Category:
A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

Good As the name suggests, the Dell Inspiron 14z gets a 14-inch screen. It does the job, but there's certainly nothing special about it – the 1366 x 768 pixel resolution is average at best, and the glossy finish can be frustrating when you're trying to work on a train or in direct sunshine. Dell has used aluminium for parts of the chassis, along with plastic, offering higher quality than most budget l...
Bad Unfortunately, Dell hasn't included a dedicated graphics card on the Dell Inspiron 14z, so you won't be able to take on the latest games, or carry out intensive 3D tasks. The Dell Inspiron 14z also proved annoyingly noisy when carrying out multiple tasks, with the fans kicking in when watching movies.
Bottom line There are better all-rounders than the Dell Inspiron 14z, then, but it's still worth a look if all you want to do is browse the web, or have a laptop to work on, and place comfort and quality above features. Dell Inspiron 14z is tagged with Dell, Dell...

Remember the Dell XPS 14z , Dell's premium 14in metal laptop? Well, if you can't afford one of those or, for some reason, the design doesn't appeal to you, there's the Inspiron 14z. Essentially a more wallet-friendly, chunky and ‘ordinary' version of its...

If you're looking for a laptop that has all the connectors and a DVD burner, you don't have that many options these days. Many Ultrabooks don't have a DVD burner, but that's not the case with the Dell Inspirion 14z. The Dell Inspiron 14z is an Ultrab...
Bottom line The Dell Inspiron 14z isn't perfect. The wired network connection is limited to 100 Mbit/s, and the AMD Radeon HD 7570 is pointless. The graphics card is faster than the Intel HD Graphics 4000, but not so much that it has any added value. On the other...
