Dell's 6400 is a great value mid-range notebook with very few weaknesses. The support is the icing on the cake.

Small, funky and fast, the studio hybrid is the pick of the small PCs. You've read our first impressions, now see our full review of the Dell Studio Hybrid.

Flawless. Behold, the crème de la crème by Dell.

Small but perfectly formed, the D420 has hours of battery life and loads of features and great ergonomics.

Luxurious extras and design make this a highly desirable machine. It’s ideal if space is at a premium at home.

On receiving this unit, we were impressed by the mammoth 15.4in widescreen display. Although sceptical of its ability to perform given its monster display size, we were proven wrong at every turn, with the 8600 performing similarly to the more expensive Toshiba Tecra S1 Notebook (July 2003 page 40). Absolutely bursting at the gills with features, this Notebook boasts an array of connectivity options including side mounted FireWire and IrDA, while on the rear of the unit we find two USB and legacy serial, parallel and S-Video ports.

Fantastic design and highly-configurable power make this XPS useful, desirable and good value.

Dell has waited several years to release its own PDA, and now committed to Pocket PC, Dell's main weapon is aggressive pricing that's on the verge of insane.

Great for executives on the move thanks to size and decent battery life, but the missing optical drive disappoints

Great for executives on the move thanks to size and decent battery life, but the missing optical drive disappoints.

A stunning piece of hardware that will tempt more than just the high-end designers it’s intended for.

A good first stab at the semi-ruggedised laptop market. It isn’t up to the tough standards of others, though.

Great quality, great features, great price.

World's Fastest Notebook.

The Inspiron 630m is Dell’s first 14-inch widescreen notebook.

Powered by a 1.6GHz mobile Pentium processor, featuring dual-band 802.11a/g wireless capability and sporting a 15.4in wide-screen display, the Dell D800 represents the best of the Latitude series of notebooks. At around 3.3kg, it is not light, nor is it thin – but is complemented by an exceptional finish and a solid set of technology.

Dell's OptiPlex range is aimed at the corporate market, and traditionally bog-standard and boring boxes with little imagination and componentry to match, but the OptiPlex SX260 is a totally different beast.

This system is one of the most well-rounded and pleasurable-to-use PCs of the bunch, thanks to quality peripherals and handy features, like front-mounted USB and headphone ports.

Very fast for some applications, but poor gaming performance and strong competition reduces its appeal.

Dell’s new Inspirons are more about colour and value than performance and excitement.
