The Dell XPS 14 L421X is a 14-inch laptop released in the summer of 2012. It has a 1600x900 pixel display powered by a Nvidia graphics card and an Intel processor inside. The main chassis of this laptop is made from a single piece of machined aluminum, and the bottom side is additionally coated with a layer of silicon that helps it grip in place on a table. The edges are flat and feature two USB ports, an HDMI port, a mini DisplayPort, an Ethernet port, and headset jack.

You can find instructions for disassembling the Dell XPS 14 L421X here on iFixit or in the owner’s manual. Removing the bottom cover of the laptop requires a T5 Torx screwdriver; make sure you get the six screws at the edges as well as the two that are hidden beneath the metal badge in the center. The laptop has a single slot for memory which you can populate with up to 8 GB. As for storage, the laptop has a 2.5-inch drive bay which can accept any standard SATA hard drive or SSD—both of which are factory configuration options—and a mSATA slot on the motherboard for a secondary SSD. Some versions of the laptop can utilize the mSATA slot for a WWAN card instead of an SSD, allowing you to use cellular data on the device.

To identify this laptop, flip it over and lift up the metal badge in the center of the bottom cover. You can find a sticker under the badge which contains the service code and service tag that act as unique identifiers for your laptop. Enter either of these numbers on Dell’s support website to find exact information about your device.
