I'm Dan Ackerman and we are here take a look at one of my favorite all-in-one desktops this is the Dell XPS 27 it is a new version of a system that we previously called the XPS one 27 and of course it's got a 27-inch screen and it's a touchscreen in fact it's such a big touchscreen I don't even need to scroll over it too far to get all my Windows 8 apps up on it they're all just right here on the screen and like a handful of other all-in-one desktops and even a couple of laptops that we've seen recently it's got a higher than 1080p screen resolution in this case it's 2560 by 1440 that's the same as you're going to get on the big 27-inch Apple iMac now this particular review configuration is two thousand and ninety nine dollars a little bit expensive but you do get a lot for it you get this big super high risk screen you get a new intel core i7 processor and that's the latest fourth generation Core AI series also known as has well of course you don't get the battery benefits of as well because obviously this is a machine that plugs into the wall doesn't have a battery in it and you can't really take advantage of the integrated better graphics and has low systems because this is one of those very rare on ones that has a decent discrete graphics card in it in this case it's the NVIDIA GeForce 750 m and I absolutely love that that graphics card is in here because it lets you play pretty much any modern game on pretty decent settings this is really one of the only things that you'd call a gaming all-in-one and when you have the super high risk screen and it's so big and so bright and so clear it's really a lot of fun to let's say load up steam and play some games on here it's one of the more fun non-gaming desktop gaming systems that i've tried out recently the XPS 27 comes with a perfectly fine but plant skiing kind of throw away wireless keyboard and mouse the adjustable stand doesn't go all the way flat this is where it tops out and it's kind of stiff hard to move with one hand but you can certainly adjust it a bit I love all the ports and connections on here you've got plenty of USB 3 ports you have not only an HDMI output but also a separate HDMI input so you can plug let's say a blu-ray player or cable box or an Xbox or something up to it and just use the monitor and speakers which makes it pretty handy for having in a dorm room or a den or in your bedroom instead of having a whole separate TV for that stuff obviously it's not the least expensive own one on the block you can actually tray down to about $17.99 to a core i5 CPU and still keep the Nvidia graphics which i think is really great and that's why this is one of my favorite all-in-one desktops of the year I'm Dan Ackerman and that is the Dell XPS 27
