It’s kind of weird bringing news of an all-in-one PC just a day after Apple announced its revamped iMac. Compared to that razor sharp beauty, it’s hard to get excited about the Dell Optiplex 9010. But you know what the Dell has that the iMac doesn’t? A decent price tag. Matter of fact, after today’s rebate, you only have to pay $799 for a “non-touch model with a 2.8GHz Dual-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 250GB HDD, and Windows 7 Pro.” It’s a nice PC, nice price. Apple’s way too overpriced anyway, everyone knows that. Do you wanna be that guy?

Well, it’s back to desktops. Joy. But hey, look at that: an 8GB of RAM system for $529. That’s a pretty decent amount of RAM, and considering it also comes wrapped with a desktop enclosure, a Core i5-2320 3GHz Quad-core CPU, and a 1TB Hard Drive, the price is pretty reasonable. Now let’s be clear, the Inspiron is not “The PC You’ve Always Wanted”. But it’s a good value desktop, will get the job done and if you’re a small business owner, there’s a good chance you’re looking at this with some interest.

With the amount of laptops we cover in this column, it should be pretty clear that dual-core processors are still pretty much the norm. There’s a smattering of quad-cores, now and then, but it’s mostly two. We perk up a little bit when we see four cores running as one, even if its of the Core i5 variety. The Dell Vostro 270 you see above is running a Core i5-3450 3.1GHz Quad-core Ivy Bridge processor, along with “4GB RAM, 1TB Hard Drive, a 19-in-1 card reader, DVD burner, Wireless-N, four USB 3.0 ports, bundled Keyboard + Mouse, pre-installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit OS and more.” For $500 flat after a $350 rebate, that’s a decent desktop.
