Dell XPS 14 9440 Review

Dell XPS 14 9440 with Core Ultra 7 155H, an entry RTX 4050 GPU and 32GB soldered LPDDR5X on a 3200x2000 touch display.

The XPS 14 adds light discrete graphics to Dell's flagship ultraportable line, on the same zero-port, soldered-memory design language as the XPS 13.

Overview

XPS 14 sits between the 13 and 16, adding an optional RTX 4050 for light creative workloads while keeping Dell's capacitive-touch function row and soldered memory.

Expert rating8 / 10

The XPS 14 9440 combines a Core Ultra 7 155H with an RTX 40 series GPU carrying 6GB of VRAM, plus 32GB of LPDDR5X and a 1TB drive. The 14.5-inch 3200 x 2000 IPS panel and 69.5Wh battery sit in a 1.65 kg body, a good fit for light creative work on the go.

The 32GB is soldered and the storage slot is full. The 6GB GPU is not meant for heavy gaming, and the screen is 60Hz.
