Just got a month ago and I must admit its a nice laptop however the Nvidia 520m isn't the best graphics card for playing games in 1080p. Every game and program I use works perfectly from music editing to video editing however hooking up to a 1080P monitor with games lags pretty bad in the high settings. Its better then the Intel HD 3000 but I still feel like my old laptop ran the games better with my screen. If I had known this I would have opted out for the 15z with the slightly better card

"...work all day, work all night, into the dark." What about outdoor then? Give us the option to choose anti-glare screen.

The Dell XPS 14z is a nice looking notebook. It has basically enough power to get things done with your notebook. But it also has some serious issus. The biggest problem is the duration of the battery....about 90 minutes and you need to plug it in a socket. Absolutely not acceptable for a mobile device without a dedicated graphics unit! Next problem: only a few options for hardware. Why can't I choose between SSD and HDD? (components hardly acessible!) Give us more options! (RAM, Resolution etc)

Who else is carding or getting this laptop through anyform of fraud?

Is there any way I can use the other functions for the F1 - F12 keys.. Like controlling the sound, controlling the sound, etc.?

@cosmixdix Which ultrabook would that be?

[s3guraz]

The only thing I am missing on this laptop is graphical power. I would gladly pay +100 euro just to get some more power (like 525M or even 540m).

That's what's keeping me from buying one right away. Now I'm just waiting for new releases this spring =/

Can this play Battlefield 3 on at least 1280 x 720, Low settings, at 30-40 avg FPS? XPS line was originally designed for the cost efficient media enthusiast, that including high end games. Would be great to show proof of performance in these vids! Looks like a very nice, sleak laptop design nonetheless.

was thinking to buy this but end up buying another ultrabook with 540m graphics..:)

Instead of an integrated slot-load dvd drive, make it removable so customers can get the 256GB solid-state drive and add a 500GB 7200rpm drive. Fix that and give the option for an anti-glare screen, and you've got the world's most perfect laptop.
