Dell Inspiron i14RN4110-7616DBK

It sports a full sized keyboard and a bright 14-inch display. The chiclet-style keyboard has a bit too much flex to it and feels slightly mushy when typing, but the keys are evenly spaced, and there's plenty of typing room. The touchpad is responsive and provides generally good cursor control but it is smaller than it needs to be; if you have big hands the pad will feel a bit cramped. The dual mouse buttons are also responsive and emit a barely audible click when pressed. At the top of the keyboard deck are a power button and two hot keys that launch the Windows Mobility Center and the Dell Support Center. The Support Center features a handful of useful apps designed to keep the Inspiron up and running and includes PC Checkup, driver downloads, and troubleshooting utilities.

The 14-inch screen has a resolution of 1366-by-768 and is covered with a glossy anti-glare coating. Image quality is good and the screen is plenty bright, but the panel loses its luster (and color fidelity) when viewed from an off angle. The glossy coating is reflective but it does help deliver more vibrant colors than screens with matte finishes.

Features
The i14RN4110-7616DBK is well stocked with features. On the left side of the chassis are VGA and HDMI video outputs, an eSATA/USB 2.0 combo port, one USB 2.0 port, and an 8-in-1 card reader. On the right side are two audio jacks (headphone and microphone), a speedy USB 3.0 port, and a DVD multi-drive. Around back are a second USB 3.0 port and an Ethernet port. There's a 1-megapixel webcam embedded in the display's upper bezel and a nice assortment of wireless features, including Intel Centrino WiMAX 6150 for broadband, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth networking.

Storage is plentiful, thanks to a 500GB hard drive. The 5,400rpm drive is preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium and Dell's Stage software suite which includes photo editing and movie playing apps, as well as a music player and file organizer. You also get Roxio Creator Starter burning software, Dell's webcam utility, Dell DataSafe Local Backup software, and a trial version of McAfee Security Center.

The i14RN4110-7616DBK comes with a standard one-year manufacturer's warranty that covers parts and labor, and you can opt for Best Buy's two-year protection plan with Geek Squad support for an additional $139.99.

Performance
Unlike the Dell 14R-1296PBL, the i14RN4110-7616DBK makes use of Intel's second-generation Core technology. It is outfitted with a 2.1GHz Intel Core i3-2310M CPU, and is populated with 4GB of system memory. Graphics comes by way of the integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 chip. Performance was less than stellar across the board. Its score of 1,809 on our PCMark 7 test was more than 400 points behind our current Editors' Choice, the U46E-BAL5, and 226 points lower than the Toshiba Satellite L745-S4210. On our CineBench R11.5 processor test, its score of 1.99 lagged the field, coming in behind the Toshiba L745-S4210 (2.03), Asus U46E-BAL5 (2.59), and Samsung QX411-W01 (2.56). It needed 5 minutes 42 seconds to render our Photoshop CS5 image tests, which was a good deal faster than the Toshiba L745-S4210 (6:35) but around a minute-and-a-half slower than the Asus U46E-BAL5 (4:10).
