Dell OptiPlex 460 Review

Dell XPS 460 (1163 Dollars direct, $ 1,393, and 22-inch) is a unit of a bridge between the consumer and the business world: It has some advantages, there is a consumer-class PCs, like the Intel Core i7 -2600, but otherwise, it is your all our activities. It is designed for companies without an IT department, and is a much better solution than simply dropping a powerful consumer PCs in your office. The Dell OptiPlex 460 system for SMEs to buy if you need more power to choose our Editors' HP Compaq 4000 Pro ($ 549 direct, 4.5 stars), which is more suitable for the secretariat.

The design and development

Your 460 sports a fairly standard mini-tower chassis, which is a separate and angular enough to be present, even if it has a unique design that characterizes the line Dell XPS. (Your 460 is a corporate PC, after all.) In order to measure the physical security, the Vostro is a simple cable entry hole in the printed case of the door helps to keep people from opening the case. There is also plenty of room for expansion cards and a number of external I / O ports. You will need a screwdriver to open the case and upgrade the internal hard drive or add a second room free, but the PCI Express (PCIe) slots are tool-free. Optical Bay, two DIMM slots, one PCIe x16 and PCIe x1 slot is empty for you, one PCIe x1 card system is the USB 3.0, which allows you to quickly transfer data on both the front and back of the computer (the last the way of a link inside the front gate).

Others follow the star of I / O, eSATA, is also fed to door on the rear panel. USB 3.0 is theoretically faster (5 Gbps against 3Gbps), but the door is convenient for users who already have an eSATA drive. Your 460 is also other ports, eight USB 2.0 ports, S / PDIF (digital audio), HDMI and analog audio, as well as VGA. You should be able to connect almost any business or consumer devices to this system, including smart phones, tablets, scanners and external hard drives. In fact, the only things that you can not connect to the old school serial devices (such as bar code readers, and some of the older PDAs). If you still do not use them in products, Dell continues to provide a set of doors is an enterprise-class machines like the Dell OptiPlex 780 Ultra Small Form Factor ($ 1,484 direct, 4 stars).

Dell added bloatware for Vostro 460-a good thing that business users do not need the lock system at critical times, because some random pieces of software is consuming memory or system resources. Vostro 460 comes with a variety of programs to support Dell and a Dell support for users of small businesses, the company promises will help end users and small-shop IT guy to diagnose and solve problems . Unfortunately, the system only includes a support base years and an upgrade to three years Pro-level support to speed recovery and on-site service costs $ 113 more. At least the support is 24 / 7

Your 460 with the 500 GB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive, which would be much to all but the knowledge-intensive firms. To put that in perspective, a 500 GB drive can hold over 100 DVDs worth of data, or more than 100,000 MP3 files. If you need more space, there is an internal drive bays and external ports for additional storage. Your 460 comes to 4GB of DDR3 memory, with space for up to 8GB more, change the current memory out, and you can max 16GB system. 4GB is a lot for most business users, especially if you're just going to use the system for ordering and accounting. To monitor the Dell XPS 460 has sent us was a 16:9 Full HD, which is 1920-by-1, 080 resolution within the screen size of an average of 1080p HD video online.

Performance

The Dell Vostro 460 comes with a second generation of Intel Core i7-2600 processor, quad-core processor compatible with Turbo Boost technology. This means you can temporarily overclock to 3.4 GHz to 3.8 GHz when needed, for example, when you need to make a quick calculation in Excel, upload your video to YouTube of sale, or edit a photo to remove a branch image the tree of shame of real estate, you have taken. Because the Core i7-2600, the Vostro 460 is station-class performance. And if you still rely on programs that only work on Windows XP, Virtual PC XP Mode allows you to use without any problem.

The Vostro 460 completed the test handbrake video in 1 minute 36 seconds and Photoshop CS5 test in 2:54. These times are amazing, as the more expensive HP Z210 Workstation Small Form Factor ($ 2.173 Direct, 4 stars) needs one thirty-two 3:04 ET, respectively, demonstrating the power of Core i7, Xeon E3 2600 compared to 1245. The Vostro 460 is also faster than the king of the all-in-one PC, the Apple iMac 21.5-inch (Ray) ($ 1,199 list, 4.5 stars), which took a little over two trials ( 1:56 in the parking brake, 3: 29 CS5). The Vostro 460 additional pieces acquired by obtaining a good Futuremark PCMark Vantage 10,286 in the score is much higher than the iMac (8141) or other midrange systems. (See the reference table for more).

Probably the best system to compare with the Dell Vostro 460 of the 21.5-inch iMac, which both have 21 - or 22-inch, high-end quad-core processors, and both are in the $ 1.200 - $ 1.500 price range. Dell is a more powerful multimedia, and has the advantage of running Windows applications from the box. Let's face it: even if the Mac is compatible with Windows, you still have to buy a copy of the operating system from Microsoft, and there are fewer Mac OS business there. Mac is a better performer in 3D, and thinner.

You might be tempted to buy a quality consumer, such as the Dell XPS x8300-5215NBK ($ 1,099.99 list, 4 stars), but does not work. The x8300-5215NBK i7-2600 has the same processor core, and even 3D graphics, but you do not buy a PC company to play games and you give up the business-oriented Vostro support. HP Compaq 4000 Pro hangs on SMB as our editors choice because of its extremely low price, but if you are in need of more power, Captain, we strongly recommend taking a look at the 460th Dell Vostro
