Dell Inspiron 531 (Blu-ray)

 

Blu-ray improves the Dell Inspiron 531's overall feature set, but other systems win in the bang-for-the-buck battle.

Good price. Bluetooth receiver. Blu-ray drive. "No additional software" (no bloatware) option.

Blu-ray is read-only. Other competitors at this price point offer better bang for buck.

Dell Inspiron 531

Wi-Fi option and a forthcoming built-in Bluetooth receiver brings Dell's connectivity into the 21st century; more expandability than HP's SlimLine; strong support

Core hardware costs more than in a comparable PC from eMachines

Dell may not have the most bang for the buck in its new, trim Inspiron 531S, but it offers more options than the competition in this new, small-scale Windows desktop. For systems in its slimmed down class, we recommend it. For budget PCs in general,...

Dell Inspiron 531

 

AMD Athlon CPUs in Dells aren't anything new, but the name is: Instead of a new Dimension, this one is an Inspiron. Is it inspiring? Read on . . .

Nice price for a powerful mainstream system. Well equipped for students. Discrete graphics. Widescreen monitor. System also available with Intel processors (as Inspiron 530). Included 3GB of online storage for backup.

Still some bloatware. Only 90-day McAfee subscription. ATX case is less upgrade-friendly than the old BTX case.

An Inspiron that's not a laptop, the Dell Inspiron 531 replaces the venerable Dell Dimension brand as the company's mainstream consumer desktop line. Available with both Intel and AMD, this one has a speedy Athlon X2 processor.

Sounds great with good volume.

 

When I first purchased my Inspiron 531 I thought I made a mistake due to so many people telling me that it was a weak computer that couldn't do what I wanted it to do. I've been surprised with how good the computer has been for me. I can work with...

This PC is more powerful than you have time for!

 

My Hewlitt Packard Pavilion froze up on me, so it was immediately replaced with this Dell Inspiron 531 three days later. The computer is so big and so powerful--2.90 GHz processor and 6.00 GB RAM, along with a 22 inch flat screen monitor, that I just...
