dell inspiron 14 plus
Hi Guys,
On different websites and YouTube channels, I saw that the "Dell Inspiron 14 Plus with Nvidia Graphic" has a temperature and fan noise problem. I just wanted to know: is that (mostly temperature) going to be a problem in long-term uses (like 8 hours a day for 4 to 5 years)?
I just wanted to tell you that I'm just choosing this laptop because of its RTX 3050 graphics while having 14-inch display. I couldn't find any other 14-inch laptop with the same graphics and price.
I would appreciate your time and help.

Any 14" notebook as slim as this one with discrete graphics involves serious compromise -- they will run hot (meaning you won't get the full performance out of the GPU; they throttle), and heat being the primary cause of notebook aging, I would not count on getting more than three years our of the system without component failure. However, since all notebooks are designed for a 3-year lifespan these days, you'll find just about the same with anything you buy.
If you need 4-5 years of trouble-free use out of a system, you can easily find it in a desktop system -- in any notebook or all in one system, you just cannot expect that lifespan out of a system.

@ejn63 thank you so much,
Since I'm a student, it's kind of better for me to buy a 14-inch laptop. So, do you think buying a 14-inch laptop without a temperature issue will make it last longer, like 5 years? I mean laptops with Iris Xe graphics! (on the other hand, I'm not sure if these graphics are reliable due to the fact that they are new and not tested for long time!)

No notebook design has much of a history on which to base reliability - models run about 6-12 months before they're replaced.
If you're looking for better odds of a system that will last 4-5 years, look into the Latitude line. The differences between them and the Inspiron models are smaller than they once were, but the design of business-class systems is more robust, with better materials and more advanced engineering, than are low-end consumer models like the Inspiron series. The other major manufacturers' lineups are the same -- Think Pads are better than IdeaPads, HP Envy systems are better than Pavilion systems, etc.
