Dell Laptop Reviews from CNET Editors
Dell AdamoThe bottom line: Dell's upscale Adamo is a 13-inch laptop for those who value design and finish as much as performance, but its luxury price will limit the potential audience. |
|||
Dell Inspiron 15The bottom line: As a highly configurable budget-range black box, Dell's Inspiron 1545 laptop line can be a good value--as long as you don't pile on the upgrades. |
|||
Dell Studio 15 Laptop Computer (Intel Core 2 Duo T5850, 320GB HDD, 3GB)The bottom line: Dell's first release from its new Studio line, the Studio 15, sits between the Inspiron and XPS lines and offers a good mix of features for the price, but we'd be tempted to save up a few extra dollars for a thinner, lighter XPS. |

Dell Desktop Reviews from CNET Editors
Dell Studio XPS 9000 (formerly XPS 435)The bottom line: The Dell Studio XPS 435 successfully overcomes our bias against desktops that claim to be experts at everything through charming case design and a strong configuration at a relatively fair price. It misses greatness because of a handful of minor missteps, but if you need a do-it-all mainstream tower system, this Dell more or less covers all the bases. |
|||
Dell Studio HybridThe bottom line: If you're considering all of the computers in the $700 to $1,000 price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate this system's clever design and its relatively powerful hardware. |
|||
Gateway LX 6810-01The bottom line: The affordable Gateway LX6810-01 scores high points for offering high-end components right off the shelf. We recommend this system for multimedia editors and light gamers who can make use of its hard-working Nvidia 3D card and full 8GB of RAM. However, if you're looking more at straightforward performance, Dell offers a system with a faster CPU and a similar feature set for about the same price. |

Dell Monitor Reviews from CNET Editors
Dell G2410The bottom line: The plain-looking Dell G2410 offers stellar performance and an energy conscious interface at a low price. |

Dell Printer Reviews from CNET Editors
Color Laser Printer 1320cThe bottom line: The Dell 1320c is a decent choice for a small office or work group, but a little more cash will net you a faster printer with better print quality. |
|||
HP Color LaserJet CP1215The bottom line: The Color LaserJet CP1215 is HP's entry-level printer built to serve small workgroups, but it suffers from frustratingly slow print speeds, a missing LCD screen, and other problems. Your $299 will go much further with the Dell 1320c, another color laser with faster print speeds for the same price. |
|||
Dell 1720 mono laser printerThe bottom line: The Dell 1720dn offers fast prints and good print quality, making it an excellent mono laser printer for small offices or work groups. |
