Is this payed advertisement or what?

Dell proved with 13" laptops with CPU in older process, that they can be more economical. We see also much longer working 14" laptops from other companies.

This laptop is step forward for Dell, but it's still behind others. Heavy (others can do 1kg with 73Wh battery), expensive,  with throttling (you proved it in your review).

Maybe has got sense with LCD display (when people can live with throttling and weight), but with AMOLED nothing special for many cases. Sorry.
