The Dell 14 Plus is the beige cardigan of laptops — not stylish, not exciting, but somehow always reliable. I mean look at it. It’s the most cookie-cutter clamshell with the personality of a corporate email signature. But after a month of using it, I’m thinking “hey, it gets the job done,” and with some gusto too!
That’s unsurprising, given this is essentially the sibling of Dell’s long-running Inspiron brand — dropped in favor of this simpler-yet-more-confusing lineage of Plus, Pro and Pro Max sounding like a line of caffeine pills. But underneath its extraordinarily bland shell, you’ve got a solid workhorse.
