I have ordered this laptop in January 2012 thru Amazon. The delivery was on time as stated on the order form. This laptop has all the features and the specs I wanted. It is very light that you can take anywhere you go without complaining abouth the weight. The other feature that I like was the thickness, it is less than 1" and sound from the Left and Right JBL speakers was really owesome. With the specs I have selected; 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7-2640M, 8 GB DIMM, 750 GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive using internet was never been so fast. I would recommend this product to everyone who like to have a high end Laptop at a very affordable cost.

I must have looked at 100 different laptop models before finally going with the Dell XPS X14z. At first I had lots of recommendations for a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro, and I nearly went that direction, but in the end the Dell offered me a bit more punch for a better price. Coming from an HP laptop, I immediately appreciated the higher quality build of the laptop body, the better keyboard, and the much nicer trackpad. The 14" size is perfect for travelers that don't want to be on a cramped keyboard. The laptop is attractive, but I don't feel like you're paying extra for style here. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros
- Compact and lightweight, but doesn't feel cheap
- Great keyboard
- USB connections in the back keep cables out of your way
- Fast boot up and wake up from sleep
- Responsive trackpad
- Runs quieter and much cooler than other Core i7 laptops I've tested
- Good battery life
- Better than average sound quality from speakers
- Runs StarCraft 2 well in medium settings as well as other newer PC games
- Comes with Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements for free
- A whopping 8GBs of RAM right out of the box
Cons
- Audio and mic jacks are a bit stiff
- I wish the screen resolution was a bit higher
- No option for a matte screen
- Quite a bit of pre-installed stuff that you don't want or need
- Not one USB port on the side, so you using thumb drives makes you have to reach to the back
Overall this is a fantastic laptop. It's cons are heavily outweighed by its pros and the complaints I do have are quite minor in the first place. This is a great everyday laptop and it handles PC gaming well enough to give you something to use on the go when you're not on your more powerful desktop. It handles design work okay, but if you're doing it professionally, I'd find something with a bit higher resolution screen.
In the end, I'm really happy I went this direction instead of the Apple and Samsung laptops as I got a much higher price to performance value.

I bought this laptop few weeks back from Amazon. Everything else about this laptop seems Ok, except the below issues.
1. Even though the reviews I read everywhere on net about this laptop rates this as "Running cooler", I find that the leftside palm rest is getting heated a lot. I especially looked for a non-heating laptop, since my current Lenovo is heating like nothing. This laptop doesn't satisfy me in this aspect. Rest of the laptop is quite cooler thought.
2. Review of this laptop harps upon that this is a quite compact design of a 14" display in 13" chassis, I find that even though the glass of the display extends very close to the edges of the panel, the viewable display areas quite distant from the edges. Also I find the width/length of this laptop is close to my 14" Lenovo. So the above remark about this laptop is quite misleading.
3. The touch pad buttons are not giving a solid feeling.
4. Having USB ports only at backside makes plug-n-play quite difficult. I have to get up from the seat to plug USB.
Regarding the performance of the laptop I'm quite satisfied so far. But for over $1.1k, I think this laptop could have been better.
