Dell Laptop Reviews from CNET Editors

Dell Studio 15
Editor's rating:
3.5 stars

Dell Studio 15

The bottom line: Dell's first release from its new Studio line, the Studio 15, sits between the Inspiron and XPS lines and offers a good mix of features for the price, but we'd be tempted to save up a few extra dollars for a thinner, lighter XPS.

Dell Inspiron 15
Editor's rating:
3.5 stars

Dell Inspiron 15

The bottom line: As a highly configurable budget-range black box, Dell's Inspiron 1545 laptop line can be a good value--as long as you don't pile on the upgrades.

Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Netbook Computer (Intel Atom N270, 120GB HDD, 1GB)
Editor's rating:
3.5 stars

Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Netbook Computer (Intel Atom N270, 120GB HDD, 1GB)

The bottom line: Dell's Mini 10v keeps a lot of the features of the more expensive Mini 10, while dropping the price below $300. It's one of only a handful of $299 Netbooks that doesn't look and feel especially cheap.

Dell Desktop Reviews from CNET Editors

Dell Studio XPS 8000
Editor's rating:
3.5 stars

Dell Studio XPS 8000

The bottom line: The Dell Studio XPS 8000 offers a strong combination of midrange performance parts that should satisfy anyone looking for a midtower desktop for general productivity, digital media editing, or gaming. It lacks a few performance-oriented extras, but it makes up for any deficiencies with its attractive looks.

Dell Studio XPS 9000 (formerly XPS 435)
Editor's rating:
3.5 stars

Dell Studio XPS 9000 (formerly XPS 435)

The bottom line: The Dell Studio XPS 435 successfully overcomes our bias against desktops that claim to be experts at everything through charming case design and a strong configuration at a relatively fair price. It misses greatness because of a handful of minor missteps, but if you need a do-it-all mainstream tower system, this Dell more or less covers all the bases.

Dell Printer Reviews from CNET Editors

Color Laser Printer 1320c
Editor's rating:
3.0 stars

Color Laser Printer 1320c

The bottom line: The Dell 1320c is a decent choice for a small office or work group, but a little more cash will net you a faster printer with better print quality.

Dell Multifunction Monochrome Laser Printer 1125
Editor's rating:
3.0 stars

Dell Multifunction Monochrome Laser Printer 1125

The bottom line: Aside from a few complaints, we like the Dell 1125's overall package. The reasonable price tag also helps. We would recommend the Dell 1125 as a sensible solution for shoppers in the market for a text-specific all-in-one.

HP Color LaserJet CP1215
Editor's rating:
3.0 stars

HP Color LaserJet CP1215

The bottom line: The Color LaserJet CP1215 is HP's entry-level printer built to serve small workgroups, but it suffers from frustratingly slow print speeds, a missing LCD screen, and other problems. Your $299 will go much further with the Dell 1320c, another color laser with faster print speeds for the same price.
