Just received the new Inspiron 14 7000 today. I ordered the top of the line spec from Dell Australia on Oct 20th and it was delivered today after being assembled overseas.
First impressions below. It's basically the same form as my 2017 Asus Zenbook 13, but with a way bigger screen due to basically no bezels.
PROS
Screen is really nice - bezels are tiny, decent brightness (although could be brighter), 16:10 QHD is a nice upgrade from my old 1080p Asus Zenbook
Keyboard and mousepad are great - good travel, decent size
Speakers are super loud (although basically no bass)
Nice and fast, quick to bootup
Port selection is decent - TB4 USBC, 2 USB-A, HDMI, aux
Solid build - diamond cut edges, brushed aluminium
CONS
Fans are quite loud when they spin up - also blows hot air on to bottom of screen like Asus Zenbook due to the hinge
Can get quite hot pretty quickly under the keyboard and top of base near the screen
Seems still a little underpowered - noticed it struggling a little under heavy loads e.g. downloading many updates while running multiple Chrome tabs
Battery life is not looking amazing. Right now on "better battery" mode I'm at 75% with 6 hours battery left
Backlit keyboard during day makes letters impossible to see almost, but without backlight is fine. Would have preferred black keys but this is unique at least
Overall though I', pretty happy with it - great form factor, seems fast. Hoping it can play some older games decently.
Ran Cinebench R20 a couple of times. On battery - got about 1360 and then with power plugged in on performance mode got about 1750.
Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll try to answer them!
Side by side with my Asus Zenbook 13 (2017) BIOS AHCII'm considering purchasing a refurbished Dell Latitude 7400 from my workplace. They cost 300 euro, about 320 dollar the specs are as follows:
Processor: Intel Core i7-8665U
RAM: 16 GB
Storage: 512 GB SSD
I plan to use the laptop for school, some light gaming maybe and I also plan to use the laptop for general productivity tasks
Has anyone had experience with this model? How does it perform in terms of speed, battery life, and overall reliability?
