Dell Inspiron 14" 2024, Ryzen 7, 16GB, 1TB SSD, Black

The Ryzen AI 7 350 is the headline here, landing at the 71st percentile for CPUs and making this a snappy everyday machine. But the gaming score of 17.1 out of 100 is rough, and the port selection at the 39th percentile is thin. It's a solid student 2-in-1 with a 1TB SSD, just don't expect it to game.

The Ryzen AI 7 350 is an 8-core chip running at 2.3GHz, and it's the star here. At the 71st percentile for CPUs, it's well above average for thin laptops. Dell's marketing claims up to 50 TOPS of AI performance, which puts it ahead of an i7-12700H in that specific workload. For everyday multitasking, document editing, and browser tab hoarding, this chip won't break a sweat. The 16GB of DDR5 is exactly average for this class at the 50th percentile, but paired with the fast CPU it feels responsive.

The Radeon 840M integrated graphics sit at the 64th percentile for GPUs. That's middle of the pack, which is actually decent for integrated graphics. You'll handle light photo editing and older titles at low settings, but the 17.1 gaming score is a blunt reminder that this isn't built for frame rates. The 1TB SSD lands at the 65th percentile, which is a nice amount of storage for a laptop in this range. Boot times and app launches will be snappy.

Stacked against the HP OmniBook X Flip 14, the Inspiron's Ryzen AI 7 350 trades blows on CPU performance but likely falls behind on build quality and screen. The Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 is a different beast entirely, aimed at workstation users who need discrete graphics and more ports. The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 and MSI Raider are gaming-focused machines that absolutely demolish the Inspiron's 17.1 gaming score, but they're also heavier and pricier. And the Apple MacBook Pro M5 Max? That's in another universe for performance and price. The Inspiron's lane is clear: a mid-range 2-in-1 for students and office workers who don't need a GPU.

The single listing we found is priced at 24,750 MXN in Mexico. That's the only data point we have, so we can't compare across retailers or regions. At the 58th percentile for affordability, this Inspiron is neither a bargain nor a rip-off. You're paying for the Ryzen AI 7 350 and the 2-in-1 form factor. The 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD are reasonable at this price, but the weak port selection and middling screen mean you're not getting a premium experience. If you can find it on sale, the value story improves quickly.

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 2-in-1 lands with a Ryzen AI 7 350, 16GB of DDR5, and a 1TB SSD. That CPU sits at the 71st percentile in our database, which is solid for a thin convertible. The 64Wh battery and 1.59kg weight make it a reasonable carry for campus or coffee shop work. But the integrated Radeon 840M graphics tell you exactly who this is for, and who it isn't.

Our scoring puts student use at 67.6 out of 100, compact at 63, and business at 58.2. Gaming? 17.1. That's not a typo. This is a productivity and note-taking machine with a touchscreen and backlit keyboard, not a weekend gaming rig. The 1920x1200 display is fine, but it only lands at the 47th percentile for screens in this category. You're getting a capable mid-range 2-in-1, not a display showcase.

If you want to play games, skip this. The 17.1 gaming score is one of the worst we've seen in this category, and the integrated Radeon 840M won't save you. Also skip it if you need lots of ports. The 39th percentile port selection means one USB-A and an HDMI 1.4 that can't do 4K at 60Hz. And if reliability is a top concern, the 33rd percentile score is a yellow flag. This is a machine for light productivity and note-taking, not a desktop replacement.

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 2-in-1 is a competent convertible with a genuinely strong CPU and a generous 1TB SSD. The 67.6 student score reflects what it does well: note-taking, research, writing, and light creative work. But the 17.1 gaming score and 39th percentile port selection are real compromises. If you need a touchscreen laptop for school or office work and don't care about gaming, this is a solid pick. If you want to play anything more demanding than indie titles, look elsewhere.
