Computer: Inspiron 560 Date: 18 March 2011 Reviewed by: BellfieldSteve (Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire) Level of expertise: Good |
Title: Dell Inspiron 560 Review - excellent Product Uses: home pc, schoolwork via ms word and excel, internet gaming - world of warcraft, academic internet research. Review: Sleek black design, fast delivery, great options if you want to expand on the baseline system. Plenty of USB ports, HDMI output as well as the usual periphal ports. What I liked was I had a wireless keyboard and mouse and it recognised them immediately and didn't need to upload any device drivers. The pre-loaded Windows 7 is an excellent product and, even better, the addition of Word and Excel has saved a fortune in buying the full Office product. Fast and intuitive, I have not had to buy any additional software because everything the average user needs is already loaded including security software. I love Windows 7 network map which shows all of the divices detected on my network including a wireless printer plus adding devices is easy. Couldn't be more pleased - I now have 3 DELL desktops and 2 DELL laptops and they are all excellent. Great products. |

Computer: Studio XPS 8100 Date: 30 November 2010 Reviewed by: namefunnel (Boston, MA) Level of expertise: Expert |
Title: Excellent compact desktop with high performance Product Uses: software development, video editing and photo editing, research using the internet, audio editing Review: This is an excellent high performance desktop. The Intel i7 quad processor with hyperthreading is very fast, but it doesn't need the huge heat sinks that older quad processor chips required. The case itself is not intended for rapid hardware changes - it uses screws to hold components in place, and it's a tight fit for my fingers to make changes such as pushing in extra SATA cables. There is only 1 open slot (perhaps you could add a modem?). You can add a second hard disk and a second DVD/CD drive, but that's it. I've expanded the disk storage beyond this by adding eSATA and USB drives (eSATA is about twice as fast as USB on this machine). I like the power button on top along with two USB ports and mic and headphone jacks. The ATI graphics card is powerful enough for the engineering work I do (though I would have prefered an nVidia card in order to use their CUDA library). With 2 disk drives you could reconfigure the machine for RAID, but I haven't wanted to try this. At the moment I have about 7 Tbyte of storage on this machine (2 internal drives, 4 external) with 2 DVD drives, and it is very stable so I am very happy. |
