Dell Laptop Reviews from CNET Editors
Dell Latitude E6400 Laptop Computer (Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 160GB/2GB)The bottom line: A total revamp of Dell's ubiquitous business laptop line, the Latitude E6400 offers Intel's latest Centrino 2 mobile platform and introduces a brushed-metal design that works at home or office, but the real highlight here is the long battery life. |
|||
Dell I15-156BThe bottom line: For less than $500, the Dell Inspiron I15-156B offers few frills, but is about as cheap as a dual-core laptop gets. |
|||
Dell Adamo Laptop Computer (Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400, 128GB HDD, 2GB)The bottom line: Dell's upscale Adamo is a 13-inch laptop for those who value design and finish as much as performance, but its luxury price will limit the potential audience. |

Dell Desktop Reviews from CNET Editors
Dell Studio Desktop Computer (Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200, 750GB HDD, 6GB)
|
|||
Dell Inspiron 537sThe bottom line: You might find a better deal from Dell if you configure an Inspiron 537s online, but this retail only model has little to recommend it. From slow performance to a weak feature-set, this budget slimtower is outclassed by too many other retail desktops. |
|||
Dell Studio One 19 Desktop Computer (Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200, 500GB HDD, 4GB)The bottom line: We suspect lower-end configurations of the Dell Studio One 19 all-in-one desktop will draw consumers looking for a low-cost, "fast enough" PC. But even its multitouch interface can't save our expensive review unit from other vendors' similarly priced all-in-ones with better features for the dollar. |

Dell Monitor Reviews from CNET Editors
Dell G2410The bottom line: The plain-looking Dell G2410 offers stellar performance and an energy conscious interface at a low price. |
|||
Dell S2409WThe bottom line: The Dell S2409W is a 24-incher that sacrifices features for price, but makes up for it in performance and ease of use. |
|||
Dell G2210The bottom line: The Dell G2210 offers stellar performance and an energy conscious interface at a low price. |

Dell Printer Reviews from CNET Editors
Color Laser Printer 1320cThe 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 1125The 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. |
|||
Dell All-in-One Wireless Printer V305w - multifunction ( printer / copier / scanner ) ( color )The bottom line: The Dell V305w is cosmetically appealing and inexpensive, but the output quality needs significant improvement, and the cost to maintain the printer is much higher than the industry standard. We recommend checking out the competition for a printer that will give you longer-lasting inks, cheaper replacement cartridges, and more acceptable photo-quality prints. |
