The Inspiron 14z does a really good job of cramming a fully featured laptop into a compact, lightweight design. It's no gaming rig, but its good performance and battery life make it an attractive option for anyone on a tight budget.Tags:Business,LaptopsBe...

For 900 Euro (~$1125), the Dell Inspiron 14z Ultrabook offers a power-efficient CPU and a middle-class GPU. The resulting combination is well-equipped for multimedia use and office programs load quickly and run fluidly thanks to the installed SSD.While th...
Abstract: The ultrabook was conceived as an ultralight, ultraportable notebook with SSD storage rather than a hard drive. There are plenty of ultrabooks that fit this bill, but Dell's Inspiron 14z Ultrabook definitely stretches the definition to the limit.The Inspi...

The Dell Inspiron 14z Ultrabook is actually a thin, light, general-purpose laptop with Ultrabook aspirations and an optical drive. Thanks to its Ivy Bridge processor, discrete graphics card, and 8GB of RAM, the Inspiron 14z delivers respectable perfor...

More configurable than most ultrabooks, Discrete graphics, Built-in optical drive
Thick and heavy for an ultrabook, Mediocre battery life, Port selection could be better for a laptop this size
Dell's redesigned Inspiron 14z is thinner than its predecessor, and it packs a new Intel "Ivy Bridge" processor in our $899 test configuration. But it's thicker and heavier than most other laptops that claim the ultrabook name. Read More...
Ability to upgrade to SSD, Core i7, discrete graphics. Great value for what's included
Battery life could get worrying with more powerful components. Annoying flaps on some ports. Design makes it seem like a toy. 100Mbit Ethernet? How do these chips still exist
Just like the 13z, for the price involved, the 14z does well. The main sticking point is the battery life, which has been outgunned by competitors....
