Dell Zino HD iZHD-2609NBK Desktop PC (Piano Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought as a home theatre system.I knew that the video processor was going to be an issue - but I tried it anyway.Bottom line - it could not even play a DVD on a large screen.Never mind internet content (note - I have a fat 10 Meg connection so that was not the problem).

Then I bought a Zino from Dell, directly, figuring that If I update the video to 512 and 6 gigs of RAM that should do the trick.(I really wanted it to work).Well, it did, however, it was not 'snappy' at all.(I guess it was because I went with the standard option of a 1.5 ghz processor.I thought more RAM would be better.Wrong.

My Mac Mini (1.83) with 1 gig of RAM handles my home media much 'snappier' (word?).Anyway, you get the idea.

I went with a windows machine thinking that recording over the air content would be easier and more reliable than my mac mini / silicondust / elgato set up on the mac (for some reason my recordings were very unreliable).I know others have this working.However, I did not have too much time to dedicate to troubleshooting so we are back with a TV provider.Frankly, it would work from me (the over the air solution).However, it was just too much for my wife to handle.
