    I have been looking for laptops and actually wanted 14z. But a better graphics card and processor made me choose the 14 with the i3 and 620m graphics card.

    I have submitted a request to ask if it is easy to replace the hdd with a ssd on either the 14 or 14z and also whether it is easy to replace the graphics card and it has been close to a week but I have not received any reply from Dell. Can anybody help me here?

    Posting on what notebook to buy didn't help too...

    That was a pain to get to. On my phone after going to additional info>manual. It goes on a loop till it says not available.

    I guess 14z is out then. It uses a Intel 3000..

    I'll focus on 14 3420 then.

    Those Lenovos only come with Intel iGPUs. If you want the better GPUs, then you may have to go with an XPS or Alienware (if y'all are set on getting a Dell).
