Review Of Dell Inspiron 14
REVIEW:
The Dell Inspiron 14 is a bigger and better version of the Dell inspiron mini 9 and Dell inspiron mini 10 netbooks. The designers of Dell are trying to give a similar look to all the inspiron netbooks, so you will find some similarities in the designs of all these netbooks. Dell has launched this netbook with lots of colour options to attract more and more customers.
Actually it is a midsize laptop, available at an affordable price and gives good configuration also. It has a nice design. The chassis of this netbook is made up of a combination of plastic and alloy so that it can provide both durability and affordability. It has a LED display of 14 inches which has 1366×769 native resolutions. This display is enough for playing 720p HD videos.
It provides us a user friendly keyboard. Its keys are wide and flat which gives a nice typing experience. You will not find any media control buttons in this laptop which is surprising. Its touch pad is large enough to reach every part of the screen.
If you want a webcam, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in this laptop then you will have to pay extra money for that. Its battery life is not very impressive. It hardly works for three hours. You can upgrade its battery up to six cells or nine cells but again you will have to pay extra money for that.
