Dell Inspiron Zino HD Piano Black Desktop PC (Windows 7 Home Premium) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Dell Zino HD (aka Inspiron 400) has so far been just what I was hoping for: a general purpose PC, small footprint, quiet, and with enough computing power to handle everyday tasks.Of course, how you configure it is up to you.

Specifics:
-- The Zino HD appears to have more in common with a laptop than a typical desktop PC. For instance, the power supply is external and similar to what you'd typically use with a laptop. With a case size just under 8" x 8" x 3.5", I'm guessing that the same engineers who design laptops had a hand in designing the Zino.Also, the CD/DVD drive is typical of what you'd find in a laptop...which is essential given the relatively small case size.

-- The size and overall design of the Zino HD gives you more flexibility on where you place it.

-- The Zino HD is very quiet.The cooling fan in the back makes barely a hum (again, similar to a laptop).

-- Dual-Core Athlon CPU + 4gb Ram + Windows 7 are probably the three "upgrades" you'll want to consider.After all, you can only expect decent performance if the hardware is matched with the appropriate operating system (and vice versa).Windows 7 (so far) has met expectations and appears to be a hit with the general user population out there.Microsoft got it right.

-- The integrated graphics card appears to be a good match for this machine.Online video programming and the sample HD video that comes with Windows 7 look great and without pauses.

-- So far, cooling doesn't appear to a problem - that was my main concern given such a compact case. Being a desktop, it's got a few design advantages over a laptop and I think that has made the difference.

Bottom line: if you want a general purpose, quiet PC, that you can place in the corner of a desk or on a shelf, then consider the Zino HD.
