Reviews

Dell Latitude XT2 Tablet

Dell's tablet isn't cheap, but it'll appeal to the business crowd who desire a solidly built system.
Dell Inspiron One 19

Following the trend of all-in-one desktops, the Dell Inspiron One 19 is aimed at the budget market and clearly shows in both design and performance.
Dell Adamo XPS

Dell's Adamo brand of notebooks emphasise design as well as mobility, and its latest offering seems to have an abundance of both. But will breaking tradition help the Adamo XPS trump the MacBook Air?
Dell Vostro 320

While a few tweaks such as an in-built wireless receiver for keyboard/mouse and a video input so it could double as a monitor for your laptop would be nice, if you're looking for a cheap all-in-one PC, it's hard to ignore the Vostro 320 as an option.
Dell Vostro 1220

At first glance, the Vostro 1220 looks like an ultraportable notebook that was born from Dell's consumer range. But instead Dell has created its own little niche, targeting the more fashion-conscious business user on a budget.
Dell ST2310

The ST2310 has a low price and is good for everyday tasks, but it lacks some of the extra features included with similarly priced displays.
Dell Mini 10v

Dell's Mini 10v keeps a lot of the features of the more expensive Mini 10, while dropping the price to AU$549. It's one of only a handful of AU$600 netbooks that doesn't look and feel especially cheap.
Dell Studio One 19

There's a decent but not great PC hiding behind the Studio One 19's touchscreen gimmickry.
