Dell launches XPS 14z yesterday. I was there (a bit late) and had a short time with it. This post is NOT about the benchmark or processor speed. It is more on the outlook and the little things about this laptop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For a start, I like the packaging (see above). It is small and compact. Here is how it looks inside. BTW, that is the adapter on the left.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Dell XPS 14z is touted to have a borderless design. Here is look at the laptop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is a close up of the webcam.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I like the fact that they have separate the audio and microphone into two different port (some Dell design has them combined).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also like the touchpad. It is very big.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The keyboard is something I like too (especially it comes with backlit).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is another look of the keyboard in another perspective.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This XPS 14z also comes with SD card slot. Anyway, I think it has become a norm for most laptops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is located next to the mic and audio port.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a look from the bottom. Do note that the battery is NOT detachable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are a few unique designs on the laptop. To me, it is a love them or hate them thing.<\/p>\n

First, the hinge is very unique. Actually, I am no fan of this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, the speakers design. I prefer a more traditional one. This one seems to be a dust trap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the built in CD is just a slot. Again, I am paranoid on dust going inside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All the ports and connector are at the back. I am also no fan of this design. I prefer them to be on the left or right. Just my preference.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Close up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That is all for a super short preview of the Dell XPS 14z. The XPS 14z laptop is available now through www.Dell.com.sg<\/a>, and in select retail stores nationwide at starting prices of S$1,449 for the Core i5 version, and S$1,749 for the Core i7 version.
