Dell 14S vs Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1

The Dell 14S is the better pick for most people: it is lighter at 3.3 lb, has a touchscreen, and 16 GB RAM with a 512 GB SSD covers everyday work and school. The Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 is the step up for heavy multitasking and creative work, with 32 GB of faster LPDDR5X memory, a 1 TB SSD, a larger 16-inch screen, Wi-Fi 7 and a 1080p camera. The 14S holds a 4.7 rating from 69 ratings, but those ratings are for the eBay listing, not a full review of the laptop. The 16 Plus is the sturdier, more future-proof machine, at the cost of about 1.2 lb more weight and a bigger footprint.

• Choose the Dell 14S if you want a light, touchscreen 14-inch laptop for everyday tasks and travel.
• Choose the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 if you need 32 GB of memory, a 1 TB drive and a bigger screen for heavy multitasking or creative work.
