Dell Inspiron considered entry-level laptops, but the days of cheap, bulky plastic covers seem to be behind them. In fact, the Inspiron 14z (i5) with a brushed aluminum top that makes its predecessor, the Inspiron 14z, looks like a relic. In addition, the chassis is a complete overhaul. The band protruding in the back as we have seen on the Dell XPS 15z ($ 1,534 direct, 4 stars)-65WH battery cover major and measures only an inch thick, in spite of its integrated into the optical drive. The ID47H02u Gateway, Samsung QX411-W01 is (list $ 899.99, 3.5 stars), and Asus-U46E BAL5 ($ 699.99 list, 4.5 stars) features a similar design in metal and one inch of tops thickness of the top management to Inspiron 14z (i5) with very good.

It weighs 4.5 pounds, equivalent to the gateway ID47H02u (4.4 pounds), and lighter than Asus U46E-BAL5 (4.9 pounds) and Samsung QX411-W01 (5.1 pounds).
The 14-inch widescreen display is as sharp as in the Asus BAL5-U46E. QX411-W01 Samsung, by contrast, uses a glass screen and television, which also produces vibrant images, but reflects more light. Like all other 14-inch laptop in its class, the screen resolution is limited to 1366 by 768 14z. Higher resolution displays can be found on the Sony VAIO VPC-SA2FGX/BI ($ 1,199.99 list, 3.5 stars) (1600 x 900) and Dell XPS 15z (1920-by-1, 080).
The experience of writing is simply beautiful, as it uses the same Chiclet-style, slightly wavy line keys Dell XPS great improvement from the previous iteration Inspiron 14z. Under the keys are backlit LEDs, which makes the keyboard unlit room even more valuable. This is a feature you will not find on laptops from the mainstream. My complaint here is that the mouse buttons gave my thumb a large job, you really have to push for an answer.

Feature
Like all laptops 14 inches, I have already mentioned, 14z (i5) includes a DVD burner, but retains its dimensions as thin as the Asus and Gateway U46E-BAL5 ID47H02u. It is the only one left on a VGA port, an avant-garde movement and instead opted for two Mini HDMI and DisplayPort technology. The two connectors can carry digital audio and video to an external monitor. There is a USB 2.0 port and two USB 3.0 ports, which transfers data 10 times the speed of USB 2.0. Cover Port, which is a nightmare for me, being detached to access all ports. Hide doors made for aesthetic reasons than for protection, and having to remove a port cover to get to a USB port is annoying.
640GB 5400 rpm hard drive is not the largest available (configuration options go up to 750 GB), but is larger than 500 GB which can be found in the Gateway ID47H02u. In addition, 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, 14Z (i5) is a wireless display 2 (Widi 2.0), which, as HDMI and DisplayPort, send video and audio without the wires annoying. Need a Netgear Push2TV HD receiver, instead, $ 49 extra on the Dell site.
Performance
Inspiron 14z (i5) is much faster than the original Dell 14z in terms of CPU architecture, the gigahertz rating and energy consumption. In fact, I think the 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5-2410M Inspiron 14z (i5) is a standard voltage processor, unlike the low-voltage version available in Dell 14z. It is a monstrous jump in speed, and with 6 GB of memory, 14z braking (i5) treated Main (1:58) and Cinebench R11.5 (2.56) so violently that Asus U46E-BAL5 (1:53 on the brake hand on Cinebench 2.59) and QX411 Samsung-W01 (1:59 on the hand brake; on Cinebench 2.56). He received top marks in the PCMark 7 (2308), a gauge of overall performance, although the rest of the field was not too far behind. In terms of graphics power, the Intel integrated graphics solution to many games with medium quality settings. But the mainstream laptops such as HP Envy 14 (Sandy Bridge) and W01-QX411 Samsung has discrete graphics chips, allowing users to call eye-candy.
The speed of the world does not matter if the mainstream laptops can not hold a charge on the road. Fortunately, 14Z (i5) contains a large battery 65WH, which lasted 8 hours 38 minutes MobileMark 2007 battery test. Score said that Samsung QX411-W01 (8:48), and Gateway ID47H02u (8.23), and maybe the Asus-U46E BAL5 (7.19) for over an hour. Unlike batteries, Samsung QX411-W01 and ID47H02u Gateway, one of the 14Z (i5) is removable if you do not want to carry around extra batteries.
When you look at the main components of a consumer notebook, the Dell Inspiron 14z (i5) is highlighted in each of them, if battery life is excellent (more than an hour longer than the Asus-U46E BAL5), speed or its feature set. This wins the election lapotp dominant gesture of our editors. Peeves as mouse buttons and stiff covers the port is small in the grand scheme of things.
