- Dell Inspiron 531s Full Review »
- The good: 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 The bad: Core hardware costs more than in a comparable PC from eMachines The bottom line: 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.
