That is the finest deal on a laptop computer I’ve seen all 12 months. It is one of many few Black Friday offers that truly lives as much as the hype, the sort that I hope for at each main sale occasion.
I am speaking concerning the new worth of the Dell 14 Plus. Dell has dropped the value of the Dell 14 Plus to a brand new low: $500. I have been watching the value of this laptop computer all 12 months, and that is all-time low. This can be a premium-tier laptop computer promoting for a price range worth. After I first examined the laptop computer earlier this 12 months, it was solely offered in high-end configurations, with the Intel Core Extremely 7 258V, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage, and offered for $1,100.
Nearly as good as this laptop computer was, I did not suppose it was fairly price that a lot. However I did hope that Dell would drop the value. That is precisely what occurred. Now a laptop computer with nice specs, wonderful battery life, excessive decision show, and high quality touchpad is on sale for the value of an inexpensive laptop computer. They’re straightforward options to compromise on, however they’re additionally what makes the typical price range laptop computer really feel so low cost. This configuration is at the moment on sale for $650, down from round $800, and it is effectively definitely worth the cash.

This lower-tier $500 configuration actually takes it to a different stage. It comes with the identical 2560 x 1600 show, however drops the opposite specs barely. You get an Intel Core Extremely 5 226V processor, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage. These are nonetheless actually spectacular specs for $500. The Core Extremely 5 is barely slower than the Core Extremely 7, however you continue to get the environment friendly, long-lasting efficiency of Intel’s highest finish V-series chips. You merely will not discover one other $500 laptop computer that feels this good.
In truth, it is the identical worth Dell usually sells its entry-level Home windows laptop computer, the Dell 14, regardless of it coming with a decrease decision panel and a a lot worse Intel U-series processor that is not almost as highly effective or long-lasting.
Along with all that, the Dell 14 Plus comes with a superb mixture of ports, together with a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port, one USB-A (5 Gbps), an HDMI 2.1 port, and an audio jack. It is also fairly moveable at 0.67 inches thick and three.4 kilos. It is not as skinny as a MacBook Air, but it surely’s not a lot thicker than the 14-inch MacBook Professional. My solely complaints about this laptop computer are the plastic (and considerably thick) bezels across the display screen, which make it look low cost. I additionally want it had Home windows Howdy facial recognition, however the fingerprint reader constructed into the ability button works effectively.
All in all, I can not think about a greater choice for each distant employees and school college students. Belief me: do not buy one other Home windows laptop computer round this worth for Black Friday this 12 months. You may must act quick. That is Black Friday-only Doorbuster deal, which means it’s going to be gone beginning Saturday and can solely be round so long as provides final. For those who miss out on it, you’ll be able to nonetheless go for the $650 configuration, which will get you that quicker processor and twice the storage.
