By April, the number of the machines with the INSPIRON 14R 3421/3521 and INSPIRON 14R Touch 5421/5521 Touch have been sold out. In addition there are 4 touch screen models remain the previous design, the thickness of approximately 2.5 cm and machine configurations using Intel’s ULV processors. Dell also said it has equipped machine management technology batteries with battery usage time up to 6 hours continuous.
Design
Inspirion 14R Touch is the latest laptop from Dell in 2013, recently sold earlier this April. It has a plastic outer shell and aluminum on the machine and the lining is hand coated with a thin layer of aluminum so resistant texture, feels slick to grip the machine and reduces fingerprints, the frame is aluminum color silver feels sturdy. In terms of design, the Touch is still overall design of the Inspiron 14R old: 2.5 cm thickness, style frameless screen with the ability to identify 10 touch points simultaneously. If you glance at the screen frame and the outer surface of the 14R Touch is very similar to a computer and the Dell XPS 12.
To fully exploit this touch screen installed Dell 14R Touch for Windows 8 with a relatively stable configuration: Intel Core i5 ULV CPU, 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive. Except for the slightly longer boot is used by HDD - 24s lost between pressing the power button until the screen Modern UI, the average 5 seconds when opening an application, the machine is pretty good response time, the work Win8 faster responses and less on being late, especially manipulating the touch screen. Configure your machine to ensure that the tasks from basic to advanced, chip Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics processing power also in the wrong, you will still be playing the game of course, is in Low or custom Medium.
Battery Time and Temperature
Said Dell 14R Touch is equipped with intelligent battery management (65Wh capacity of the battery, 5640mAh) should have time to 6 hours of continuous use. According to the test, I let mode: do not turn off the screen, 40% brightness, battery Always On mode. With 100% battery, the machine head is from 10 am to 6 pm (8 hours away) but still more than 30%. Another test, watch the screen at 80% brightness, headphones, turn on WiFi, I still see two films totaling nearly five hours, the machine is still 30% battery. Thus it can be said of the battery life is quite commendable, little capital to get a computer running Windows.
It has good heat dissipation ability; to idle during the tests the battery for 3 hours at temperature components such as CPU, motherboard, RAM is only about 50-53 degrees C. When stress machine with AIDA64 software, and runs parallel Fur mark for 10 minutes at the temperature over 70 degrees C but the cabinet was still cool and not hot.
Display
Used by many Windows laptops, but the quality of the machine’s display screen that I like that are few and Dell 14R 5421 Touch is not included in this number. The first point is brightness (max) of the screen is not high, probably only about two thirds of the Alien ware M17x R3/R4 a very nice laptop screen. Next are not high contrast colors on the screen that looked like a dull matt coating opaque.
