Pros and Cons

Dell Pro 14 Plus

Strengths

Solid build
Nice new minimalist design theme
Modernized IO ports
Performance is very competitive
Modernized thermos have also improved significantly
Games like Counter Strike 2 comfortably run north of 60 frames per second
Thermals were the key problem with Dell laptops in the past however ever Dell really has turned a new Leaf over here
Self-upgradability is very limited, but you can technically upgrade the m.2 drive

Weaknesses

Cheap skate moments where Dell has some questions to answer
QA issue on my device slightly wobbling at a certain degree of tilt with the actual hinges
Display is unacceptable with full HD display and 60 HZ refresh rate at 300 nits peak brightness
Plastic surface trackpad is cheap skate moment
Limited upgradability, only m.2 drive can be upgraded
Fan noise not so much, hits mid 60 DB when anything moderately intensive
Speaker quality is not top of their mind and experience is pretty flat
Current MSRP pricing is expensive and justifies a $25% cheaper price tag

Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1

Strengths

The chassis rigidity just isn't quite there, but it's acceptable.
The keyboard switches themselves are fantastic, and for the most part, it is really, really good.
It is really, really close to being amazing. Might upgrade it to an A minus. Just give it an A minus minus.
It has a tiny bit of detail on this, even though it's completely black.
Dell has in the past neglected their webcams, but this one right here seems like they have changed that.
The battery is exceptional, and able to get us 8 hours and 48 minutes of battery life.
This thing comes in at $850 as spec, and it's on sale for $699, which in my opinion is a fantastic buy.
It's competent enough at everything that I think I can recommend it.

Dell Pro 14 Plus

In the realm of business laptops, the Dell Pro 14 Plus stands out with its sleek design and robust performance. However, upon closer inspection, this device reveals some underwhelming aspects that may detract from its overall value. The inclusion of a plastic surface trackpad, subpar display quality, and questionable QA issues with the hinges are just a few drawbacks that raise questions about Dell's priorities at this price point.

Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1

The Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 is an intriguing device that seeks to strike a balance between portability and performance. With its sleek design and impressive battery life, it's an attractive option for those who want a laptop that can keep up with their on-the-go lifestyle. But does it deliver in terms of raw power and feature set? I'll be putting this convertible through its paces to see if it's more than just a competent contender.
