CNET Review
The Good: Dual-core processor; dual TV tuners; respectable frame rates on current 3D games; highly configurable; incredible wide-screen LCD bundled with test system.
The Bad: No HDTV capabilities; wired mouse and keyboard.
The Bottom Line: With a glossy white case, Dell's new-look Dimension 9100 does double duty as a versatile Media Center and a respectable gaming PC.

Review Summary: Ultimately, the Inspiron 9300 doesn't live up to the standards set by the 9200. Battery life isn't crucial in a desktop replacement but performance is a disappointment. It's also expensive.

Review Summary: This beautiful 17-inch wide screen has fun-to-use media buttons, but you can find better-sounding entertainment notebooks; and for the money, we'd have like to get a TV tuner built-in.
