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.
