Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 7441 (Snapdragon X Plus) review

(Image credit: Future/Rami Tabari)

Research is a key part of any buying decision. Peruse some of our recent Dell laptop reviews here:

When reviewing the Dell G16 (7630), we called it a "master-class example of what a gaming laptop can do at a low cost, from its incredible performance to its gorgeous display." It really is the "greatest gaming laptop you can buy at the lowest price."

Our review of the Dell XPS 13 (9350, 2024) noted that it "gets solid performance and graphics from its Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor, along with impressive battery life, impactful speakers, and a vivid Tandem OLED display option."

We examined the Dell XPS 13 9345 laptop with the Snapdragon X Elite chip and determined that it "offers strong performance and a stellar battery life packed into an ultralight design, but that great chassis comes with sacrifices."

Reviewing the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 7441 with the Snapdragon X Plus chip, we found it "gets great performance and long battery life from the Snapdragon X Plus chipset, plus a few boons to its thermals and webcam."
