This Dell 14 is mainly a compact Windows laptop valued for its 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD, with the Core 7 150U seen as fine for normal office, school, and everyday use. The memory and storage stand out at this price, and the chip is described as similar to an i7 1355U and not weak, just a 15 watt U series part. The main concern is that the processor may feel limiting for video editing, heavy math, or other demanding work, and the 32GB configuration may not stay at the listed price. It is a practical fit if you want lots of memory in a thin and light machine.
Buyers prioritizing multitasking headroom over raw CPU speed, because 32GB RAM is hard to find at this price and the processor is still adequate for casual use.
College students doing normal coursework, because the 150U is sufficient for everyday use and 32GB RAM plus 1TB storage handle a broad school workload.
Shoppers expecting a strong processor-first machine, because the CPU is repeatedly described as below average or not great compared with the generous memory.
Students in video editing or heavy computer science work, because the 150U is better suited to casual use and a stronger CPU is recommended for those workloads.
Readers who need larger text for weak eyesight, because a bigger screen alone does not make text easier to read without the right resolution and scaling.
It can be a better fit if you need Windows compatibility, a larger screen, and more RAM/storage for school software. The key decision is whether your classes and future work require Windows apps, since software is not universal between Mac and Windows.
Yes. The Core 7 150U is described as a 15W U-series chip similar to an i7-1355U, and it should be fine for everyday browsing, Office work, and general college use. It is less suitable for video editing, heavy CS work, or demanding math/modeling tasks.
For basic use, 32GB can be more than needed, but it is valuable if you want a machine that stays useful longer or handle heavier multitasking. The main appeal of this deal is getting 32GB DDR5 and a 1TB SSD at a price that is hard to find in a non-refurbished laptop.
The listed price can drop further with cashback and card offers. One buyer reported an extra 10% cashback site offer, and another used two Amex Business Platinum cards to get $300 back in credits, cutting the effective cost sharply.
Yes. The price without the student discount is $649, and it is still considered a good deal at that level. The student price is $584.99, but the deal remains attractive even without it.
I've been looking for months and this is the cheapest I've seen 32gb ram that's not refurbished or used?
Just like the other commenter though I'm worried about the chip. Will this last me at least 5 years? Still on a MacBook with 4gb ram that I'm ready to retire!
Is this better than a Macbook Neo for a student who needs to use it for 2 years of electrical school?
You have to consider the operating system (Windows vs Mac) first. Software isn't universal between both.
Also, it's a good idea to consider what happens after the 2 years of education... will this still be useful then? What software requirements are needed for the education as well as what's used in the industry?
That's how you should consider this.
