Dell Inspiron i14z-8001sLV 14-Inch Ultrabook (Silver) Review

Config I7 cpu, 8Gb Dram, 500Gb HD + 32Gb msata Cache (upgraded to 64Gb, see below), 1Gb graphics Card.

I bought the Inspiron 14z ultabook mainly for distance learning classes, so I could study on the train. It's blazing fast. Start up time is 37s from power on button to Firefox launch.

The dedicated video card makes a world of difference in smooth video playback. Web pages load almost instantaneously. This is crucial if you are doing research on the web. It turns a 1 hour task (of my acer netbook) into a 15 minute task.

The 14" screen is perfect IMO for travel. The keyboard is a little "bouncy" so if you prefer hard, stiff keys, you might find this annoying. It's not an ultrabook in weight (~4.1lbs), it's more like a lighter work laptop. It is actually perfect for my use in terms of size, and performance. Having a dvd drive is still useful on occasions.

I skype a lot with it and the camera and sound are great. Even when I have a small fan running in the background, the person on the other end can't hear it, but can hear me perfectly.

I can run firefox with a dozen tabs open, my PDF editor, video editor, without a hiccup.

Upgrading is a bit of a chore. I wanted to upgrade the mSATA cache, b/c even though 32Gb is good, it's not actually 32Gb, b/c ~18Gb is used for the cache control. Both Dell and Crucial said I couldn't upgrade. It didn't make sense, so I upgraded anyway. The max cache size is 64Gb and anything more can be used as another hard drive volume. I bought a 256Gb mSATA drive. So I have a 64Gb mSATA cache + 174Gb SSD drive along with the default 500Gb platter HD.

To upgrade, I had to remove in order 1). memory (b/c there's a screw underneath that disengages both the DVD player and the Keyboard. 2). the DVD player, 3). keyboard, 4). palm rest.

The good thing about this is that all these parts are completely replaceable. The battery can be replaced as well after all this; it's just a rectangular block.

I would give it 5stars if it were lighter (like 3lbs), had one more USB 3.0 port, and had longer battery time (~5.5hours IME). Overall, this is a great little lappy for the serious mobile worker. I'm very pleased with it.
