Final Verdict

Dell XPS 14 is an elegant high-end ultrabook designed for performance and usability. It has a decent screen resolution, benchmarks, battery life, and construction. But the lack of connectivity choices and incredibly high price tags make it a high-end machine, which means that it should be purchased by those who need to use premium products. Nonetheless, it is still one of the most elegant Windows machines available right now.
