Dell Inspiron One (All In One) 23 System Review

It only requires the removal of two screws at the bottom of the rear chassis section to open the Inspiron One 23. All of the sections are neatly arranged into compartments, seperating the heat sources and ensuring an even spread of airflow.

All of the cabling is routed carefully between clasps, underneath an internal metal surround.

The 750GB hard drive is enclosed in a vented chassis which can opened for an upgrade/replacement later. Dell have installed the drive with the rear facing outwards to ensure that cool air reaches the components.

There is a fan placed centrally in the upper sector of the unit, to ensure that air is sucked in and then dispersed in a sideways manner, cooling all components.

The optical drive is at top right position (left, if looking from the front obviously). Sata and power cables are against carefully routed and held in place by clamps. It is a very neat, clean build and we found no build issues at all.

The CPUz and GPUz screenshots show the hardware configuration which we detailed earlier. It is worth pointing out that for £180 extra Dell will upgrade the system to a Core i5 460 processor which is clocked at 2.53ghz. They also enhance the system with another 2GB of ram and improve storage capacity by 250GB to 1TB. Whether you need these is very much a personal decision.
