The computing unit packs quite a punch with its processor that has 4MB Cache and 3.9 GHz of speed. With the Intel UHD Graphics 620 and shared graphics memory, it provides ample multimedia capabilities in its small size.

Dell tries to go above and beyond with cinematic color, sound, and stream in most of its machines, and it shows in this particular laptop.
Users have noted that the laptop meets their performance and storage needs easily. Since the laptop packs an 8th Generation Intel Core i3-8145U processor in addition to its 4GB DDR4 memory, it has plenty of power to carry out multimedia tasks on the go.

Many users mention that browsing and bringing in more applications from the Microsoft store is simple.

But they also state that those problems usually get resolved after some time. A few users also lament the fact that the Inspiron 14 does not come with a bundled DVD player/burner for their different activities. They also note that it doesn’t have an RJ45 port to facilitate direct Ethernet connections to a router.
