Prop open the Dell Vostro 14 3446 business laptop to reveal its grey colour tone. Granted, it's dull compared to snazzier, more attractive looking consumer laptops, but this is in line with other business laptops. The matte screen is nice for it doesn't reflect light or act as a mirror, and the keyboard and touchpad are good to use overall.

One good thing about the Dell Vostro 14 3446's back panel is it's well thought out for servicing parts inside it. So if you have to quickly replace its RAM or Wi-Fi module, you just have to remove the compartmentalized bottom cover, instead of the whole back panel. There are plenty of vents there for heat to escape and not get trapped, too.
