Expert review by:

Dell Dimension 4600

 

Small-business owners are the unsung heroes of the PC industry. While the big corporate accounts can mean large individual orders, it's the mom-and-pop shops that make up the bulk of the PC market.

Low price. Roomy 17-inch LCD is perfect for looking at business documents and saves space compared with a CRT. Fast 2.8-GHz P4 (with HT) means years of useful life

Not much bundled software at this price, nor a DVD burner (which would encourage users to back up their system)

Dell Dimension 4600

 

A 17-inch LCD and above-average performance distinguish Dell's latest midrange offering, but the graphics performance on this model is mildly disappointing.

This Dimension 4600 carries a solid set of hardware for the price--but its graphics performance was middling.
