news 28 Posted November 19, 2012 Reviewers, at times, can be somewhat myopic. I speak for myself in this particular instance. My job as a writer is to test hardware on a daily basis, and as such I have a very keen understanding (or so I hope) of the intricacies of computer design. If I need to build a machine, whether for test purposes or something that my wife can play Song Pop on, I have a near infinite variety of components that I can choose from to fit the needs of the project. As such, we often forget that not everyone has that level of expertise. Most people, in fact, just want to be able to buy something that not only fits their needs, but also simply just has to work.

Dell tweaks a few of the characteristics so that it easy to distinguish itself from the Apple product. I personally find it an attractive and wholly functional unit, but it of course lacks any kind of upgrade ability. As the years go by, users could find that the 3D performance is simply not enough to keep up with even casual games that do require 3D acceleration of some kind. That is a few years down the road, but when dealing with a monitor that features the 2560x1440 resolution it is certainly a consideration." Thanks!
