PC increases performance for Windows 8
XPS One 27 of Dell is not a workstation computer. But the versatility in supporting the premium processor turns this all-in-one Core i7, 16GB, SSD-cache computer into a beast in the non-gaming apps. With the “gigantic” 27 inch 10-point touch screen, it can even be a perfect product for the cooperative creation.

But we don’t see this thing marketed as an earnest creative tool. Instead of that, I come to website of Dell and find that is innovated machine competes with the cheaper version of 27 inch XPS One, advertised as the most powerful personal devices.
It seems reasonable when you start with the basic $1,400 model, but when we begin to game with the $2,600 computers, we’re out of the domain of the multi-functional toys. With such money, you want an earnest or a powerful gaming PC. As our flagship XPS One is still stuck with the basic discrete GPU, business is the only place remained for this configuration to prove its superior. And it does so, of course.
Being a desktop computer user, I’m still more productive when using the previous Windows versions, even after getting familiar to the specific style of Windows 8. It may be because that I stand by the next generation OS which is using mouse input and the same keyboard that I’ve used for decades. But, fewer and fewer users continue to stick with the desktop computer. They’re using fingers to navigate the handsets. And Dell is making a bet that when they get back home, they want the same kind of experience.
That means calculating the expenses of a splendid 27 inch QHD onto what we expect to pay for a capable computer. Though we save $1,000 of our budget for the screen of Dell, $1,600 for the rest of the system is pretty high. However, let’s consider the more common models. paying a total of $1,600 for a model that supports touch is basically pretty fair to Core i5-3330S, 6GB DDR3-1600, 1TB hard drive, wireless network, keyboard and mouse. Yes, you lower the HD Graphics machine of Intel within that process, but if you’re willing to sacrifice gaming to have a cheaper computer, this compromise seems to be smart.
Dell competes with 27 inch iMac with the price of $1,600, $200 cheaper and includes touch screen, while Apple gives you GeForce GTX 660M graphics and more storage. These sophistications are certainly not as important to most of users as the fact that Dell keeps you in the Windows world, while Apple takes you to OS X.

Being a laptop enthusiast that spends most of the time in the office, swapping between PC hardware on the testing desk with the personal workstation computer, I’m scarcely the best to advance the evaluation about the experience based on touch of Windows 8. I think that the best description for Dell XPS One 27 will come from any who mostly links to the tech from the portable devices. I don’t need to look any further to find a person like that. Meet my wife.

“I’m a regular (portable device) user, a person who wonders how it’s going to be when possessing a PC supporting large touch screen. Instead of asking my husband for one, I stop by his office to check the tech he has. How strange it is, there’s 1 XPS One 27 of Dell. He knew that I’ve kept track of the new about CES 2013, and he knew I want to try the all-in-one series equipped with the latest Windows 8. He also knew that I would have my way to have it.
So, he gave me the shot to bring XPS One back to the office for a few days, as long as I told him about my impression for today’s review.
First, as this is all-in-one, the weight of the system and the screen is combined, so it’s pretty heavy. Despite its elegance, don’t mistake that it’s portable. You don’t want to bring it with you. Second, considering that though Dell packs the mouse and keyboard, the inclusion of touch screen means that you will spend more time with your finger on the screen than before. Keep the glass surface clean and the cloth in your hand, as fingerprint is unavoidable and distracting.
Aesthetics is important to me, and this computer has lots of quality I find attracting. As I’m using wireless network, the only cable I can find is the power cable. All wires coming with desktop PC have disappeared. You can also lay the screen down, like a stage. The screen is unbelievably sharp. As I’m not as tired like my husband when talking about premium hardware, the combination of fast processor, rich memory and multi-tiered storage mean that the performance is unlike anything I’ve seen, according to my point of view.”
