Advantages: Very Fast On Internet, Great Graphics
Disadvantages: Abit Noisy

Well.. I love this computer, ive had it for about 6 months now and its fantastic! I dont know about all the technical stuff, sorry! To start with, it comes with windows vista home premium which is fantastic and very easy to use. Its also fabulous graphics! It goes very fast on the internet which is great, but it takes a while to start up. If you are looking to buy a new computer because you have an old one, this wont seem slow to start up to you, ...
...I generally just put mine on sleep mode overnight and whenever im not on it, its silent just like it is turned off and takes 2 seconds to start up.

If you are new to computers, this would be great for you because it is so easy to use and understand. Sometimes it is abit noisy when it is turned on but i solved this by squishing a thick book ontop ... Read review

Advantages: double proccessor, never overheats, very quiet, selection of grpahics cards, enclosed in silver casing
Disadvantages: none

The Dell Inspiron 530 was a birthday present for me and is a very stylish and new computer. This computer is very stylish because of the silver casing which covers the actual black computer box its self. Bothe DVD and optional blue ray disc drives are hidden making it look plain which also makes it look very neat and tidy. The Dual Core processor is capable of much more than it seems. All though Core 2 duo would be much better, the PC is able to ...
...that the 1.4Ghz is doubled meaning that the total output is actually a big 2.8Ghz! (reliable source - My dad who works for an IT buisness as a programer). There is also a selection of graphics cards to choose with this proccessor if bought online from dell. This computer makes little noise and is very quiet compared with my mums Packard Bell computer which has only a Pentium D proccessor. There are no disadvantages to this computer so far and I ...

...built XPS 420 directly from Dell which contains a 2.40GHz Quad Core processor, 4GB RAM, an Nvidia GeForce 9800GT, and all the other good stuff a computer needs. I ordered it late night on a Sunday, and I had it setup and working by the Thursday. Best of all? Shipping was free! Between pressing the power button and the computer being ready to use, you are looking at around 30 seconds. This includes me entering my password to log on. I see this as ...
...hadn't been for the current Dell offer and a discount code I had at the time. I will admit, I wouldn't have paid £920 for the system, no chance! Since starting the computer for the first time, I haven't had a single problem with it that wasn't caused by a faulty disk or my lack of patience. I would recommend it to anyone, even gamers. ...
