All three configurations will feature a 1080p webcam supporting Windows Hello, and USB4 Type C with DisplayPort 2.1 and Power Delivery. The OLED version will be slightly thinner than the IPS versions (0.58 inches compared to 0.60 inches), but all three will weigh 1.1 kg.

This laptop will support up to 32 GB of RAM, up to 1 TB M.2 2230 SSD storage and numerous ports: two USB4 Type C, one USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, microSD, audio jack, Windows Hello webcam, plus an additional fingerprint reader and an extra tray for uSIM cards for 5G connectivity. There will be only one display option: a 14-inch touch IPS, 2650 x 1600. Both Latitude configurations will weigh 1.4 kg and have a thickness of 0.67 inches.

Finally, Dell Inspiron 14 Plus (7441) will only come with a 10-core Snapdragon X Plus processor, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB/1 TB M.2 SSD, and one display: a 14-inch, 2560 x 1600, non-touch IPS with a Windows Hello 1080p webcam.
