Chassis, connections, screen of this Dell 14 DC14250

Its compact, thin and light Platinum Silver design gives this laptop, which can be recharged by around 80% in 60 minutes, a rather sober and elegant appearance.

This laptop offers good connectivity that is more comprehensive than average with its SD card reader, its HDMI video output useful for easily connecting it to a monitor or projector for example, its audio port, its Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless modules for remote connections and communications but also its 3 USBs including 1 fast USB-C with which you can connect peripherals such as a mouse, a headset, a printer or even external storage.

This Ultrabook also benefits from 2 particularly valuable features given its positioning.
The first is a fingerprint reader through which you can authenticate biometrically, in particular via Windows Hello.

The second is the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard: simply activate it in the dark to better distinguish the keys.

The Full HD screen is equipped with IPS technology providing significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles.
If we are not dealing with high-end IPS here logically given the positioning of the PC which implies average colorimetry, some will undoubtedly appreciate the 16/10th format of the screen. Because it displays more elements in height than the standard 16/9.
Thanks to its anti-reflective coating, the screen is also more readable in a bright environment (e.g. near a window) than a shiny panel.

Performance, autonomy of this Dell 14 DC14250

This Dell 14 DC14250 is a compact laptop PC designed for everyday nomadic use.

Its autonomy, which is around 8 hours of battery operation in light use, will interest more than one nomad like some looking for a student laptop. Because it is also easy to transport since it is compact, thin and light.

In addition, this Ultrabook delivers good performance in everyday use such as office use, surfing the Internet to watch photos and HD videos (streaming included) and even playing light games.
Small multimedia processing operations using multi-cores and RAM can also be considered occasionally (e.g. very modest photo editing or video conversion).

All tasks benefit from the great fluidity and responsiveness provided by the SSD. Because in addition to being energy efficient and quiet, it is very fast.
Also include starts/stops, software launches or even arrivals on online game cards.

The SSD actually accompanies a low-consumption Intel Core 5 120U processor Raptor Lake Refresh which integrates 10 hybrid cores as well as the Iris Xe graphics module, but also 16 GB of RAM which is very useful for multitasking.

Capacity-wise, you can install a lot of applications and files on the 512 GB provided by the SSD. A capacity that is certainly standard but which is also found in – clearly – more expensive configurations.

Of course, in case you need more space, the simplest solution is to connect an external storage unit. We will then favor the connection of a USB 3.2 Type-C (Gen2) device or at least USB 3.0 rather than USB 2.0 if we wish to maximize the speed of transfers.
