Design

Initially felt when holding hands Inspiron 7437 is elegant in design and feel of the cool aluminum unibody shell for easy recognition. Have to say to the fans of Apple that, prima facie, Inspiron 7437 feels quite similar to the design of the Macbook Pro, partly due to the aluminum unibody shell and the thickness of the machine evenly.

However, the monolithic design lines exquisite still follow through Dell’s philosophy ever: Simple, crisp and masculine. That reflected the sharp details are beveled at the edges of the machine.

Except hinges rounded semicircle, left other details on the Dell Inspiron 7437 are “swipe smoothness” square or beveled sharp. With 345 x 15.3 x size 240mm, Dell is “flat” thin with only 15.3 mm thickness of the whole body evenly, layer thickness of about 0.5 mm aluminum, can easily recognize when flip back and observe from the bottom of the machine.

The peripheral connection ports are arranged on either side of the machine equally, and not bo sharp as in bezel. The two speakers are arranged symmetrically either side as 2 slot machine rectangular, in harmony with the overall design of the remaining socket. But perhaps by trying to harmonize the design so the sound quality emitted by these speakers is not commensurate with expectations.

Due to the slim design optimal and should monolithic optical drive DVD / CD often seen on the 14 inch laptop is also removed in Dell Inspiron 14-7000 Series. However, the need to use an optical drive now so it’s not much easier to understand and acceptable, removing it also saves the battery.

Inspiron 7437 keyboard in pretty well arranged and covered with colored emulsion similar alchemy with the camera body coated emulsion layer. Similarly with mini versions, the Inspiron 14-7000 Series touchpad possesses relatively large area, the touchpad are bevelled edges and sharp bo. Similarly keyboard, touchpad also be coated with emulsion. The function keys (function) quite adequate.

Like the mini version, due to reduced thickness of the 4-cell battery is also “flat” flat-out and layout attached to the rear body, making replacement disconnected or very difficult.

Part radiators are arranged immediately below the hinge, separate the bottom row of slot machines to suction effect of cooling air into service, after air coolers come in and will be spread out through the vents heat is arranged at the edge hinge region, this thermal design proved quite effective.

Not like the best point that I feel in this design is the screen edges too much (thick), making sense of the full-HD screen Inspiron 7437 … slightly square than rectangular ratio of 16: 9 commonly found in the full-HD screen laptop, perhaps this is because Dell has tried to thin the thickness of the machine so the parts are stretched more, occupy more area behind the screen layout more.

In general, thin, flat, sharp, strong and chic is the most striking feature in the design of the Inspiron 14-7000 Series.

Screen quality and touch

Compared with conventional laptop (not touch), Dell’s first advantage is of course located in the touchscreen. Multitouch quality (accuracy is supporting 10 simultaneous touch points) in sensitivity Inspiron 7437 is good enough for you to comfortably and perform tasks common touch on Windows 8, the touch key function is to regulate science than the mini version.

It can be said, compared with a mini version that we had the opportunity to evaluate the past, the Inspiron 14-7000 Series proved superior in quality screen. Not only own full-HD resolution, the screen Inspiron 7437 is very quality when displaying colors quite honest, quite brilliant, warm tones soothe minded and possesses a wide viewing angle (not change color when viewed at different angles).

Keyboard and touchpad

Compared to the same segment of the computer, the Inspiron 7437 keyboard is cared carefully, especially it is equipped with LED lights under the keyboard for use at night or in low light conditions, you can press function keys located on the F10 key to turn on / off or to increase or decrease the intensity of the LED light keyboard, very interesting.

I note you one thing, the function keys at the Dell Inspiron 7437 used directly, instead of having to press the Fn (function stands) + the relevant key as often seen in other laptops (eg Fn + F2). Also want to use the system as F1, F2, … F12 as other computers, please combined with the Fn key.

Touchpad nothing special, except for the bevelled edges are shiny and quite nice area, precision and sensitivity at a moderate level.

Utility software

Similar to other machines from Dell, the Inspiron 7437 is preloaded with Dell’s basic software such as Dell Audio, Dell Touchpad, Dell Backup and Recovery, Dell Update, … and the drivers (drivers) and software support support from relevant third parties such as Intel Rapid Store Technology, Intel HD Graphics and security programs McAfee Internet security.

Execution performance

The first thing that impressed me is very smooth execution machine, almost no noise emitted from the machine when executed. Because only own integrated graphics Intel HD Graphics 4400 Dell should probably not too focused on 3D gaming entertainment on your laptop, but the power of the integrated graphics card is enough to light 3D gaming experience as well as other entertainment tasks.

In application benchmark testing with Cinema 4D, implementing OpenGL performance Intel HD Graphics 4400 doubled compared to the previous generation Intel HD Graphics 4000, while the 4th generation Intel CPU platform also proved quite powerful Haswell powerful than previous generations though fond of power savings.

Indeed, the integrated graphics chip on the laptop had never been seen as strengths in 3D gaming entertainment segment, if not the worst. But with Intel HD Graphics 4400 Inspiron 7437 laptop in this concept may be a little change, in particular the new Intel graphics chip enough to afford the light or midrange 3D games at medium settings. Partly thanks to the support of 6GB of RAM and Intel surplus new generation.

Specifically, when 3DMark Advanced try the latest version (version 11), Dell Inspiron 14-7000 Series reaches 630 points in game demo FireStrike measurements, a 3D game demo heavy, compared to the highest point of the Untrabook line (706) and office computers (502), then this level is quite good but not impressive because only equipped with integrated graphics, Intel Core i5 4th generation instead of the more powerful CPU, also as only using HDD instead of SSD.

Stability and good performance is probably the advantages of Dell, which once again demonstrated when the 7-Zip benchmarks 9:20 64-bit version, the Dell Inspiron 14-7000 to 7141 MIPS Series record, compared to the Lenovo U430 5812 MIPS. The weakness of the data access in this laptop is evident when the machine only uses HDD instead of SSD drives as Dell Latitude 6430u in the same price segment, the performance measurement points of HDD attached to the unit speed medium.

However, it is enough for you to use in the video on Skype or phone, “take a selfie ‘in office lighting conditions.

Battery

As mentioned in the design section, the Dell Inspiron 14-7000 ownership Series 4-cell battery attached member body, 58Wh capacity. After 2 hours of HD movies online via WiFi, screen brightness at 90%, 50% sound and air-conditioned office turned at 25 degrees C, the batteries are 63% drop (and newspapers also 3h15 minutes). Such predictions can use the machine to view about 2 movies online HD movies continuously (equivalent to 4 hours) without recharging the battery.

If using regular office tasks and use less money, we can expect to use up time 6-7 hours depending on the needs and set up.

At full load engine temperature increases to 60-65 degrees Celsius, quite cool in air-conditioned room conditions, even when serious gaming can be up to 70 degrees C. The hottest location is close to the screen section, adjacent the sequence F1-F12 function keys and the opposite side at the bottom of the machine, the rest area cool.
