Today, Dell from the United States launched the new Dell Inspiron 14 laptop with Windows 11. It is the company's first device with a processor with ARM architecture, which is commonly used in smartphone processors.
The new device is powered by a second-generation Snapdragon processor, paired with an Adreno 690 graphics card, paired with 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and comes with a 256GB SSD storage that can be expanded via a port, supporting microSD memory cards. The processor is equipped with a Qualcomm AI Engine chip that improves sound and image in video chats, according to the company.
The device screen has dimensions of 14 inches and a resolution of Full HD type LED with anti-reflective coating and a front camera with a resolution of 1080p with two microphones for making video calls.
The Inspiron 14 is powered by a 40Wh battery, which the company claims will last for 16 hours of uninterrupted HD video playback before needing a charge. Thanks to the fanless Snapdragon chip, the device runs quiet and cool.
In terms of connectivity standards, the Inspiron 14 not only supports Bluetooth 5.2, but also the modern Wi-Fi 6 standard, which comes with two USB Type-C ports, one USB Type-A port, and a 3.5-bit headphone jack.
The Inspiron 14 is approximately 19mm thick, 323mm wide, weighs 1.44kg, and is available in monochrome and silver. A notable feature of the device is its relatively low price of just $499.99, and it is considered one of the cheapest devices offered by Dell, which makes it attractive to those looking for mid-range specs. Food is cheap.
This is the first time that Dell has launched a computer with an ARM architecture processor. This architecture is simpler and less powerful than Intel and AMD processors, but it is cheaper and more energy efficient, which makes it suitable for phones and tablets. With the improvement in performance and processing speed of ARM-based chips, many companies have begun to use them in mid-range laptops. Although these computers are not as powerful as those with Intel and AMD processors, they are still a viable option for users looking for an affordable computer that does not require high processing power.
