I've looked through Dell UK's early Black Friday sale — this deal on the 'surprisingly great' Dell 14 Plus is my favourite by far
One of our favourite mid-range laptops of the past few years
Early Black Friday sales are kicking off at the official Dell UK Store this week, with a number of compelling price cuts on the brand's latest laptops. I've seen everything from standard budget laptops to high-end XPS 13 machines on sale, but there's one listing that's particularly caught my eye.
It's the Dell 14 Plus for £899 (was £1,098), which is a fantastic deal for one of our favourite Windows 11 laptops of the past few years. If you do have a bit of cash to spend, then this machine offers a great balance of price, power, and attractive design.
Laptop prices have taken a real hit in the past year or so, so this Dell 14 Plus stands out to me as a decent laptop that won't cost you an arm and a leg.
In terms of components, it features an Intel Core Ultra 7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, so it's a good option for a wide range of tasks - even relatively demanding applications.
My favourite early Black Friday deal at Dell today
Processor: Intel Ultra 7
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB SSD
The Dell 14 Plus is one of our favorite Windows 11 laptops from the past few years, and a great choice if you just want a solid machine with plenty of power. It does lack the pizazz of the XPS line, but the 14 Plus is still a nicely built laptop with an attractive design, plenty of ports, and a powerful Intel Ultra 7 chipset in this case. The best deal on this model at Dell today is for the entry-level 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD variant, which still provides plenty of performance right out of the box.

A great choice for every day computing
The Dell 14 Plus is one of the brand's mid-range models, but it's a laptop that delivers a lot more than the sum of its parts. With a well-thought-out design, comfortable keyboard, capable performance, and a generous selection of ports, it's a rounded package that prioritises practicality over unnecessary frills.
With laptop prices continuing to creep up due to rising component costs, the Dell 14 Plus looks like a good option now that it's a little older. Even with newer models appearing in the Dell range, I'd still go for the 14 Plus if you want a powerful and lightweight machine. With the Ultra 7, you've got more than enough power for everyday productivity, professional workloads, studying, and general multitasking. Its 120Hz display is another welcome addition, as is the extensive port selection.
