Dell XPS 14 Review

Presentation





Dell is here as a personal computer in the house was sold in the United States. It was not always so, as it began producing company of desktop computers for businesses. In 1993, it introduced a line of high-end computers called Xtreme XPS system performance. He was considered a high performance machine, which set a new standard in personal computing. The next step for the XPS came in 2005 when it reorganized its range of computer games aimed introducing direct competition with extreme high-end systems such as Alienware and Falcon Northwest. The other companies generally offer greater customization in areas such as lights, fans, and painting. On the otherhand, the Dell XPS line was significantly cheaper than the rest of the field due to the superiority of Dell in the mass production and shipping. Following the acquisition of Alienware, Dell has decided to reduce the XPS line to avoid having two lines compete directly with computers. Time "XPS" had ended. Just as the porsche Cayenne no longer be a V8 and moved to a less powerful V6 engine in 2006, the XPS has stopped being produced with the top of the line specifications. Gone are the days of labor pain red liquid cooling and LED lighting.

Welcome to the new XPS. The front cover and aluminum bottom cover in combination with a black plastic casing around the edges just a little ... without interest. The symbol represents the system produces Xtreme, but there's really nothing on the extreme outside. I'm not saying this is wrong, but can be a good thing if you want to take a powerful Fujitsu fpcbp136 and do not show it. The XPS few years ago, for example, have bright red LED on the outside to show everyone around what is packaging.



Interestingly, the back of the computer club about an inch. Most of the remaining ports in the "bar". The bar is very sleak and integrates with the rest of the machine, but obviously the team would be more compact if these parts were built in the leads I see when I put less pressure on the main screen, for example, carrying a computer with the retrofit. Another curious feature is that instead of having the LED lights on the front, which is only two at the bar. Thus, the man sitting in front of you to know that your hard drive and the Dell latitude d520 battery is functioning properly. It is really important, I do not think these lights are useful in any case. What the bar is a small logo LightUp XPS.

From the front view is actually surprisingly elegant. It has slots or ports on the front, a PC rareity. The right side starts with an optical dirve (DVD or BlueRay) and SD card slot in the same color as the aluminum casing. Then, dressed in black is the eSATA port and an Ethernet connection. Working around my back, a group of ports immediately around the corner, and a USB port and Kensington lock slot in the end. The first group consists of HDMI ports, mini-screen, and power. The port placement is not the best on these sides. Ethernet is the slot in the right place. For some reason, is just perfect. Is it really so? Actually using Ethernet as often these days anyway? Children College, who is who. I'll take later.



I really do not understand why Dell decided to go with the Mini Display port, more than size. Especially since most of their machines with the display size of the port. The company that I know of that uses the Apple mini display consistently. It could be just a trend, or just make the cable to find a little more difficult. The HDMI location makes sense, right corner on the back. I do not understand is the power port. That does not align with anything, is only the third port on the bak. When you think about it, cable is the most used, it should probably be in a Convienent more, making it easy to find. Mac the way I could with it being the busiest port in the back, or the way from Compaq HP 6720s battery with what in his back in a corner. On the other hand, is ambiguous in a way that you have to tilt your computer before you find each time you connect



Also, I do not understand why there is a USB port on the back, and an eSATA port on the side. eSATA go directly to the motherboard, and when used to connect an external hard drive is as fast as an internal drive. These external hard drives often require a second power source, are the main connecting to the wall is not difficult you want to be dragged. This port is really only going to be used on a desk, an easy side access is not really necessary. If it can also act as a USB port, you must really be in the back and a normal USB cable to one side (for connecting an iPod on the side with an external hard drive at the rear).



The left side of the XPS is the fairest way back or right. Again, it would be very difficult for the screw. It has a USB port on the back and the microphone, the DIF S / P, which also acts as a port for headphones and normal headphone port. S / P DIF is the same size as the headphone jack, so it can also act as a headphone jack. It's actually a high performance audio systems would be useful for home theater by connecting the plug into the TV via HDMI. Forward is a large vent, I did not feel much heat coming from him, and is fairly quiet.


Recommendation




While the XPS line used to be top of the line of play is no longer the case. Even loaded with expensive upgrades to Dell, the XPS can not run today's games at the highest detail settings with frame rates to play games, much less tomorrow. While a team of level of play, this is still a powerful machine. It is very well rounded in terms of what you can do with games, media and treatment of the most demanding tasks. While a MacBook is an obvious choice for someone looking for just a multimedia machine, the Fujitsu lifebook t4010 battery not only sounds better, but also incorporates a much more powerful processer and graphics card. On the side of the game, something like the Alienware line is much better. Causing an Alienware machine, however, stands out like a sore thumb, and everyone knows the issues.


Finally, the XPS is somewhere between your Mac and multimedia Mac Dock like function, and an entry-level gaming with XPS, you can play anytime, themes fantastic explosion of speakers, and then walk in his training, meeting or class with her and not to be tried as if conducting an Alienware laptop. Alienware'm unaffected by any means, but anyone who is immediately deposited as a player. If you want to keep your life of leisure and business / independent scholars, while using the same machine, the XPS can be the answer. This could be the perfect computer for students, business people, or those who need a machine normal, conservative looking, but it has a little game on the side.
