like having a little assistant built in, which is great when I’m multitasking. Setup was easy, even for someone who’s not super tech-savvy. I just followed the instructions on the screen, and everything was up and running in no time. Overall, it’s been a great choice for home use. Reliable, fast, and easy to use. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a good everyday laptop.

This laptop has proven to be a bit of a conundrum for me. In the sea of options, where does this fit? Largely, it seems to be - just good enough. Starting with the build quality. For such a small form factor, this laptop has some heft to it. That extra weight, in my opinion, seems to add a sense this laptop is a little more premium than what it actually is. Now don't get me wrong, this isn't cheaply made, but it isn't premium either. The lid hinge is solid and stays exactly where you put it. I appreciate the overall feel and the resistance to fingerprints. The keyboard base is not flimsy and provides a stable typing surface. The setup process was horrifically long and tedious. So many steps along with multiple updates and restarts made this a less than positive experience. It was nearly an hour before I could actually use the device. Seriously? My download speeds at the time of setup were running at 162Mbps. A huge miss is the lack of a backlit keyboard, which, when coupled with low screen lighting renders this laptop almost useless in low light conditions. The key travel is good and the actual typing is pleasant and responsive. The rounded edges of the laptop frame are appreciated. No digging into your wrists or forearms when typing. So it types and it's good enough. The trackpad is a bit on the small side. At times some of my clicks did not register due to not pressing with enough force. While I would not say this was frequent, it was enough to be noticeable. Useable? Yes, it's good enough. The camera works decently and supports Windows Hello, which is hit or miss with face recognition. The automatic framing is a bit sluggish and falls short of some other devices I've used, but it exists and it works good enough. The speakers are plenty loud. You will definitely have no issues blasting sound across the room. However, the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Audiophiles will be disappointed, but then again, it's a laptop. The sound is below average and dull when playing music, especially at higher volumes. With video conferencing, YouTube, and lower volumes the speakers perform good enough. The display is less than impressive. Yes it is a FHD screen, but the colors seem quite muted. I wouldn't plan on doing any photo editing, color corrections, or graphic designing. Lines are dull and not crisp or clean. The bezels aren't what I would call thick, but they aren't the smallest out there either. Overall, the screen works fine for documents, emails, surfing, etc. Gameplay and anything graphics related would be better suited elsewhere. There are a few shining lights with this laptop though. There is very minimal bloatware, which means less time uninstalling apps. Battery life is pretty solid. With moderate use I was getting about 6 hours of on-screen use time. Charging is decently fast - not lightning quick, but far from slow. I appreciate the fact the PC thermal settings are adjustable. Lastly, I experienced very minimal fan activation even with heavier use. The processor seems to hold up and manage processes well. So, where do I land? Well, as I've stated, it's good enough. But for whom? Graphic designers or users will be let down due to the smaller size. muted colors, and hazy images. Audiophiles will find the sound output lacking. Gamers will likely not be pleased with the image quality, average processor and graphics. So that kind of leaves the causal user. Those who want to work with documents and spreadsheets, send some emails, browse the web, and maybe watch a few videos. Does this work for them? Yes, this laptop will do all those things quite well. They can open all the browser tabs they want and have multiple documents pulled up while streaming some low-level music and this laptop will handle it all gracefully. But herein lies the conundrum. If that is your use case, why spend the money being asked for this laptop, when less expensive models and even more powerful tablets with superior specs and less weight exist?

I purchased this laptop for my college daughter, to replace her MacBook. After three weeks, the WiFi drive corrupted. The return window has closed. Dell wants $99 to just speak to support. I have wasted hundreds of dollars. We are using usb WiFi adapter until her college tech support has an opening to assist.
