Black Friday has officially made its way onto the scene, and with it comes loads of steep discounts on laptops. One discounted laptop happens to be the best laptop PCWorld has ever tested: the illustrious Dell Inspiron 14 Plus , which is currently on sale for $799.99 (which is $200 off its original $999.99 price).

Not only did this laptop earn 4.5 stars out of 5 and our Editors’ Choice award, but it also snagged the top spot in PCWorld’s best laptops roundup . The all-around performance is impossible to ignore and the battery life is just exceptional. Let’s dive in to the details!

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus boasts an Intel Core 7 Ultra 155H processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. In terms of day-to-day performance, it’s faster than other similar 14-inch laptops, including the Acer Swift Go 14 and the pricier Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon. As for the battery life, the Inspiron 14 Plus lasted 17 hours on a single charge. According to our review , it “rivals even Apple’s best MacBooks” that are known for having excellent battery life due to their efficient processors.

The Inspiron 14 Plus has a 14-inch 2240×1400 display that deserves its own callout, too. It’s incredibly easy to see in less-than-ideal lighting conditions, and it covers nearly 100 percent of the sRGB color space. In other words, the display is colorful, vibrant, and “exceedingly well suited to office work and static imagery.” Other cool features include a Thunderbolt 4 port, a 1080p built-in webcam, and a backlit keyboard.

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is a great laptop for most people. Performance is peppy enough for work and day-to-day tasks, and the battery life is just phenomenal. We recommend swooping in ASAP because Black Friday deals like this come and go with the quickness of lightning.
