Title:

Amazing Machine for the price!

PostedOctober 31, 2012
Yes, I would recommend this product
Works flawlessly, the core i3 option with 4 gb of ram is just a perfect combination. Perfect for mid-level tasking and the graphics are not to shabby for an integrated video card. 720 P on this 14' screen is quiet good. I can easily be watching a video, open up 15-20 tabs on the browser and stil have extra processing power to do anything else I need. As for the battery life, anywhere between 4-6 hours based on the level of processing and screen brightness.

Title:

This is the worst computer

PostedMarch 17, 2013
No, I do not recommend this product.
This computer dose not do any multimedia worth the hype. It will not play on a tv in high definition, it can not automatically switch between Bluetooth and speakers or headset without reloading drivers!!!! It dose not play DVD's lousing drivers consistently. I have had to reload operating system twice. It has not fixed any of the problems. This is the most disappointing computer that I have ever owned I would rather go back to a reliable 386 than deal with the problems this one has. It only is my video conferencing box and it works ok for that. I have 3 cameras and need to switch between them and it is using a Logitech switcher and not the internal drivers so it works most of the time. It still louses the drivers and I have to reinitialize the driver and call to fix the problem. This is costing me money and clients. I do not think that I will be recommending dell or buying a dell product ever again. We bought 3 of these units and nothing but problems!!!
Cons:bad driver funtion, dvd not stable, does not switch audio automatically

Hello timinok,

Terribly sorry to hear you are having issues with your 14z. I would recommend updating your drivers on the website. Checkout the link below.

You mentioned you reloaded the OS. If you are going to do this, make sure you are reloading to factory spec. Dell Includes wasy to put the system back to spec, then use the link above to ensure you have the latest drivers.

Any other issues, don't hesitate to reach out to our Social Media team.

Title:

Solid machine, great price

PostedNovember 14, 2012
Yes, I would recommend this product
Hardware is amazing for the price, really good performing regardless of the OS.
The only reason why I am not giving it 5 stars is due to the fact that the first recommended update to pre-installed Ubuntu 11.10 messes up display driver (flashing green lines on top of the screen after update and reboot). Had to rollback using recovery media and then de-select kernel and xorg packages before update to avoid issue repeating itself.
