Dell Inspiron i14RN4110-8073DBK Laptop Review

The i14RN4110-8073DBK comes with plenty of port options, including VGA, two USB 3.0 ports, Audio jacks, Ethernet, card reader (SD/MMC/MS/Pro), and a USB 2.0 and USB/eSATA port that doubles as a charging dock for your peripherals when the computer is turned off (so long as it’s plugged in). There’s also 802.11n Wi-Fi built-in and Bluetooth, which will allow you to wirelessly connect more advanced peripherals like mice and keyboards. The 640GB, 5,400rpm drive is standard for the 14-inch budget category, and should provide plenty of storage space for all your media and documents. The Toshiba Satellite L745-S4210 also contains a 640GB, 5,400rpm drive.

Dell Inspiron i620-3708NBK Desktop PC Review

Dell Inspiron i620-3708NBK Desktop plain looking mid-tower case is matte black with shiny black front panel framed by silver trim. The top of the case has a recessed tray that is ideal for holding peripherals such as USB drives, cameras, and phones. Behind a sliding door on the front panel are two USB 2.0 ports, headphone and microphone jacks, and an SD/MMC card reader slot. Above the door are two optical drive bays, one of which houses a DVD burner. Blu-ray drives are rare at this price point and the i620 doesn’t have one but you can pick one up for around $50 and pop it into the secondary bay if you want to play HD movies on this PC. You won’t find any legacy PS/2 ports around back but there are VGA and HDMI video ports (the HDMI is another rarity for this price range), three audio jacks, an Ethernet port, and six USB 2.0 ports.
