Dell Inspiron 5441 Laptop - 14-inch FHD+ (1920x1200) Display, Snapdragon X Plus - X1P-42-100 Processor, 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, 512GB SSD, Qualcomm Adreno, Windows 11 Home, Onsite Service - Titan Gray

This was my first snapdragon windows laptop, and I was nervous about compatibility, and yes, a few things I usually run don't work on ARM. Knowing that is extremely important before purchasing it, what is your workload? If a lot of it is browser based this laptop is excellent.The keyboard and trackpad are both great. The screen is 1080p, and looks decent, I'm not going to deduct points because of better screens existing, I knew when buying it that it isn't some oled screen, so for what type of screen it is, it's very good. Backlight light bleed is barely visible.It actually weighs more than I expected, but not in a bad way. It's never been too heavy, it's just got a strong shell made of some sort of metal, not plastic. It FEELS premium.The battery life is something new to me, I've had many laptops, but even working on the laptop with the screen at full brightness, the battery lasts and lasts. Someone mentioned not thinking now when sitting to make sure an outlet is nearby, and I can attest to that mental shift. In real world use, real world tasks, under a decent workload? I still get 6-8+ hours on battery, and then it charges insanely fast too.I am, currently, extremely satisfied with this laptop. I've had it nearing a month and not run into any issues aside from a few programs not working on ARM yet. I want to be fair and will come back and edit this if I encounter issues, but right now? I don't have "cons" to mention. Just check compatibility with ARM for programs you use, more are getting ARM versions by the day, and sometimes alternative applications are even better? Parsec doesn't currently have an ARM version, but Moonlight does and works exactly like Parsec, just as good, even able to play games remotely using that.Full transparency, I have not attempted to game on the actual laptop. It's specs aren't super suited for gaming, but I'm sure it'll run light load games. Also, lastly, the size of it is compact and easy to carry and put in a bag, but it doesn't feel small when using it, infact the 16:10 aspect ratio makes it feel bigger when doing so!I am very happy with the laptop so far, and if I run into issues I will edit this review and update it, but currently? It doesn't have issues for me to list. I would absolutely recommend this laptop with the asterisk of your use case, since not everything works on ARM. But for what I need? This is perfect.

It's a nice inexpensive laptop. I was surprised it doesn't have a backlit keyboard, but I guess I missed that. Anyway, it did come with two issues: 1. In Settings/Privacy & security/Device security I found that Secure Boot was not enabled; 2. In Settings/Privacy & security/Device encryption, Device Encryption was not enabled. I called Dell support and one change in the BIOS fixed both. Luckily Dell Support came for a year when I purchased it. The agent emailed me the steps for solving 1. above, and I found joyfully the other was solved as well!
