Dell Inspiron 14 7000 Series DNCWA556H   

 

The Dell Inspiron 14 7000 Series DNCWA556H is a better model to go for than many of the Dell Inspiron laptop models that came before it, especially because of the improved design and aesthetics of this laptop thanks to the use of an aluminum material. Not only does the aluminum body give it a more premium look and feel but it also adds on the robustness of the design of this laptop.

 

Consequently albeit not a fully rugged laptop, the Dell Inspiron 14 7000 Series DNCWA556H can still be considered to have a sturdier design that can withstand a fair share of rough treatments without forcing the user to look for a new machine.

 

This is an averagely well performing laptop and one that comes with a pleasant backlit keyboard. The greatest asset of this laptop however is its interactive 1080p touch screen interface that immensely heightens user experience and actually enables the laptop to provide a better Windows 8 experience.

 

Design

The Dell Inspiron 14 7000 Series DNCWA556H has a more elegant design compred to many rivals and models in its class. Unlike traditional Inspirons that usually have a plastic lid, this laptop instead has an Aluminum shell with the only part that is plastic being the hinges. The thin aluminum body and chassis gives it a virtually rugged design which makes it well equipped to tolerate the inevitable knocks and bumps of every day use.

 

The laptop has a 14 inch 1080p touch screen display and the screen is made from Gorilla Glass. The ‘Fn’ key on the keyboard can be used to adjust the brightness of the keyboard and the screen as one pleases. This model has a backlit keyboard with well spaced keys and touchpad. The touchpad is nicely responsive hence can be relied upon for easy usage of the laptop.

 

The only problem is the keyboard keys are low leveled and shallow. As a result heavy typing won’t be possible on this laptop as it might easily cause discomfort despite the fact that the keyboard deck has enough room to rest the palms.

 

The slim overall build of the Dell Inspiron 14 7000 Series DNCWA556H makes it rather easy to fit and walk with the laptop in a laptop bag. However, the laptop is quite heavy and therefore not the perfect choice for a person who is always on the go.
