Dell Dell - Plus - Copilot+ PC - 14" 2K 2-in-1 Review

The Dell Plus is a weird little laptop. It's got a discrete GPU and a full 1TB of storage for under $750, which is its main selling point. But you're getting a screen that's just okay, a CPU that's decent but not great, and a design that feels a bit dated. The one thing to know? It's a budget workstation that's trying to punch above its weight, but it's not a well-rounded machine.

The AMD Radeon 860 discrete GPU is the star here, landing in the 55th percentile. That means it's fine for older games or light creative work, but don't expect to run the latest titles on high settings. The 68th percentile CPU is a pleasant surprise for the price, handling everyday multitasking without breaking a sweat. The real letdown is the screen, sitting in the bottom 35th percentile. It's a basic FHD+ panel that looks dull next to the competition.

At $725, the value proposition is simple. You're trading screen quality, build, and portability for raw storage and a discrete GPU. If you need a ton of local space and a bit of graphics power on a tight budget, it's worth it. If you care at all about screen quality or using this thing on the go, it's not.

The ASUS Zenbook Duo is a much better all-around 14-inch laptop with a far superior screen and build, but it costs more. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i absolutely destroys it for gaming and performance, but it's a much larger, more expensive machine. The Dell Plus sits in a strange middle ground: it's not as polished as a premium ultrabook, and it's not as powerful as a true gaming laptop. It's a niche pick.

I can only recommend the Dell Plus to a very specific buyer. If your top priorities are 'lots of storage' and 'a discrete GPU' and your budget is locked at $750, go for it. For literally anyone else—students, general users, gamers, professionals—there are better options that don't force you to compromise so hard on the screen and overall build quality. It's a budget box-checker, not a great laptop.
