Dell Inspiron Zino HD Dekstop PC
February 13, 2010 | Computer, Desktop | 1 CommentNot to be confused with vanilla Inspiron Zino, which is based on the atom office has no authority to deal with certain daily tasks let alone HD video, HD Zino is a desktop suitable . Indeed, although CPU and GPU options are somewhat limited, you can configure one with up to 8 GB of memory and a 1TB hard drive.
Returning to the comparison Cute VS HD Zino, by looks only Dell is the clear winner. In fact, unless the Mac mini from Apple is pretty much more attractive to non-Atom desktop PC we’ve laid eyes on. It measures a diminutive 197 x 197 x 85mm and weighs only 1.6 kg. Its soft curves, symmetry and well-integrated white backlit power button to contribute to a machine that would not look out of place on an office designer or below a TV costs a few grand, and it certainly much cuter than the Cute. Nor do you see the ventilation openings disfiguring (apart from the single fan at the back) because they are well hidden in the base is slightly raised.
Like most Dell laptops and some popular consumer desktop line, the HD looks Zino is also highly customizable with a veritable plethora of color and design choices for the top. These include piano black in our sample, blue, green, orange, pink, purple and red, and del Infinito Horizonte, Green and Red Swirl Scatter. The latter, a biological model of different shades of red on white is my preferred choice, but there should be something for everyone. The top cover is a doddle to replace as it comes off by simply pressing a button on the rear of the chassis and clicks back into place easily.
Unfortunately, the shiny finish like fingerprints and dust, as much as ever and easily scratched, but this is less a problem on a machine you do not need to touch often compared to laptops, we often complain speak. Construction quality is decent but not exactly the toughest around, so this system should be treated with some care. The upper panel interchangeable flexes a bit but the main frame does not suffer from obvious shortcomings. [via trustedreviews]
