Dell XPS 14z Review

The Dell XPS 14z arrives in a very attractively designed box with the XPS badge on the front, and a ‘reflected' image of the laptop offset to the left. Very stylish artwork and rather reminiscent of Apple packaging.

Inside, the XPS 14z is protected inside a smaller cardboard box with heavy duty foam surrounds for additional shipping protection. There is a smaller box which contains the power plug.

The XPS 14z is protected securely inside a strong box, covered in plastic protective wrapper which rests on a felt pad.

The bundle covers the basics. An optical disc with drivers for a reinstall, and some literature on the product itself, including warranty information. There is also a multi region power adapter.

The power adapter works inside a 100-240v range. It is a 19.5V / 4.62A model. Dell include a regional specific power plug in a separate package.

There is no doubt that the XPS 14z is an attractively designed product, and it immediately reminded me of a Macbook Pro, with silver aluminum chassis and minimalistic design.

Underneath is a vented area to help with airflow. The pattern they have cut into the chassis is rather complex, on close inspection.
