Welcome to a Laptop Ac Adapter specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
Physically, the Dell XPS 14 weighs 2.15kg, has a minimalist design and it looks good. Its silver, aluminium lid contrasts nicely with the black, magnesium-based palm rest, and the centrepiece is a screen covered from edge to edge by Corning Gorilla Glass. The chassis itself is sealed, which means that none of the components, including the battery, can be easily replaced (unless you happen to have a set of small Torx screwdrivers handy) and there is silicone on the base, which provides a soft texture and acts as grip for the notebook when it’s placed on a desk.
The unit feels solidly build overall. We didn't experience any bending in the chassis (which is aluminium) or keyboard tray, and the hinges that hold the screen are strong. The lid did bend a little when we applied force to it, and this produced puddling on the screen with battery such as Dell 02H098 Ac Adapter , Dell 2H098 Ac Adapter , Dell Inspiron 1000 Ac Adapter , Dell Inspiron 1100 Ac Adapter , Dell Inspiron 5100 Ac Adapter , Dell Precision M50 Ac Adapter , Dell Latitude D800 Ac Adapter , Dell Inspiron 6400 Ac Adapter , Dell Latitude D620 Ac Adapter , Dell Precision M60 Ac Adapter , Dell Inspiron 6000 Ac Adapter , Dell Latitude X300 Ac Adapter , but it wasn't too bad. The Gorilla Glass protects the screen from the front, but the downside is that its glossy finish will reflect lights, which can be very annoying unless you turn up the brightness. The screen is very bright on this notebook, and this will mitigate a lot of reflections. Be sure not to use the maximum screen brightness in a dark environment — we found it to be too bright and uncomfortable to look at . A lot of the time, we used the lowest brightness setting.
Around the edges of the chassis, the XPS 14 houses an SD card slot, a combination headphone and microphone port, full-sized HDMI, mini DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet, and two USB 3.0 ports. As far as Ultrabooks are concerned, it's a useful array of connectivity, although we would have liked at least one more USB port to be placed on the right side of the notebook — both USB ports are on the left. Wireless connectivity is supplied by an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 module that supports dual-band Wi-Fi and Intel Wireless Display (WiDi), and you also get Bluetooth. A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is present for aiding data security.
The chassis is just shy of 22mm with the lid closed (and taking into consideration the silicone base underneath), and its cooling system sucks air from vents that are located on the underside of the base. Warm air is then pushed through the exhaust vent on the spine, just in front of the screen. The base got a little warm as we used it for Web browsing, YouTube watching and basic office work on our lap, but it wasn’t overly uncomfortable. Fan noise was bearable when the notebook was under a heavy CPU or graphics card load.
