Reviews of the Dell Inspiron 545

CNET Review
The Good: Large 1TB hard drive; HDMI video output; strong online technical support.
The Bad: Outperformed by a Gateway that costs $200 less, and an Asus that costs only $30 more; overly spare connectivity.
The Bottom Line: 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 online support resources to give it an advantage.
