all-in-one PCs of a very interesting reputation these days most people don't consider them that slow computer like they once were and we're just good for browsing the web or checking email but they're not also considered to be the best of the best that can handle 4k video editing as well as VR gaming right out of the box but Dell is looking to change that mindset the new all-in-one 27-inch Inspiron 7000 can do just that but is there really both a beauty and a beast let's talk about it so let's get specs out of the way first thing our unit is powered off of an 8 core AMD Rison processor with 16 gigs of RAM and rx 580 GPU a 256 gig nvme SSD coupled with a one terabyte hard drive for data storage it's also got a 4k anti-glare IPS display that dominates the front of this machine it's a fairly beefy system inside and considering they crimp all these components inside an all-in-one which is a fairly small and compact footprint I'm pretty impressed so the screen on this all-in-one machine is really following that design trend from Dell of an infinity edge display I mean you're gonna have thinner bezels on the top and the sides of the display but the bottom is gonna have a much bigger chunkier bezel but at least that bezel serves double duty it sports Dells performance stereo speakers under the grill as well as a Windows hello compatible IR camera and a webcam I still have my gripes with the webcam it is decent quality but it's probably in the most unflattering position possible though I really like Windows hello it's convenient it's fast it was fairly consistent throughout my testing speakers were also fairly decent definitely loud enough to be used for any movie night with friends or if you want to fill up your home office of music the big story of course is that 27-inch display it's an IPS panel with a matte finish that kind of helps prevent glare and the colors look super vibrant and sharp playing back 4k content on this display looked fantastic and they'll amount a huge fan of that anti-glare display technology it didn't take away from quality at all jumping to i/o on the back of this thing is almost every single port you could ask for it's got a USB C port though no Thunderbolt 3 here multiple USB 3 ports an HDMI out port and even an HDMI IN port so you can actually plug in a console of your choice and use this thing for all its 4k display goodness there's even a full-size SD card slot and an Ethernet port so you're getting kind of all the creature comforts of a desktop tower but in a pretty stylish all-in-one form factor so besides just watching 4k content on the display you're probably I don't want to use the computer to edit 4k video and do some moderate to high intensive gaming and this Michigan handles all of it really well I had no issues whatsoever editing 4k video back in Premiere Pro playing it back full quality in the timeline and rendering it out it was all super fast and on par with other Intel machines the rx 580 is also a very capable graphics card big-name titles like GTA 5 rocket League and battle grounds all ran extremely well at moderately high settings mostly thanks to that eight gigs of video ram you can play games and 4k on this thing they're gonna have to adjust your settings accordingly to get pretty decent framerate I will mention though that we had some issues playing battlegrounds kind of the hottest game out right now but at the time of this recording the game is still in alpha and not very well optimized though it is still definitely playable on this machine so the RX 580 graphics card and the eight core eyes and CPU inside of this machine the computers actually already right out of the box and Dell loves to tell you that on the website so grab your VR headset a choice plug it in and you can play VR games without any hiccups fan noise was an initial concern of mine and especially with an all-in-one having all those components crammed in and I thought it was going to be really loud but Dell did a pretty good job venting and cooling all these components and even under load the fans are definitely on and audible but it didn't sound like a jet engine was taking off from my desk bottom line I had zero performance issues of this machine this is my first time extensively testing a rise in base PC and I was really pleasantly surprised with how well it performed day to day tasks like checking email and browsing the web and doing some light photo and video editing was super speedy and fast and even with some heavier tasks like full-on 4k video editing and some moderate gaming the system handled all of it really well another thing worth mentioning is that for being an all-in-one this machine is surprisingly upgradable unscrewing a few screws on the back gets you access to the guts in the machine and the RAM hard drive and even the nvme SSD can all be replaced and though it's not encouraged by Dell some reports online say that with a little bit more work the CPU can also be upgraded so I really do like this Dell all-in-one and I have had a lot of negative things to say about it but though I know you'll ask let's talk quickly about peripherals Dell will tell you all these great things about their keyboard and mouse combo and how it won a bunch of awards but though that may be true I don't have a lot of praise for them I will say the keyboard is actually surprisingly a pretty solid wireless keyboard had a really good key travel and it was pretty comfortable to type on but the mouse just felt cheap and lightweight and put my hand in kind of an awkward position a wired or wireless mouse of your choice is a simple and easy solution to this problem but I did think it was worth mentioning and wrapping things up with pricing we have one of the higher configurations that Dell offers for this machine but you can get a baseline configuration of this machine for just $9.99 so to answer my original question yes the Inspiron 7000 really is both a beauty and a beast despite its plastic build that I thought was a little bit cheap it really is a good-looking computer that packs a lot in a really small and compact footprint do you want to finally
