If you've been waiting for the right time to buy a new desktop PC, Dell.ca currently has an impressive selection of Vostro PCs with quad core processors to choose from. The release of Intel's new i5 and i7 processors has shaken things up (in a good way), and Windows 7 is now available as well. It's a good time to be considering a purchase.
At the "low end" of these deals, there is a Vostro 420 Tower with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400. At the other end of the spectrum, $999 will get you a Core i7-860 equipped Vostro 430 PC with 8GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro, and a 1TB Hard drive. Here's a more detailed look at the systems:
It's exciting to see good configurations for such a range of price points. We briefly saw a Q9400 equipped Inspiron PC at the $550 mark some time ago, but the Q9400 system here includes a dedicated video card. If processing power is of the utmost importance to you, then you will definitely want to consider the i7-860 systems.
These systems offer great value in our book. For many mainstream users and certainly for businesses, it would be quite difficult to go the "build-it-yourself" route for comparable systems when you have to factor in manpower, all of the components, operating systems, assembly and testing, as well as shipping (which is free from Dell.ca).
