Excellent gaming performance ; Strong selection of connections

Not quite as upgradable as you'd hope ; Love-it-or-hate-it case coloration

Outfitted for a slew of multimedia and gaming needs. Design trumps unwieldy size. Gigabit ethernet connectivity is a boon to the gaming set. Home theater ready with 7.1 surround speaker outputs. Peripheral friendly with eight USB ports (4 front/4 rear)...

Anemic power supply puts a damper on future expansion. Included mouse and keyboard feels el cheap-o. Ridiculous weight puts a damper on mobility. Both fan and Blu-ray drive door are frustratingly noisy. Not bundled/paired with a monitor

High-powered CPU and graphics. Forward-thinking design. Top-mounted tray and USB ports. A 15-month subscription to McAfee Internet Security

Astoundingly stylish, equipped with high end features for gamers, the cherry on the cake being the gigabit ethernet connectivity, home theatre with 7.1 surround speakers, eight USB ports, 15-in-1 card reader, stalwart chassis design

Exorbitant price as compared to its other competitors, bulky, power hog, no monitor pairing, blu ray and fan door are thwarting noisy

:With the stylish outlooks dell surely has come out of the boring black grey terrain, smoking specifications, and personally I feel that it’s unblemished even on the performance scale. It’s bulky and the power supply that it requires is sure to get...
