![]() The XPS 13 is smaller, lighter, fancier and has a much nicer screen, but you can get a $500 laptop that’s as powerful as a $1,400 laptop - something inconceivable even a year or two ago. These are the same basic guts as a $1,400 Dell XPS 13. ![]() There’s room for improvement almost everywhere - the screen’s a bit dim, the chassis flexes a bit and the speakers could use some oomph, but we didn’t hate any part of it, especially for $500.Īn 11th-generation Intel Core i3 CPU (four cores, eight threads) and 8GB of RAM means the Inspiron 14 will be able to handle normal office or school multitasking much more effectively than any cheap laptop from a couple of years ago, and the 256GB SSD is fast and big enough that you won’t run out of space right away. It even has a fingerprint reader, sliding webcam cover and a USB-C port that supports power delivery and video output, which is rare in this price range. It has surprisingly powerful guts, an excellent keyboard and trackpad, a serviceable screen, all-day battery life and pretty good build quality. The Dell Inspiron 14 has the best combination of power, battery life, usability and features - and the fewest major flaws - of any sub-$500 laptop we found. Ports: 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 with DisplayPort and Power Delivery, HDMI 1.4, 3.5mm combo audio, microSD.Display: 14-inch 1920 x 1080, anti-glare, non-touch WVA panel. ![]() Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account ![]()
