88 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews

The Dell Premium 14" OLED laptop receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its stunning 3.2K 120Hz OLED display, robust performance with 32GB RAM and Intel Core Ultra 7, and premium build quality. Users praise its multitasking capabilities, responsive touchpad, and effective cooling, though some note the flat keyboard takes adjustment and the laptop can heat up under heavy loads. Battery life is decent at 6-8 hours, and the port selection is solid for a slim design.

  • Stunning 3.2K 120Hz OLED display
  • Robust performance with 32GB RAM
  • Premium build quality and design
  • Responsive haptic touchpad
