The default color for this machine is Obsidian Black, but shoppers can also choose any of the following: Cherry Red, Jade Green, Promise Pink, Passion Purple, Alpine White, and Ice Blue.

The Dell Inspiron 14 is ideal for students. It's not designed to be a performance power house, but rather a regular laptop that can handle basic tasks such as web browsing, playing 2D games, and sending emails. However, consumers can speed things up a bit if they upgrade to the fastest Core 2 Duo possible.

One great thing about this laptop is that it has a really nice display. The 720p, LED backlit screen displays crisp images and colors. Dell is also offering shoppers to choose a 900p screen upgrade, which makes the display even more bright and clear! The native resolution of the 720p screen is 1280x720, and 1440x900 for the 900p.

This computer is available with three battery options: 9-cell, 6-cell, and 4-cell. The more cells a laptop battery has more life. Of course, more money means more cells and weight. The 6-cell is the best option for most users, there's not much more does it weigh than the 4-cells and can take four hours or more. Many people who find the 9-cells to unnecessary costs.

Overall, Dell Inspiron 14 laptop is a budget that played up not being able, something that really is not. For its price, you can not really find anything wrong with it. Perhaps the only drawback is thatare no optical drive or HDMI/DVI ports. It's obviously not designed to be a multimedia hub, which makes it very affordable to students or regular PC users who are on a budget.
