Dell have installed an interactive Dock utility with the Inspiron One range of computers. This serves as a central place for frequently used programs. It is obviously rather like the Apple Dock and in this case serves a double purpose, as you can operate it with your finger via the touchscreen. We delve later into the touchscreen aspects more later in our gaming section.
All aspects of the interface can be operated with the touch screen and below we have included a short video showing the installation of WinRar without a mouse.
As you can see it is extremely easy to operate the touchscreen. Sometimes it is hard to work out if you need a single or a double click, but after a few hours of use it becomes almost second nature.
We can't say that we hold much value in the Windows 7 inbuilt rating system, however it is interesting to include as a quick, and somewhat limited overview of the system.
There are plenty of programs installed, some of which are needed to control various aspects of this specific system. We would immediately remove McAfee from the Inspiron and install something more light weight, such as AVG or Avast, but generally the install isn't actually too bad. This is sold as a versatile ‘all round' system so we do expect a slightly higher level of software to be pre-installed.
The bios is a pretty standard affair and has nothing noteworthy to report on. This isn't sold as a dedicated enthusiast gaming system so the settings preconfigured are exactly as we left them.
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
