Dell’s new student laptop weighs just 2.5 pounds and claims 21 hours of battery life
Dell has announced a thin and lightweight 14-inch laptop built for students, with up to 21 hours of battery life, a 2.8K 120Hz display option, and four colorful finishes, but its price remains unknown.
Dell has unveiled the Dell 14S, a new 14-inch student laptop designed to compete with Apple's MacBook Neo. The aluminum chassis laptop comes in four colors and boasts a claimed battery life of up to 21 hours, enough to stream Netflix continuously without recharging. Dell describes the 14S as an affordable alternative to the MacBook Neo for students and everyday use.
However, Dell has not announced a price for the laptop, which will be available in North America this fall. The laptop weighs 2.5 pounds and is 13.5mm thick, close to the MacBook Neo's dimensions. Available display options include a 2.8K panel with a 120Hz refresh rate or a 2K 60Hz display. Powered by Intel Core 5 and Core 7 Series processors, the 14S can handle up to 21 hours of streaming on a charge, according to Dell's testing.
Connectivity options include two USB-C ports with power delivery, HDMI, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi 6E, Windows Hello, an FHD webcam, stereo speakers, and dual-array microphones. While the 14S offers several features suitable for a student laptop, its success will depend on its price, which has yet to be revealed.
