One of the key strengths of a Dell Plus laptop is its ability to boost creative tasks with AI, enabling them to be done faster and with greater ease. Indeed, the AI powers of these notebooks are such that even creative novices can accomplish seriously impressive feats, such as composing a striking image from scratch.

A Copilot+ PC like the Dell 14 Plus Laptop is a compact powerhouse of a notebook designed to breeze through creative tasks. It's also seriously affordable.

Of course there are many other good reasons to choose Dell for your AI PC. That includes strong customer support and warranty coverage, along with the build quality of its laptops, which are slim and portable, yet durable.

For those tempted to get their hands on a Dell Plus laptop, let's take a look at how one of these Copilot+ PCs can make your creative life so much easier. Here are five ways these notebooks can supercharge your creativity.

1. It's easy to create high-quality images with Cocreator AI in Paint

A Copilot+ PC such as Dell's 14 Plus Laptop enables you to use Microsoft's Paint app in Windows 11 to swiftly create any image you want – regardless of your artistic ability – and fine-tune the composition to your exact needs.

You can do this with the Cocreator AI feature in Paint, and getting started is as simple as typing in what image you want to concoct – say, a vampire battling a werewolf under a bright moon. You can then very roughly start to sketch out those elements on the main canvas in Paint – the characters and the full moon above – and Cocreator will fill them in with fleshed-out details in a panel to the right, showing you the finished, fully realized image.

It's possible to modify the process by using a 'creativity' slider which, when ramped up, gives AI more control over the final image, with potentially more radical changes therein. You may, or may not, like the result, but it's easy to just move the slider up and down to experiment, and you can apply different art styles to the image, too (such as oil painting, or anime).

All this happens quickly and responsively on the Dell laptop thanks to the powerful NPU in the processor. Cocreator is one of those AI features that you must see in action to believe it, and it's one of the biggest creative boosts a Copilot+ PC provides.

2. It's also a snap to pep up your pics in the Photos app

Another major creative benefit of a Dell Plus laptop is the ability to perform an AI makeover on your photos using the Restyle Image feature.

This is part of the suite of AI tricks offered by the Photos app in Windows 11. Simply choose Restyle Image and you can pick from a predefined style such as impressionist, or cyberpunk and apply that to the photo you're editing. Or you can plump for a style of your own: simply type in a description of what you want, and the AI will implement it.

As with Cocreator in Paint, there's a slider which can be used to adjust the intensity of the effect which Restyle Image applies to your photo, so you can tone it down or ramp it up as you choose. This gives you a lot of creative flexibility to quickly edit your pics, as all this happens swiftly on the device, again thanks to the beefy NPUs in the Intel Core processors that Dell uses in its AI laptops.

It's also possible to use AI to generate new pics from scratch using the Image Creator feature in Photos.

3. Save your washed-out old photos with Super Resolution

The AI-powered creativity in Microsoft's Photos software doesn't stop there – the app also boasts Super Resolution AI functionality which can rescue old photos on your Dell Plus laptop that might be faded or generally poor quality, or enhance low-resolution snaps.

With old photos that don't look so great, Super Resolution will use AI intelligently to fill in any missing details, sharpening up the image in a realistic manner. And for photos that are very low resolution, this feature can upscale the resolution by up to 8x. The clever bit is that instead of the image looking like a blocky mess, Super Resolution fills in the necessary details to make the upscaled results look sharp and clean – and that's especially true on the crisp, high-quality displays that Dell equips its notebooks with.

Super Resolution is a really nifty quick save for photos that might be otherwise unusable or not pleasant to look at.

4. A mini production studio for your video chats and recordings

Video chats and recordings can be taken to the next level with the Windows Studio Effects suite that's another string to the AI bow of Dell's Copilot+ laptops, facilitating all sorts of powerful, automatic tweaking.

Want to look like you're always making eye contact with the camera, when you're actually looking at the laptop's screen? You got it: Windows Studio Effects cleverly makes you appear to maintain eye contact when you're not – even if you're scanning your eyes all over the screen reading content when, say, you're giving a presentation.

Windows Studio Effects also facilitates automatic framing of the person in the camera's shot, lighting adjustments on-the-fly, and background blur if needed. AI can make your video chats or recordings look so much better, and with no extra effort on your part.

5. Finding everything you need to create – fast

Copilot+ devices such as Dell Plus laptops supercharge Windows 11's search powers by enabling you to use natural language queries to more easily find any files you need via the Copilot app.

Nobody wants to waste time searching for content when they’re in the middle of a creative project, but natural language search speeds up the process of locating anything from photos to video clips to PDFs and documents. All you need to do with a Dell Plus laptop is type in a search to "find photos of my cat in the back garden" and Copilot will do exactly that. That’s far easier than trying to remember file names.

If you want to go even further, Windows Recall is a screenshot-powered and even more in-depth way for AI to search your Copilot+ PC, using plain speaking instructions.
