Midrange Dell XPS 14 355: Solid redesign, lighter on graphics than the top option
Dell’s XPS 14 Core Ultra 7 355 offers a refined, well‑built chassis, improved design and solid battery life with a sharp 1200p IPS display, but its 4‑core Xe3 iGPU is noticeably slower and less efficient than the flagship X7 358H. It’s a strong midrange choice for everyday tasks and multimedia at about $1,700, but creators and gamers should consider the higher‑end X7 for better graphics performance, and you’ll miss a MicroSD reader and camera shutter (with some fan noise reported).
