Desktops Buying Guide

Very good
THE GOOD
Discrete graphics card has its own memory, so it won't steal from the system RAM; built-in Bluetooth.
THE BAD
The Inspiron 530 was outperformed on a few tests by a system that costs $100 less.
THE BOTTOM LINE
PC vendors have very few tricks remaining to differentiate their systems from the competition, which makes the built-in Bluetooth in the Dell Inspiron 530 unique. There's little else that makes this system stand out, but if you need Bluetooth in your budget desktop, we can recommend no other.
