Display and Design
The Dell 14R comes with a aluminum finish top lid and keyboard deck, giving it a nice silvery finish which looks good with the standard sized black keyboard. The native resolution of its 14 inch screen is 1366x768 which results in a bright clean pixel free display. The multi-touch touchpad is large which makes it easier to use the gesture control for navigation using multiple fingers. The dual hinge design makes sure that you can use the touch screen without the screen bouncing around.
Processor and OS
The 14R comes with the latest 4th generation i5 processor clocked in at 1.6 Ghz and turbo boost up to 2.6 Ghz, this results in ample battery saving, yet you still get the extra bump when needed. The Windows 8 with the touch enabled screen is a treat to use as it is specifically optimized for touchscreen use.

And with the on-board 750GB hard drive the user can save all his data on-board and carry it around in this ultra-compact laptop.
