The Dell Inspiron 14z is a full-featured laptop in a compact and lightweight design that will satisfy business- and home users. Here's our Dell Inspiron 14z review. It's a shame that Dell is probably going to abandon the consumer market in order to focus...
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...

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...
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...

Intel's original Ultrabook concept referred to ultraportable, ultraslim Windows laptops with a premium design and strict constraints on thickness and specs. But these days, vendors seem to label every semislim ultraportable they sell as an Ultrabook, a...

Intro Dell can usually be relied upon to give the consumer a wide choice when it comes to laptops, and is now doing the same with Ultrabooks (slim laptops with decent performance). It started out with the premium Dell XPS 13 and XPS 14 , but now we're loo...

The Dell Inspiron 14z is not a bad budget laptop, though it doesn't gel with what we've come to expect from the Intel Ultrabook label. It's not particularly light, its battery life and screen are only average, and its design tries for premium but falls sh...

The whole Inspiron line's received a shakeup of late, and this 14z version takes its cues from its bigger brother, the XPS 14z and the budget range of Dell's laptops. This results in a competitively priced machine, with some aluminium styling, a l...

The Dell Inspiron 14z has a glossy 14-inch TN screen with a fairly standard resolution of 1366 x 768 dots. Characters are clear and easy to read onscreen. Colour fidelity is pretty poor on this screen (deltaE = 11) and there's a strong blue overtone. Y...

The Dell Inspiron 14z is the latest creation from Dell, offering decent quality and style at an affordable price. It's not as impressive as the company's XPS range, but it could be worth a look if you're on a tight budget. The goodAs the name suggests...
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...
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.
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...

We were hoping the Inspiron 14z was at worst the cheaper and chunkier sibling of Dell's premium XPS 14z, but it wasn't to be. Its partially metal finish is a cut above, its keyboard and touchpad are nice, and it offers reasonable battery life and value. H...

With its svelte metallic chassis and compact dimensions, the Dell Inspiron 14z is a far cry from the company's previous all-purpose laptops. Taking a design cue from its redesigned XPS range - such as the Dell XPS 14z - which itself is based heavily on...

The Inspiron 14z is one of Dell's new 'thin and powerful' laptop range. It doesn't quite fit into the superslim 'ultrabook' category but it's a lot cheaper than the ultrabook models we've seen so far while still being slim and light enough to slip easily...
Bottom line: It's nothing fancy, but the Inspiron 14z is a good all-round laptop at a competitive price...

Review date: 09 November, 2011. Review by: Darren Allan This refresh of the Dell Inspiron 14z is the second laptop we've recently reviewed that plumps for a sporty red colour scheme along with black trim - and a very smart piece of hardware it looks...
Impressive build quality; good allrounder at this price point...
No discrete graphics card; irritating port covers.
Dell has produced a smart budget machine with the refreshed Inspiron. It's true that the laptop relies on integrated graphics, which means its power isn't everything when it comes to gaming. That said, the 14z is a good all-rounder that's well built an...

The Inspiron 14z as it is known features a second gen Core i5 CPU and some good on paper specifications. Today we have one on our test bench to find out what this model has to offer for those who don't need a 15"+ system.
When we receive systems from Dell they come with a certain level of expectation attached. Alienware systems we all know are high end kit, the XPS range not quite as gamer orientated and of course Inspiron's are more mainstream... so it was quite a sur...

I wanted to like the Dell Inspiron 14z when I first opened the laptop's lid. Alas, love at first sight faded to “let’s just be friends” in short order. The Inspiron 14z - Dell sent us a "special edition" unit for testing - has a lot to like, but a few...
Overall, the Inspiron 14z is a light, attractive laptop that's easy to lug around and offers good performance for its sale price. However, strange ergonomic choices make this a less than an ideal unit, particularly if you're a touch-typist...

Dell's thin-and-powerful laptop range now includes the sub-2kg Inspiron 14z. It's a neat little 14in laptop with a slim body (it's around 25mm thick overall), yet it doesn't make compromises when it comes to features: it ships with a full-voltage Inte...

The Inspiron 14z is a good choice for anyone who wants good speed and lots of features in a relatively small and comfortable-to-use chassis. It weighs only 1.95kg, it's 25mm thick and it feels quite well made overall. it's a good model for students and...

The Dell Inspiron 14z laptop makes a clear statement: you are probably a student, you want a whole lot of battery life on a Windows 7 machine, and you probably don't care much about performance. A small, sleek portable, the Dell Inspiron 14z mainly...
Dell has aimed the Dell Inspiron 14z squarely at users who are more concerned with flash than substance, and who consider a 7-hour battery life to be a core quality for a laptop. Students are an obvious demographic here, and they should be able to get...

It has been a while since a small to medium sized ultrabook has landed on our desk for review, but Dell's 14z is just that, along with a few surprising inclusions.To start with, the 14” ultrabook is actually lighter than it looks at 1.87 kg, if a bit heav...

The Dell Inspiron 14z is a machine of several surprises. It's also a very good machine; falling closer to the “budget” side, no doubt, but a good machine nonetheless. Dell may not have intended great things for this Ultrabook, but for what it's worth, the...

The best part about the Dell Inspiron 14z? It's inexpensive price tag; a tag that gives you an Ultrabook with solid performances, discrete graphics and an optical drive squeezed into a sleek, portable chassis. Sure, not everything of it is perfect, but h...
