The Inspiron One 23 offers a Core i7-3770s at its highest configuration, but the rest of the line (and all Inspiron One 20s) will be saddled with second-generation, Sandy Bridge processors. It's a nice touch, but the eject button on the far right is the only one that's clearly visible - good luck remembering what the rest of them do.Īlso announced today are the Inspiron One 23 and One 20 all-in-ones, equipped with 23- and 20-inch screens, respectively. The display's face offers touch-sensitive control buttons that light up once your hand hovers near them, and fade into the PC's frame when they're not in use. You'll also find the Gigabit Ethernet jack, S/PDIF optical audio output, HDMI in and out ports, as well as room for the optional TV tuner.
The rear of the PC offers four more USB 3.0 ports (don't you just love Ivy Bridge?) though one was taken up by Dell's generic wireless keyboard and mouse combo.
On the right, there's the power button and a slot-loading optical drive DVD is standard, but there's also a Blu-ray option. The left side of the screen hosts the requisite headphone and mic jacks, a pair of USB 3.0 ports, and a multi-format card reader.
Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi are standard, and Intel's WiDi is available as an optional extra. The machine offers a fairly typical complement of ports and connectivity options.
If you'd like to get some gaming done on something a bit beefier than Intel's HD 4000 integrated graphics, you can upgrade to a 2GB Nvidia GeForce GT 640M. You can opt to dial the RAM up to 16GB, and storage options include up to 2TB of hard drive space, as well as configurations that couple the hard drive with a 32GB mSATA SSD. The standard XPS One 27 configuration offers 4GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. The XPS One 27 will offer two Intel Ivy Bridge processors to choose from: the 2.8 GHz Core i5-3450s and the 3.1GHz Core i7-3770s. The XPS One 27 also lacks a touchscreen - a common thread for the few 27-inch all-in-ones on the market. The edge-to-edge glass is a nice touch and complements the aluminum frame, but it sits on a fairly typical pedestal stand you'll get a few degrees of tilt, but it lacks height adjustment options. While attractive, the design isn't especially fresh. Pixel density becomes especially important when you're dealing with a desktop this large, and during our (admittedly limited) hands on time the XPS One 27 didn't disappoint: images appeared bright and vibrant, while text and video complemented the spacious resolution well. The XPS One 27 all-in-one starts at $1,399, and it's equipped with a 27-inch display (a first for Dell) running at a 2560 x 1440 quad-HD resolution.
Today, it's announcing a fresh new look for it's Inspiron One all-in-ones, as well as lending the performance-oriented XPS brand to a new 27-inch all-in-one PC. Dell has been relatively quiet on the all-in-one PC front, but they haven't been idle.
