    Hello owners of the Inspiron 14 7437. The overall design of the new line is absolutely a killer. But the major turn off has been that extremely thick bezel. I owned a XPS 13 before and wow could I appreciate than thin bezel. For styles that is of course.

    It looks very very thick on some photos, while on others it looks tolerable. What are you thoughts about it? Have you noticed it? Regretted? Or thought it was just tolerable enough?

    I am very conflicted between the Inspiron and the XPS 14. I prefer the overall design of the 7437, but like I said, the bezel.... ....

    Thanks for your opinions in advance!

    Dell bezels have all been very thick for the last couple generations, with only a few exceptions... I'd say this bezel looks thick, but not any thicker than most Dell bezels; it's probably about the same as an E6420/30.
