  • Abstract:  When we reviewed the XPS 15z early last month, we found a laptop that got a lot of things right, so the hardly-secret follow-up XPS 14z certainly garnered a spot on our radar. Dell agreed to send us a pre-release unit for the official launch, and we...

  • Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia switchable graphics, Thin design with aluminum and magnesium construction, Exquisite backlit keyboard, Big 750GB hard drive,
  • Battery life is a bit short,
  • The Dell XPS 14z gives even top competitors a run for their money, with an Intel Core i7 processor, switchable Nvidia graphics, spacious 750GB hard drive, and best-in-class keyboard, all wrapped up in a head turning compact design. ...

  • The high-end Dell XPS 14z is an attractive, powerful 14-inch laptop built into a 13-inch body, with plenty of configuration options, including decent graphics
  • Even with the approximate footprint of a 13-inch laptop, this still feels thick and heavy, especially compared with the new generation of Ultrabooks
  • The Dell XPS 14z is a nicely designed, well-built 14-inch laptop, but the XPS "z" design works better on the 15-inch version, leaving this model feeling chunky.

  • Thin, light, durable chassis, Gorgeous design, Strong performance, USB 3.0, Comfortable keyboard, Wireless Display support
  • Weak audio, Only two USB ports, both on the back, Subpar battery life
  • The thinnest 14-inch notebook ever, the XPS 14z offers up strong performance and a gorgeous design. Mobile professionals who demand a stylish, powerful PC should shortlist this one. ...

  • Abstract:  The XPS 14z (starting at $1000) is relatively thin at 0.9", it is no ultrabook though and the 4.36 pound weight is something to consider. You do get a completely updated design, second generation Intel Core processors with all the ports and drives anyone ...

  • The XPS series from Dell has had a long history of delivering good performance at mass market prices and the 14z continues this tradition. Even though it has been parachuted into a highly competitive market segment at a time when Ultrabooks and Macs te...

  • Performance, Size and build quality, Plenty of features
  • Keyboard and touchpad, Screen could be better, Discrete graphics don't add much
  • If it had a better keyboard and touchpad, the XPS 14z would be at least a 4-star notebook. It offers great performance and features for its size and price point, making it suitable for anyone who wants plenty of power and convenience in a unit that's also...

  • A great pitch for the perfect size/price/performance ratio
  • Screen could be more vibrant, Ports on the rear are inconvenient, A third USB port wouldn't go astray
  • The XPS 14z is a great all-rounder, and we can see it entering the arsenal of both consumers and businesses alike.
