Pros and Cons

Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 7420

Strengths

I'm very impressed with this laptop...it's gonna have a really nice 14 inch 2.2 K display
The strong chassis design, good Port selection, very impressive performance between the CPU and the GPU, Thunderbolt 4 Port that it has, the fact that it has upgradable Ram SSD and Wi-Fi are all positives
The crystal clear array mics, the impressive full HD 1080p webcam, the decent stereo speakers and the respectable battery life all come together to make this a definite Choice here
It packs a punch under the hood...making it worth your money

Weaknesses

It can get a little hot depending on what you're doing if you're putting it on maximum load
The fans can get loud under heavy load which is to keep it cool of course and it is expected
The PCI gen 3 speeds here on the SSD are not the Gen 4 that we know it does support
A bit of a drawback, but there's a lot to like here

Dell 16 Plus

Strengths

Dell has rebranded this convertible from the Inspire lineup to the Plus series, signaling a shift toward premium design and performance.
The Core Ultra 5 to the high-end Core Ultra 9 processor options are a major upgrade.
The display is stunning, with a choice between a 16-in FHD Plus IPS at 60 Hz or a jaw-dropping QHD plus mini with a 90 Hz refresh rate.
The QHD plus mini display is vibrant, hitting 100% SER, 92% ad, and 100% DCIP3, perfect for creative pros.
Performance is strong, handling heavy multitasking, light creative workloads, and even video encoding with ease.
It's built for productivity, scoring high in Cinebench R24 and Geekbench 6.
The design looks sharp with its aluminum chassis, available in ice blue or midnight blue (which is basically black).
Students will dig the two-in-one flexibility and pen support for notes or sketches.
