Dell Inspiron 14R-5437 review: It's no barn burner, but it runs a good long while |
December 23, 2013
If you haven't considered a Dell laptop for your next purchase, the Inspiron 14R is a compelling reason to do so. Its calmly handsome looks, top-notch fit-and-finish, and first-rate input ergonomics make it an appealing all-purpose laptop.
The performance of our $649 Core i3 test configuration was so-so in its numbers, but subjectively it felt decently responsive, and it has a Core i5 option if you need the boost.
Looks and ergonomics
The 14R-5437 that Dell sent us was styled in slate gray and matte silver, but less dour colors such as blue and red are also available. The high gloss of the 14-inch, 1366 by 768 touchscreen sets off the otherwise all-matte finish nicely. The corners of the 14R are more severely rounded than those of most laptops, which gives the unit a slightly old-school vibe. It also helps the unit slide easily into bags and is generally less likely to snag or injure.
