Product Review
Specs:
Microsoft Windows Vista
The Good:
Strong single-application performance well-suited to large-batch media file conversion; respectable amount of internal upgrade room.
The Bad:
Multitasking performance from dual-core CPU loses out to quad-core systems that only cost a little more.
The Bottom Line:
Dell's Inspiron I530-120B is a fine workaday desktop, but we find it could use some more excitement. It has its strengths, and its features are reasonable for its price, but we wish Dell had done more to differentiate this desktop.
