Dell Inspiron 14z reviewed
11:33 AM Posted by ukmad
Under the Technology category here is the first review of a new Laptop from Dell.
By Sandeep Hegde
Dell Inspiron 14z (Cherry Red) Specifications:
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CULV SU7300 (1.3GHz, 800MHz, 3MB)
- OS: Windows 7 Premium (64-bit)
- Memory: 3GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 at 1066MHz
- Storage: 320GB 5400rpm HDD
- Graphics: ATI Radion 512Mb
- Display: 14.0” HD (1366x768) WLED Display and webcam
- Optical Drive: 8x CD/DVD burner (DVD/-RW/R) with Dual-Layer
- Wireless: Intel Wireless 5100n
- Battery: 6-cell LithiumIon battery (48.8 WHr)
- Dimensions: 1.0"-1.5" x 13.3" x 9.4" (H x W x D)
- Weight: 4 lbs, 9.9 oz
Bought from Starnet Computers, Belgaum (http://www.starnetbelgaum.com)
Build and Design
In design and looks; the Inspiron 14z is similar to the Inspiron 14. There are, nevertheless, some differences between the two models. The 14z is more power efficient than the Inspiron 14 due to its CULV processor and WLED display.
The notebook is made of relatively thin plastic, but build quality is good. The display lid, however, does suffer from minor flex: you can create ripples on the screen by pressing the back of the display. Other than that, there are no major problems with the build quality.
The bottom of the notebook provides easy access panels for the hard drive and RAM.
Screen and Speakers
The 14-inch display has 1366x768 pixels. Colors are good but contrast isn’t very impressive. The WLED backlighting is even and provides a wide range of brightness settings. Horizontal viewing angles are pretty good, but vertical viewing angles are average.
The stereo speakers are located beneath the front edge of the notebook palm rests so you will only hear a muffled sound when you put the laptop on your lap. Put the device on a desk and you should be able to hear better audio. Sound quality isn’t particularly good or bad. Audiophiles will definitely find a pair of headphones useful and the headphone jack produces clear, distortion free sound.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The keyboard has full-sized keys. It is very firm and shows absolutely no flex at all. The only problem with the keyboard is probably the lack of backlighting.
The touchpad is a Synaptics model using Dell’s proprietary touchpad drivers. It supports multi-touch controls. Sensitivity is good with very little lag.
Ports and Features
Port selection is average for a notebook of this size. There are 3 USB ports, HDMI video out port, VGA, a multi-format memory card reader, Ethernet and a standard 8xCD/DVD burner with dual-layer support. The Inspiron 14z doesn’t have an ExpressCard slot, eSATA or FireWire.
Performance
The Inspiron 14z runs on an Intel Core 2 Duo CULV SU7300 processor with ATI Radeon 512Mb graphics. Performance is good for daily activities such as surfing the web and processing Office documents. You can also make simple edits to your photos or videos.
The CULV processor is highly power efficient but it does affect the overall performance of the notebook. That said, the machine is still good enough to serve your basic needs as a family notebook. But if you want to play the latest 3D games or run high-end photo editing applications, this is not the laptop to buy. The price tag, too, seem a bit odd.
Battery
The Inspiron 14z has a 6-cell 48.8 WHr battery. At around 8 hours, battery life is impressive for a notebook of this size, but still it falls short of Dell’s promise of 66% better battery life.
Heat and Noise
The cooling system does a good job and keeps the heat and noise levels well within normal limits.
Pros:
· Awesome Looks
· Light Weight & Thinner
· Comfortable Keypad
· HDMI Port
· Long Battery Life
· Windows 7, 64 Bit
· WLED Screen
· Less Heat
Cons:
· Average Performance
· No Keyboard Backlight
· Slightly over priced
· Poor Webcam Quality
Considering all these pros and cons, I’m still satisfied with my choice of Dell Inspiron 14z. I don’t say it is the best model available in market, but surely I could say it is a model you can consider for comparison if you are looking for a longer battery life. I hope this article would have provided a user review of Dell Inspiron 14z laptop as well as few tips on choosing a laptop. I would love to receive your comments/queries J

On 07 November 2009 300 students in the line of Fire at AITMthis story was published.
It’s about a college which has come up in danger zone of weapon firing ranges of the Indian Army on Savagaon Road in Belgaum.
The Suresh Angadi Education Foundation’s Angadi Institute of Technology and Management (AITM) have been built amidst a firing range on Survey No. 72/73, which lies in the danger zone in the “Baghdad-Asmara field firing ranges”. The said area has been notified as a firing range in the Karnataka Gazette notification of February 10, 1981.
Station Commandant of the Maratha Light Infantry Regimental Centre (MLIRC) wrote to the Deputy Commissioner in the second week of September looking for urgent action in the matter, and there has been no response.
The district administration has given permission to the said college without the permission of the MLIRC.
The college is run by the foundation which is headed by Suresh C. Angadi, BJP MP.
Why there is a delay for a response from the district administration in this matter of urgency is still not known. Or will the authorities wake up when an untoward incident happens at the site.

High court order not implemented to KHB construction still on
4:14 PM Posted by ukmad
Today itself in a post, High court order against construction work at Jakkeri Honda.
Today at 2pm and 4 pm pictures taken on the site tell a different story.
The work is on in full swing and where is the injunction order passed by the High Court is not known. Also who has to implement the order must also be the question in front of the authorities.
The judiciary passes an order but who will implement it? Isn’t this contempt of court?
The blog is trying to get in touch with KHB on this.
High court order against construction work at Jakkeri Honda
12:04 PM Posted by ukmad
The Karnataka High Court has passed an injunction order on a writ petition filed by Ganesh J. Oulkar, seeking orders to restrain the Karnataka Housing Board, from constructing any residential quarters, building or apartment and changing the nature of the land at Jakkeri Honda.
Ganesh J. Oulkar, who filed the petition on June 27, he said that the KHB had taken up construction work on the open space marked for a park at Jakkeri Honda in violation of the Karnataka Parks (Protection) Act.
KHB was going ahead with the construction work despite the order. In August 2006, the district administration granted permission to the KHB to construct residential quarters for the employees of the Revenue Department at Jakkeri Honda. But the KHB had taken up construction work on an open space marked for a park. Belgaum City Corporation, which is also a respondent, had not granted permission to the KHB to take up construction work on the open space.
