This Killer Dell 14 Plus Deal Changed My Opinion of the Laptop

When I first reviewed the Dell 14 Plus (6/10, WIRED Review), my main criticism was over the price. At the time, the only configuration available had a terabyte of storage and cost $1,099. That hurt its appeal to me, especially since it would be a more attractive sub-$1,000 laptop if Dell were selling a 512-GB option. But what if that 1-TB model was significantly discounted? Well, that changes everything. The 14 Plus is just $700 right now, directly from Dell, down $400 from its retail price. It
