Dell XPS 14Z X14z-2310ELS 14-Inch Laptop (Elemental Silver)

The standout feature of the XPS 14z is that it has a 14-inch display housed in a chassis of a 13.3-inch notebook. Apart from the all-aluminium design, the narrow bezel is the first thing that you'll notice as the laptop boots up. The display has superb brightness and clarity good for gaming, HD video and everything else in between. In terms of build quality, Dell has kept up with XPS tradition and used metal extensively. The entire shell and palmrest is brushed aluminium. The backlit keyboard is comfortable to use for long typing sessions and the large track pad responds well with good support from the anodised aluminium and magnesium alloy palm-rest full marks to Dell for build quality.

There is both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, Ethernet, HDMI and DisplayPort all present neatly on the rear to minimize wire clutter. On the left side is the card reader and audio jacks, while the right side hosts the slot loading optical drive and a battery status indicator. There are heat dissipation vents present on the side, back and bottom useful as with such hardware it is bound to get heated up. The XPS 14z boasts of being the first Skypecertified laptop for video chat. The webcam quality is very pleasing great output, both in terms of video and audio. Another impressive feature of the laptop is the sound. The onboard JBL speakers are loud and clear good enough for a small room.

Overall very pleased with this notebook if you can get it under four figures, it's a good buy considering the build quality and components. It feels like it will hold up to anything, and is very sleek and impressive looking (similar to the Macbook Air).

I have a dell and I love the computer except for the issue with wifi that so many are describing. I had initially thought it was a problem with my router so I called tech support through time warner cable. they came out to trouble shoot my router and found that the wireless card in the laptop is faulty which you can see in different forums online. they turned off what they called the "N" portion of my router and all was good. I was finally pulling the speeds I was supposed to (initially pulling 2mbps with n off getting 19-20mbps). after that it would take several minutes for my laptop to connect to the router and they fixed that issue too although i have no idea what they did there. So the computer is at fault there but there are ways around it :) If you google dell xps 14z wireless card you can find multiple forums about this issue. Hope this helps!

Buy Dell XPS 14Z X14z-2310ELS 14-Inch Laptop (Elemental Silver) Now

I purchased dell xps14z about a year ago. The product looks quite good. The performance of the dell xps14z is good except for wireless connection. sometimes it is very hard to connect to wireless network unless otherwise you are 1 meter away from the router (then it works okay). I have contacted dell to solve this problem they gave it a few tries but never solve the problem. As I said, the computer is quite fast and the performance of the machine is good. But when you have problem to connect to wifi network, the laptop is not really useful. Now I am always using it with a cable internet as the wifi connection is not stable. Sometimes I am connected after a few minutes I am disconnected and so on. I do regret buying it as it is too expensive and makes life harder.

Want Dell XPS 14Z X14z-2310ELS 14-Inch Laptop (Elemental Silver) Discount?

I have had two persistent problems with my XPS 14z. The first one is related to projecting images for whatever reason projecting images on both the laptop and a projection screen is not possible. The second is related to my wireless network adapter. It is very fickle, and I need to disconnect/connect to my home wireless internet sometimes ten times a day to keep it working. That while all other wireless devices (my husband's laptop, iPad...) are working fine. Now, I understand that not all computers work 100% perfectly and that sometimes things needs fixing. But I have tried to work with Dell on both issues, and they make me do so many things for so long, that I just gave up. You are literally with them on the phone or on chat for hours without having your issue resolved. I don't want to pick the issues up again and waste another five hours talking to them about all the issues I know my computer is NOT having to cut to the chase. I'm so disappointed with their customer service, I'm pretty sure this is the last time I'll buy a Dell (I have had Dell consistently over the last 7 years). Honestly, unless you don't have a job or a life, don't get a Dell!
