PCWorld: Review – Dell Inspiron 14 (1464) Laptp

Despite its 2.13GHz Intel Core i3-330M processor and 4GB of RAM, the Inspiron 14 “never shines,” the reviewer says, though it “will be sufficient for many.”


“The chips inside the Dell Inspiron 14 (1464) should push this average laptop beyond midrange quality. A 2.13GHz Intel Core i3-330M processor and 4GB of RAM should power any typical home or office workload. A decent, 14-inch display gives room to edit side-by-side documents or to watch videos. Why, then, does the Inspiron 14 end up feeling more low-end in actual use?

Without a dedicated video processor, games and high-performance applications stumble. The 3-hour, 20-minute battery falls short of mobile demands. And the ho-hum, faux-metal case feels a little cheap. Nearly every aspect of this model feels adequate without being impressive.”
