Obviously a huge draw of this system is the touch screen interface and it would be remiss of us to not cover it. We showed earlier how easy it is to use when installing programs and working with the interface on a day to day basis.
We have therefore included several videos of games in action on this page. I loved playing classic titles such as Plants V Zombies and Puzzle Quest on this system as it worked in a similar fashion to my iPad, just bigger.
Gamers who mainly play first person shooters will obviously not glean as much from a touch screen, but it is worth checking out.
As you can see games like this really come into their own with a touch screen and although its useless for First person shooters, I found it added a lot to the enjoyment of puzzle and strategy titles.
The only issue of course is that after a session of gaming the screen ends up looking like a dogs dinner. So we advise you to keep a cleaning cloth handy !
The onboard sound system is impressive, although we find the THX certification (Trustudio PC) a little bewildering. Sure, its impressive for an onboard solution, but any half decent dedicated sound system will output higher quality sound. We used our little HD camera to highlight how good the sound quality is, even under these less than perfect conditions.
Christ that must have taken quite a long time to handle that review Zardon. I thought this system would have sucked, but the information, testing and videos really painted a good all round picture. Its really very impressive. id go for this over an Imac anyday. (well apart from the 2560 resolution version!)
PLANTS V ZOMBIES OMFG ! I need to get this machine, just for that awesome game !!!
You seem to like Dell products here, ive never owned one, but some of your reviews make me consider some of their products. this looks really great, have to say.
This is like a cheap imac with a touchscreen. cant be bad to that. sound quality really impressed me from that video even via a little camera.
I read another review of this last week and was sold then, im doubly sold now. just need to get the cash together for my son in the new year. its not too expensive really, but funds are tight at this time of the year. he will love it. great article thanks.
That was such a great read, seriously. I dont think I could live with a touchscreen, i get annoyed with even a hair on my screen, nevermind slimmy fingerprints all over it.
Hey reviewer, clean your hands, that screen was minging ! 😉
I always buy Dell laptops. they might be bland, but they last forever. well mine always have.
Well I gotta point out that I dont think ive seen Dell ever get a bad review here, but after reading this, it would be hard to say it sucked, so much evidence in favour of the product. I think it looks really good, but it will take more than this to make me love dell. nice review however.
Heh, this is great for a family. I could see the whole family sitting around this having a laugh at the weekends. Nice one Dell thumbs up.
Hey what handheld camera are you using? thats some serious sharpness considering. I need one of them for my own projects. what is it ? pic info shows a Nikon D300S on the images? you using that for videos? if so, im shit outta luck, that costs a fortune.
Dell normally make me go ‘bleh’, but they might have a winner here. looks very well priced. hard to beat that for the price. core i3 would be enough really, 180 quid extra for the i5 and more memory seems pointless.
Very interesting and well documented article indeed. As Dell agents didn’t know, maybe you could tell me which Inspiron One 23 models have the HDMI/VGA/composite ports, please. Only the £879 one? I believe mentioning it in the article would be very useful (at least it would help me very much).
Thank you.
Very good review .
I appreciate the work done.
I have a small doubt regarding this product,
Is Dell AIO useful for softwares like Auto Cad , Solid Works, and MATLAB
