The Dell Inspiron 14 7435, being more expensive, offers a 2-in-1 convertible feature, which allows it to be used as both a laptop and a tablet. If you require a device with higher performance for tasks like engineering applications or multitasking, the Dell is likely a better choice. However, if price is a major consideration and you primarily need a laptop for general use such as web browsing or office applications, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 could offer sufficient functionality at a lower cost. Keep in mind that a higher price often comes with increased capabilities, and if portability is a concern, check the weight and battery life that best suits your mobility needs. Give Feedback

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 is good for general use, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435, powered by a Ryzen 7 processor with 16GB of RAM, an IPS display, and substantial storage, offers strong performance and screen quality, making it well-suited for a range of tasks including those demanding robust multitasking. Conversely, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14", with a significantly less powerful Celeron CPU, only 4GB of RAM, and limited storage, falls short in handling more demanding applications, thereby making it less ideal for general use.

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 offers fair gaming and 3D performance with its more capable AMD Ryzen processor and integrated Vega 8 graphics, whereas the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" falls short with a less powerful Intel Celeron processor and weaker Intel UHD Graphics 600, making it poor for gaming and 3D tasks. Despite both laptops having similar screen refresh rates, the GPU strength is a very important factor, hence the Dell outperforms the Packard Bell in these aspects.

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 has a better screen than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 offers decent resolution and brightness, making it suitable for everyday tasks like browsing and document editing, but for engineering tasks and design work, its limited color coverage may not display colors as precisely as needed. Despite its shortcomings for professional work, it can still manage basic design tasks better than the Packard Bell Cloudbook, which has lower screen quality overall due to poor resolution and brightness that can strain the eyes over time. When it comes to gaming and 3D applications, the low refresh rates of both laptops would lead to less fluid motion and could detract from the immersive experience that high-paced gaming and 3D rendering often demand.

PCMag
Eric Grevstad | August 2023
"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."
