The new Dell Vostro 14 5471 comes with up to AMD Radeon R530 GDDR5 graphics and an 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor. Those interested can pre-order it only in China for now, where its starting price is roughly equal to US$830.

I don't see anything particularly wrong with the looks. Just looks like a mainstream Asus

Persnally, it fills the hole on the market for good 14" laptop, only if they used 14nm graphics solution for longer battery life. Looking forward to the review.
You haven't mentioned that this is one of the rare 14" laptops that supports dual drive configuration (HDD + M.2 SSD). Design is a matter of taste and this model doesn't look bad at all.
Indeed the design appreciation is a personal matter.
At the same time the very wide bezels around the display and very sharp square angles aren't adding beauty ;D
