Is the 14rSE i5 worth the buck?

When compared to a similarly priced lenovo z480, which one would be better?

Wanted to say the z480 features a 1tb hdd, to my surprise the 15rSE has one as well.
But for a mainstream laptop like these, having a 7200rpm hdd is a plus, yes?

Actually how long is the battery life for the 14rSE,
let's say wifi surfing, how long would it last?

I would suggest you to buy from the Dell website though.

1. Most of the units do not come with backlit keyboard.
2. The models sold online all come with backlit keyboard. (Used to be optional, but Dell changed it.)

The 14rSE i5 spec was priced around RM 2,150 when I surveyed at lowyat, could have been cheaper if I haggle for it, but still, no backlit.
Not that the backlit keyboard is important, just to let you know that there are better options.

On the other hand, the Y480 from lenovo packs an even more monstrous spec, and is also priced cheaper than the 14rSE as well. (comes with backlit =D)

Dell has good reputation for its customer service.
As for Lenovo, though may not be the best, but I do not hear much complaints either.

The chance is, you are unlikely to get a faulty laptop, big companies do have good quality control(I believe).

But mate, choice's yours. I am merely giving you my 2 cents worth =)

14z could probably last you longer on a single charge.
But if you are a hardcore gamer, I would recommend you to stay away from all non-removable batteries.

It will automatically swap when it detects a program/application that requires high graphic performance.
