Dell Inspiron 530s Desktop Computer (Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200, 320GB HDD, 2GB)
Speedy processor ; attractive design
Missing extra features such as HDMI, multimedia card reader, and eSATA ports
In its present configuration, the Dell Inspiron I530S-119B won't feel at home in a home theater or digital media environment, but it succeeds in providing high performance at minimal cost thanks to a faster processor than the competition. Future ...

Dell Inspiron 530-115B
Fastest desktop in its price range ; large hard drive ; decent amount of upgrade room
Limited variety of external ports ; slower PCs with similar specifications available for less
This Best Buy-version of the Dell Inspiron may look unremarkable, but thanks to its fast Intel CPU it's also the best performing desktop PC in its sub-$600 price class. Other budget PCs might have fancier bells and whistles, but we like this desktop ...

Dell Inspiron 530
Since Dell has stopped selling its AMD-based Inspirons, that leaves the Intel-powered Inspiron 530 and 530s leading its budget desktop charge. The Inspiron 530 is a modest $539 configuration that offers some surprising features for the price. Hewlett ...
Discrete graphics card has its own memory, so it won't steal from the system RAM ; built-in Bluetooth
The Inspiron 530 was outperformed on a few tests by a system that costs $100 less
PC vendors have very few tricks remaining to differentiate their systems from the competition, which makes the built-in Bluetooth in the Dell Inspiron 530 unique. There's little else that makes this system stand out, but if you need Bluetooth in your ...

Dell Inspiron 530s Desktop Computer (Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200, 500GB HDD, 3GB) review
Dell's first desktops to carry the Inspiron name look good, inside and out. With a huge range of available components and two equally attractive cases, mainstream consumers ought to be able to find a config that meets their budget, tastes, and ...
The Intel-based models offer both low-end Celeron and dual-core Core 2 Duo processors, while the AMD-based models offer both low-end Sempron and dual-core Athlon 64 X2 processors. Along with the name change, Dell's new Inspiron 530 and 530s PCs...

Dell Inspiron 530
The Dell Inspiron 530 may outperform its budget competition, but the overall package leaves something to be desired.
Good performance. Decent expansion options. Bloatware-free configuration.
Lacks Media Center functionality. Smallish hard drive. Only 30 days of McAfee virus protection.
While the Dell Inspiron 530 is a capable system for tackling home tasks (as well as some multimedia apps), there are better value systems that offer more.
Dell's latest budget offering, the Inspiron 530 ($499 direct), is a competent system for everyday home use (e-mailing, DVD burning, office productivity), and it even handles more-processor-intensive tasks, like editing photos in Photoshop, with...

Inspiron 530
The Dell Inspiron 530 was powerful enough to earn superior scores (for a value PC) in both its productivity and graphics performance tests, yet it's quite inexpensive at $689 (as of 2/7/08).
Strong performance in all benchmarks Discrete graphics card
FireWire ports not standard Requires tools for upgrades
If you want a value desktop with an excellent price-to-performance ratio and some room to grow, Dell's Inspiron 530 is arguably the best deal among the budget PCs we've tested recently
The Inspiron 530 provided the best performance in the 3DS Max DirectX component of the WorldBench suite of all the value systems recently tested. Our test system was based on a 1.8-GHz Intel Pentium dual-core E2160 processor and had two sticks of...

Dell Inspiron 530/2583 review
It's difficult to position Dell's Inspiron 530/2583 within our chart. It may have come in fifth place, but it hasn't really been running the same race.
The Dell Inspiron 530/2583 might be considerably slower than the other systems here, but it costs a whopping £70 less, is perfect for novice users - and there is some room for upgrades later on.
Dell Inspiron 530/2583 reviewIt's difficult to position Dell's Inspiron 530/2583 within our chart. We don't all need the ultimate in performance, and the Dell Inspiron 530/2583 comes with by far the most comprehensive software package for getting...
