Why you should buy the Dell Inspiron 14

Dell is one of the best laptop brands around so while the Dell Inspiron 14 won’t compete with the best laptops, it’s a good entry point. The Dell Inspiron 14 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor along with 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. At this price, we’re just happy to see SSD storage instead of the much slower eMMC storage we’ve seen on other cheap laptops.

For the display, there’s a 14-inch full HD screen with 1920 x 1080 resolution, anti-glare properties, and also it’s LED-backlit. The Dell Inspiron 14 might lack a backlit keyboard but it does at least have a 1080p full HD webcam with dual digital microphone which is far better news than a basic 720p HD webcam.

The ARM-based nature of the Qualcomm processor means that the Dell Inspiron 14 won’t win any races but it can handle multitasking and all your basic laptop needs. It also means it stays cool and quiet so it’s far more portable than most alternatives. Its lightweight build doesn’t need fans so it’s whisper quiet. When on a call, you’ll also appreciate that the Qualcomm AI Engine can filter out distractions with features like gaze correction, sound suppression, and blurred backgrounds.

Thanks to the supremely portable nature of the Dell Inspiron 14, you also get up to 16 hours of battery life so this is a device that’s going to keep you happy all day long. Sleek and good looking, the Dell Inspiron 14 will be perfect for taking to class, a coffee shop, or using at home during downtime.

Usually costing $500, the Dell Inspiron 14 is currently part of a clearance sale at Dell so it’s down to just $280 right now. It won’t stay in stock for long when it’s this cheap so check it out as soon as possible before you miss out.

Microsoft is adding a warning for users who start replying to an older email after a newer response has arrived in the same conversation. The alert is meant to stop people from replying without seeing the latest information in the thread.

Google just changed how it grades the AI models you use for Android coding
Android Bench has a new testing framework and eight new models, so the rankings you remember are now out of date.

Google just changed how it measures which AI models are best at writing Android app code, and the update has shuffled the rankings developers use to pick their tools. The company's Android Bench leaderboard, which launched in March, now runs on a new testing system called Harbor. Google says this replaces the older, more generic testing tool it used before, and gives a better read on how models perform on real Android tasks, like updating old code to Jetpack Compose or handling wearable device networking.

New models shake up the top of the list
