    No one seems to like the 14z, but the online reviews by reputable critics seem to be in favor of it over the 14r. I really need a large battery life for my computer, and everyone says that the 14r is just better than the 14z. I'm directly comparing this configuration Dell Inspiron 14z Laptop Intel Core i5-2450, 500GB, 14" - Black - Sam's Club

    and Amazon.com: Dell Inspiron 14RN i14RN-1818DBK 14-Inch Laptop (Black): Computers & Accessories

    I want a long (over 6 hr wifi use) battery life. Is it worth paying an extra 110$ on the 14r, is the battery life on this configuration of the 14r close to the 14z? :confused:
