The Dell 14 Plus Laptop with Core Ultra 7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD is on sale for $699.99, which is $520 off the regular price. For what you are getting, that is a strong deal for a thin 14-inch laptop with a modern Intel Core Ultra 7 256V chip and Intel Arc graphics. This chip is built for heavy multitasking, streaming, and everyday work, and the built-in NPU is made to handle AI features and Copilot tools in Windows 11 Home. If you like to keep a lot of browser tabs open, jump between Office apps, and stream video at the same time, this setup will feel fast and stay that way for a while. With 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, you will not have to worry about Chrome or big apps slowing things down. The 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD gives you a lot of fast storage for games, big files, and media without having to plug in an external drive right away.
The 14-inch 2.5K IPS screen is one of the better parts of this system. You get a sharp picture that is great for work and media, with wide viewing angles and a non-glare finish that cuts down on reflections. ComfortView Plus is helpful if you stare at the screen for long stretches, since it reduces blue light without making colors look strange. At about 3.4 pounds and under 0.7 inches thick, the laptop is light enough to toss in a bag for school, work, or travel. The Ice Blue aluminum lid and base give it a cleaner and more solid feel than cheaper plastic-only laptops, but you still get a palm rest and bezel that keep the weight down. The backlit keyboard with a Copilot key makes it easier to see the keys in low light, and you can jump into AI and search tools with one press if you actually use those features.
For ports, you are getting more than a lot of thin 14-inch models offer at this price. You have a standard USB 3.2 Gen 1 port for older gear, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort 1.4 and power delivery, a Thunderbolt 4 port with DisplayPort 2.1 and power delivery, plus HDMI 2.1 and a combo audio jack. That means you can run multiple external monitors, plug into newer docks, charge over USB-C, and still have room for a mouse or flash drive. Wi-Fi 7 support and Bluetooth give you fast wireless for years to come, so you are not stuck on older standards. The 1080p Full HD webcam with dual-array mics is decent for video calls and online classes, and the dual speakers with Waves MaxxAudio Pro and Dolby Atmos Cores are fine for streaming and casual use, especially in a small room or office.
You also get some extras that are nice out of the box. There is a 4-cell 64Wh battery paired with a 65W USB-C charger, which should handle a full day of light to moderate use if you are not running heavy apps nonstop. The fingerprint reader built into the Ice Blue power button makes it quicker to sign in compared to typing in a password every time. Dell includes a year of basic onsite hardware support after remote diagnosis, so if something goes wrong with the hardware, you are not totally on your own. You can test drive Microsoft 365 and McAfee+ Premium with the included 30-day trials, then decide if you want to keep them or remove them. If you have been waiting for a mid-range Windows laptop that is thin, has a sharp screen, strong specs, and a good amount of storage without going over $700, this sale on the Dell 14 Plus Laptop with Core Ultra 7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD is the kind of offer you only see when a system is heavily marked down.
