Portability meets power:

The thin Inspiron 14 5000 Series features up to 5th Gen Intel® Core™ processor so your games, apps and web pages load quickly. And with up to 1TB2 of storage, there’s plenty of room to take your media and files wherever you go.
It’s not necessarily the thinnest or lightest 14-inch laptop, but you shouldn’t have trouble slipping it into a shoulder bag or backpack. The whole thing measures 0.9-inch thick (22mm) with a width and depth of 13.5 by 9.7 inches (342x246mm) and weighs in at 4.8 pounds (2.2kg).
Dell Inspiron 14 5000 Series Laptop Review? The laptop’s 14-inch touchscreen has a 1,366×768-pixel resolution, something that’s still pretty common on midrange models. It’s fine, all things considered, but it doesn’t get very bright so working outside in bright daylight might prove problematic and color and contrast aren’t great either.

Brilliant Display:

Video chat on the fly, watch a movie while you’re waiting for class on the brilliant screen– it all looks better on the vivid 35.5cm (14) HD screen. Brilliant HD makes every pixel count, so presentations pop and photos, videos and games come alive with sharp detail and clarity.

Backlit Keyboard:

Dell Inspiron 14 5000 Series Laptop Review? The 14 5000’s keyboard is spill-resistant and backlit, and those are standard features even on the $550 entry configuration. There is a fair amount of flex in the keyboard deck, so if that’s something that really bothers you, you may want to hit up a Best Buy to type on it for a bit.

Complete Daily Tasks With Ease:

With the $700 Core i5 configuration, you can expect to get through daily tasks and entertainment with relative ease. It can handle multitasking like streaming music or video in the background while you do basic photo editing or Web surfing without feeling sluggish or like you’re waiting an eternity for something to happen.

Wonderful Audio Quality:

Whether you’re mixing, streaming or chatting, Waves MaxxAudio® delivers lower lows, higher highs and outstanding audio performance.

HD touch delivers crisp, brilliant images and greater immersion in your games, photos and everyday tasks.

Dell Laptop Reviews? Your every tap, swipe and scroll is more responsive and accurate with a 10-finger capacitive touch screen. Capacitive touch seems more natural and fluid than optical touch because capacitive sensors are right under the screen, compared to optical touch which uses cameras in the bezel of the laptop. Have more fun with Windows 8.1, swipe through your photo album faster and unleash your creativity with capacitive touch.

Easy productivity


Zoom, point and scroll through content quickly with the large touchpad. Keep going — even in the dark — when you upgrade to a backlit keyboard for better typing accuracy in low light.

Improved Wireless technology

Dell Laptop Reviews? Improved wireless performance over previous models delivers a stronger WiFi connection. The newest 802.11ac technology option connects at blazingly fast WiFi speeds across an extended range, so you can roam free and still enjoy an impressive wireless experience.

Really tuff:

Dell tests Inspiron laptop hinges to ensure they still feel tight, even after opening and closing the lid 20,000 times.

Graphics: 

For demanding PC games you can get playable frame rates at reduced settings at native resolution. There is no option for discrete graphics with the 14 5000 or any of the other 5000 series models.
