Dell Inspiron 545 review: Dell Inspiron 545

 

Dell Inspiron 545

Large 1TB hard drive; HDMI video output; strong online technical support.

Outperformed by a Gateway that costs $200 less, and an Asus that costs only $30 more; overly spare connectivity.

Dell seems to have missed a beat in this year's round of back-to-school retail desktops, and the Inspiron 545 is no exception. Its competition has too much to offer in the way of performance and features, leaving Dell with little but its established...

Dell Inspiron 545s review: Dell Inspiron 545s

 

Dell Inspiron 545s

Larger slim tower case allows for extra upgradeability; respectable single-application performance; large hard drive for its price.

Can't outperform a less expensive Gateway; outdated connectivity options.

The Dell Inspiron 545s cuts a more robust profile than other budget Inspirons by offering better upgrade options and some decent performance for its price. It has a hard time challenging Gateway's strong budget slim tower, but this Dell might sway you,...

Dell Inspiron 545

 

Usually electronics is the first department you see when you push your cart into a Costco store, and with good reason. Costco is a popular place to purchase TVs and computers (and watches and jewelry) while you're stocking up on life's essentials. Dell...

Quad core power for under $1,000. 8GB of memory. Nice build quality. Bundle includes large 23-inch widescreen monitor. Minimal bloatware. Expandable. Two-year warranty

Weak integrated graphics. Could use a Blu-ray drive to go along with hi-res display. No Wi-Fi networking. Only 30-day trial subscription to MacAfee Internet Security

The Dell Inspiron 545 gives users something they want: a bundled system with monitor that they can open and start using right away.

Dell Inspiron i545s-1476N and Sony Vaio L117FX

 

Desktops have evolved over the years; today, you can buy them with exactly the specs you need to suit your purposes, or customize them to fit the way you use your computer. If your needs lean more towards casual entertainment than business, the Dell...

For graphics, there is an Intel GMA 3100 integrated graphics chip on board. Windows 7 Premium 64-bit is the operating system that comes installed. Other notable features include a DVD burner and a 19-in-1 card reader that supports a bevy of memory...

Dell Inspiron 545 Desktop PC with 22-Inch Monitor Review

 

A powerful desktop computer with a big hard drive and large monitor thrown in for good measure.

It has nice features. It looks very nice. What is the price of this desktop?

Dell Inspiron 545s slimline desktop PC

 

A classy Dell desktop that skimps on connectivity

Good performance, attractive design, easily upgradeable

Outmoded graphics card, not much in the way of connectivity

When it comes to processing power and overall performance, the Dell Inspiron 545s is a reasonable proposition for the asking price. However, it lacks ports that some users might consider essential. All in all, an average effort.

Dell Inspiron 545s review

 

Sleek, shiny and aggressively colourful, the Dell Inspiron 545s falls into the same ‘look at me' camp as Apple's curvier offerings. It will serve as an office desktop or a general purpose PC for the home - though gaming is not its forte.

All up, the Dell Inspiron 545s is a reasonable offering that ticks most boxes on the casual shopper's wishlist. By the same token, it's completely unremarkable in most respects.
