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
