Dell XPS 14z Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell December 23, 2011 Featured Announcement, Laptop / Mobile

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 23c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this. Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by running Furmark and Cinebench together.

The cooling system works hard to maintain stable temperatures, which would verify our findings on the previous page, in regards to the noise emissions.

The rear of the machine can get hot, in the area of the heat pipe and fan. The other surface areas of the 14z are actually cool to the touch, even after extended load.

    Nice little machine, my friend bought one. agree on the screen though. Apple have the edge there by a long shot. the 13 inch macbook air screen is GORGEOUS quality.

    The two tone design is lovely, they put a lot of effort into the machine and I like the centralised track pad. shame about the screen, but I dont mind TN screens, i use one on my own machine for work and its fine.
