Pros

Pleasantly light and compact, Excellent keyboard and touchpad.
Attractive, elegant design, Strong performance, Excellent touchpad, Good graphics power, Runs cool
Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia switchable graphics, Thin design with aluminum and magnesium construction, Exquisite backlit keyboard, Big 750GB hard drive.
The high-end Dell XPS 14z is an attractive, powerful 14-inch laptop built into a 13-inch body, with plenty of configuration options, including decent graphics.

Cons

Needs more USB ports, Could use slightly more pixels on screen.
Most ports in the back, Mushy touchpad buttons, Narrow viewing angles
Battery life is a bit short.
Even with the approximate footprint of a 13-inch laptop, this still feels thick and heavy, especially compared with the new generation of Ultrabooks.
