The Dell Inspiron 14 7445 2-in-1 AMD 2024 sells for about 18 - 19.5 million VND at the store, depending on the version and stock. The standard configuration used as the baseline has an AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS, DDR5 5600MHz memory, a 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD, and Radeon 760M graphics. It suits anyone who wants a compact 14-inch body that slips easily into a backpack.

In short, if you often keep lots of Chrome tabs, Excel, Word, and Canva open, take classes online, and work mostly at a desk, the HP Envy x360 16-inch is more comfortable thanks to its large screen and built-in 16GB of memory. On the other hand, if you commute to school or work, hop between meeting locations, care most about light weight, and plan to upgrade the memory later, the Dell Inspiron 14 7445 is the better option to consider.

Real-World Performance of the Two Laptops

In its standard version, the HP Envy x360 uses an Intel Core Ultra 5 125U on the Meteor Lake-P architecture, with 12 cores, 14 threads, and a reference TDP of 15W. Reference benchmark scores are Cinebench R23 at 1,561 single-core and 9,799 multi-core, and Geekbench 6 at 2,150 single-core and 9,351 multi-core. That is plenty for moderate office workloads, online classes, light photo editing, and everyday multitasking.

The standard Dell uses a Ryzen 5 8640HS on the Hawk Point-HS Zen 4 architecture, with 6 cores, 12 threads, and a reference TDP of 28W. It scores 1,711 single-core and 11,486 multi-core in Cinebench R23, and 2,455 single-core and 9,729 multi-core in Geekbench 6. Looking at the processor alone, the Dell leads the Core Ultra 5 125U in both single-core and multi-core results, according to the verified benchmark data.

On graphics, the gap between versions is fairly clear. The Dell uses a Radeon 760M (RDNA 3) that scores 6,558 in Fire Strike and 2,281 in Time Spy. In Counter-Strike 2 it manages 39.4 fps at 1080p High, 26.2 fps at 1080p Ultra, and 15.7 fps at 1440p, which is enough for light eSports titles but not for demanding AAA games. If you choose the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS version of the HP Envy x360, the faster Radeon 780M scores 7,982.5 in Fire Strike and 2,810.5 in Time Spy, with 48.2 fps (1080p High), 30 fps (Ultra), 27 fps (1440p), and 11.5 fps at 4K.

Display, Battery Life, and Portability

The HP Envy x360 has a 16-inch, 1920 x 1200, 16:10 IPS display at 60Hz and 300 nits, with roughly 45% NTSC coverage. The extra space makes it easy to split the screen in two, so working in Excel, writing long documents, building slides, or taking notes during online classes feels far roomier than on a 14-inch laptop.

DELL Inspiron 14 7445 2-in-1 (AMD)

The Dell Inspiron 14 7445 has a 14-inch screen with the same 1920 x 1200 resolution, a 16:10 ratio, 60Hz, 250 nits, ComfortView mode, and also about 45% NTSC coverage. The smaller screen is less comfortable for long desk sessions, but in exchange the body is compact and weighs only about 1.71 - 1.85kg, which is ideal if you are on the move often.

On battery life, HP has a slight edge on paper: the 68Wh battery delivers about 7 - 10 hours of light office use and roughly 1.5 - 2.5 hours under heavy load, while the Dell's 54Wh battery lasts about 6 - 8 hours of light office use and 1.5 - 2 hours under heavy load. The HP's weight of about 1.88 - 2.11kg is no obstacle if it stays on a desk, but if you carry it every day, the Dell is clearly easier on the shoulder, a difference you will notice after a few weeks of use.

Memory, Storage, and Configuration Notes

The standard HP Envy x360 comes with 16GB of onboard LPDDR5 6400MHz memory. The upside is that it is ready to use and you rarely need to think about upgrades. The downside is that the memory is soldered on, so you need to pick the right capacity from the start because it cannot be expanded later.

The Dell Inspiron 14 7445 uses DDR5 5600MHz SODIMM memory. Its big advantage is that it can be upgraded, typically up to 32GB depending on the SKU and the technical documentation. One configuration note: some listings show 8GB and others show 16GB, so confirm the exact capacity for the SKU when you buy. If you end up with the 8GB single-stick (single-channel) version, the Radeon 760M iGPU may lose performance in some graphics tasks and light games; adding a second stick for dual-channel operation will improve things noticeably.

For storage, HP offers a 512GB or 1TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 drive, so if you keep a lot of study materials, photos, and videos, the 1TB version saves you from buying an external drive early on. The Dell in the catalog has a 512GB PCIe M.2 drive, enough for office work and basic schoolwork. Also, when buying the HP, confirm the exact processor: the Intel version comes with Intel Graphics, while the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS version comes with Radeon 780M. This helps you avoid applying the GPU, Wi-Fi, or port specs of one SKU to another.

Who Each Laptop Suits

Choose the HP if you value a large screen, built-in 16GB of memory, a higher-capacity battery, and want a 1TB SSD. It suits office workers, people who spend many hours in online classes, light content creators, anyone who manages lots of files, and those who like using touch for note-taking. When it sits on a desk, the 16-inch screen is far more comfortable.

Choosing the HP Envy x360 or Dell Inspiron 14 7445 based on your needs

Choose the Dell if you value a light, compact laptop that is easy to carry and plan to upgrade the memory. The Ryzen 5 8640HS posts strong processor scores for this class of configuration, and the Radeon 760M is enough for light eSports at sensible settings. It suits people who regularly move between home, the classroom, the office, and cafes.

If your budget is about the same within this segment, the decision should come down to how you actually use the laptop. If you sit in one place most of the time, choose the HP Envy x360 for the large screen, 68Wh battery, and built-in 16GB of memory; if you are on the move a lot, the Dell Inspiron 14 7445 is the better fit with its 14-inch body and SODIMM memory. From Hung Phat's experience advising customers, the people who swap laptops early usually picked the wrong size, so weigh comfort during long work sessions against portability on the go.

Buying Advice in Ho Chi Minh City

You can check the available configurations of the Dell Inspiron 14 7445 2-in-1 and the HP Envy x360 16-inch directly on the Hung Phat website. Listed prices range from 17.9 - 20.5 million VND, depending on the CPU, memory, SSD, and stock. Before deciding, ask for the exact SKU code so you do not mix up the Intel and AMD versions or the memory and SSD capacities.

Hung Phat offers advice based on real needs and does not push a high-end configuration if you only use the laptop for office work. Whether you need a machine for study, work, touch note-taking, light gaming, or daily carrying, the team will quickly narrow the options to fit your budget. For 2-in-1 laptops in particular, checking the hinge, touchscreen, battery, and actual configuration is a very worthwhile step.

If you are in Ho Chi Minh City, you can get in touch beforehand to check stock and current promotions. The general rule is to prioritize the laptop that fits your habits rather than looking only at the processor. Choosing correctly from the start saves on upgrade costs and avoids headaches over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which laptop handles heavy office work better?

Among the standard versions, the Dell Inspiron 14 7445 has the processor advantage in benchmarks: the Ryzen 5 8640HS reaches 11,486 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core, higher than the Core Ultra 5 125U at 9,799. However, the HP comes with 16GB of memory built in, so multitasking across many Chrome tabs, Excel, Word, Zoom, and Canva is smoother than on the 8GB Dell. If you choose the Dell, confirm the exact memory capacity and consider upgrading to dual-channel.

Which laptop has the battery life and thermals for all-day use?

If battery life for light office work is the priority, HP wins with its 68Wh battery, about 7 - 10 hours according to verified data, while the Dell's 54Wh battery lasts about 6 - 8 hours. The Dell is more compact and easier to carry, which suits a workday where you can recharge here and there. Under heavy load, both drain quickly, so you should still bring the charger if you work for long stretches.

Where should I spend the price difference between the two laptops?

Both fall in the range of roughly 18 - 20 million VND at Hung Phat, and the exact gap depends on the SKU and stock. If you choose the HP, consider the 1TB SSD; if you choose the Dell, upgrade the memory first, since the 8GB version can limit multitasking and hurt Radeon 760M performance.

Which laptop should students and working professionals choose?

If you take online classes, write documents, work with spreadsheets, and sit at a desk a lot, choose the HP Envy x360 16-inch. If you go to school or work every day, need a light, compact laptop, and want to upgrade the memory later, the Dell Inspiron 14 7445 is the more sensible choice.
